I would not use their services ever again and will not recommend, rude representative and playing tricks with my mind so I ended up just paying 200.00 fine plus what they had charged me to represent my case, extremely disappointed. Poor representation. Will be driving to the speed limit to avoid any further unnecessary loss of time and money and poor customer service. Or will sure go to another law firm.

Disappointed in their work ethic. I called them twice before my court date because I am in the military and would not be able to attend as I am on orders. Both times they told me to submit the orders to them. Once I did, they emailed back to call them when I was ready to move forward with the motion of continuance. I honestly thought everything was good to go. As someone who isnt well versed in their terminology, I assumed I should call them when I was back in town and ready to go to an actual court date. My court date came and they sent a lawyer to this court date and I was issued a warrant

Disappointing, I paid $100 for my ticket dismissal and after 4 months finally, I got a notice from the court Nonappearance show cause notice. During all this time no one contacted me or send any mail regarding my case I finally decided to pay my ticket because I dont want to get arrested. The unprofessional communication lady on phone was rude and said there is no refund of your $100.
