I wanted to let everyone know what a great experience I had with attorney Samantha Upton.  I was stopped for a speeding ticket (91 in a 65 zone) on I-95 returning from a wedding.  I never go this fast but circumstances were unusual....no excuses, I was wrong.    As a resident of Pennsylvania I had no idea that Virginia takes speeding very seriously.  This was in the area that is considered not just speeding but "reckless driving" which is considered a misdemeanor in Virginia.  After a review of my options I called the law firm of Weiland Upton and was fortunate enough to be able to talk with Ms Upton. She was very reassuring and agreed to represent me in this matter. She was very thorough in preparing my defense. She reassured me that I need not take time off of work to return for the hearing and that she would appear for me.  I was elated to learn that she was able to reduce my offense to the level of a traffic ticket meaning....no misdemeanor, no license suspension, and no points!!  She was able to negotiate a reasonable fine plus court costs.  I can't tell you how pleased I've been with Ms Upton and the folks at Weiland Upton. I hope never to need their services again but if so, they would be the first I'd call

Mr. Weiland recently represented me in court for a traffic violation and obtained the best outcome possible by getting the charge reduced to a minor violation. He was very professional, responsive and provided excellent representation on my behalf. I would highly recommend his legal services to others and provide him an Excellent rating of "5"!

Mr. Weiland and his staff were among the epitome of professionalism; with prompt and superlative dedication my case was resolved with an extremely favorable outcome. I was being charged with reckless driving by speeding, and Mr. Weiland with supporting evidence got it reduced down to a non moving violation. I am active military and was new to the area and was not aware of area specific speed traps coming off a highway, Mr. Weiland had dealt with similar cases in his past experience and the case was very direct and simple for him. If you are prior military or active4 military I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Weiland, he understands the unique issues and circumstance we have to deal with because he himself is also prior service. Mr. Weiland is by far the most competent and passion driven legal representative I have ever come across and I feel more at ease now knowing that he is only a phone call away.

I am so beyond happy with the service I received from John Weiland. He was super nice and professional and an amazing lawyer. He took on both of my cases of reckless driving and speeding and got them both down more than I even imagined possible. If you need a lawyer he is the best I've ever had and worth every penny!

Mr. Weiland was very responsive in answering my (many) questions and going over all aspects of the case with me. He garners a lot of confidence and clearly knows the ins and outs of the legal system and of many of the courtrooms in surrounding counties. Mr. Weiland obtained a favorable outcome for us, and I'm grateful. We could not have achieved this ruling without a good attorney.

I found his fees reasonable for time invested in the case and in court. We are very pleased. I hope to not have to use him again, but highly recommend! (And happy to know he's there if needed).
Happy Client
I highly recommend John Weiland!!!! He provided me with proactive strategies to help me achieve a great outcome in court.  He bypassed the agreement presented by the prosecution and took my "intricate " case before the judge and he got the BEST possible outcome! He was honest, accessible and genuine. AWESOME! !!

Long story short. I was on way to NYC for job interview from NC. I loss situational awareness and a trooper pulled me over with 96/70 in Spotsylvania, VA which is reckless driving; thus, this will be a misdemeanor and facing jail time. I think this was a speed trap. First moving violation/speeding ticket ever in 19 years of driving. I was very distraught and sad. Mr. John Matthew Weiland was able to calm me down and provide a strategy to assist me in downgrading the charge and avoid jail time. Judge was adamant about not reducing the speed; however, John persuaded him into reducing the speed to 80/70. Trust me. I am not going to lose situational awareness ever again. It ain't worth the hassle.

Thank you soooo much Mr. John Matthew Weiland!!!!!

John was willing to talk to me long enough to get to know my situation the first time we spoke. As an out of state client he let me know what I needed to do and what documents I needed to supply for him to best represent me. He explained all possible outcomes, promising no particular one, only that he would work his hardest to get the best outcome he could for me. He was able to get all charges dismissed as long as i passed a driving class and paid court costs.

I called many attorneys, most charging more, and some charging less, but John was the only one able to put me at ease and make me feel certain my case would get the attention it deserved.

I am so glad I was represented by John Weiland. He got me the best possible outcome for my case.

I had gotten a ticket for improper stop on the highway. I researched the Web and found Mr. Weiland, called spoke with him. He was easy going discussed my case with him. He told me what he needed and the game plan for my case. I sent the corresponding articles of information he asked for. What I liked is that he made me no promises rather he delivered results and got my case dismissed. For that I owe him a gratitude of thanks as he protected my license,especially with me holding a CDL.

I received a reckless driving ticket in Virginia (88/70), and I was terrified. I'm an attorney, so I was committed to finding the best representation available - the person who had done the most cases with the best outcomes and who knew the court system well. After our first call, his expertise and helpful information immediately began to put me at ease. John was the perfect guy for my Caroline County case. He helped get my case dismissed and advised me on other elements of my matter (speedometer calibration, driving school, etc.). I would recommend him wholeheartedly!

Mr. Weiland is a very professional Lawyer that displays great integrity and honesty while working with his clients! Mr. Weiland had my Reckless Driving (80 MPH in a 55 MPH speed limit) dismissed on July 5, 2016. During my time awaiting for court, Mr. Weiland's team displayed great communication if I had any questions that needed to be answered. Mr. Weiland will be very transparent about the Best/Worst case outcomes. I hired Attorney John Weiland due to his creditable background and how he is respected by his colleagues. I would recommend Attorney John Weiland to those who have traffic citations! Lastly, Mr. Weiland's attorney fee is very respectable and affordable, and you will be satisfied with the results.
