Just got a call from Jon after he appealed my case and he had my speeding ticket dismissed, thus preventing an earlier ticket from re-appearing as well. Jon is the MAN! I love this guy. He knows his sh*t and works hard to get you a positive outcome. Thanks Jon!

Client Review:
I had two choices: One was to pay the 200$ citation and have my insurance rates go up, or to hire an attorney that specializes in this area. After talking to a few friends of mine who had used attorneys to fight off their traffic tickets in the past, I thought I'd look into it a little bit more. After reading several good reviews on Jon, I decided to give it a go. Jon granted my wish and got my case dismissed!

I was a little worried about my speeding ticket, so I hired the best attorney I can find to keep my driving record clean. Looked him up via internet and attained his services due to the great reviews, very reasonable price. I fed him the info on my ticket and he took care of the rest. On the court date, i got an email stating the dismissal and my slate stayed clean. Off to a good weekend. Awesome work!

I was surprised that Jon expressed himself in such a personable and helpful manner, especially over the phone. I wouldn't expect that from any lawyer. He didn't always immediately reply via email, but it's probably because he's a busy guy.
He did a great job with my traffic case, and had it dismissed completely. I highly recommend him. Jon Michael Zimmerman

I requested Jon's representation in disputing a speeding ticket and later, a ticket originating from an accident. Like most of us, I knew I was not guilty but did not have the resources or knowledge to fight the citations. Jon kept me informed and reassured me of my chances. You can't arm yourself with anyone better. Know that he is among the best resources for all those who need help with traffic citations. I am in the legal field myself and greatly admire Jon and his work.

I hadn't been pulled over in more than 15 years but lo and behold, I get two tickets in just about as many months! Jon helped me - one in King Co and one in Snohomish Co - and both were taken care of where neither of them landed on my record, and one was actually dismissed. I didn't have to do anything - Jon took care of everything (I was even out of town for the first ticket's hearing). If you have any type of traffic violation, call Jon for help!

Needless to say I am not the most conservative driver in the world. I have been working with Jon for the last 2 years and on the numerous traffic cases he has worked for me I have always been satisfied. It started really well considering the first ticket I brought to jon was not a pretty one and I thought I was done. Well he assured me that everything would be fine. The day he was in court I was eager to hear from him, he called me as he was walking out of court and simply said "Dissmissed" I dont think one word has ever made me feel so good in my entire life. Since that day I use Jon's services for everything possible and follow his advice on all matters. Metaphorically speaking Jon Zimmerman is the Ferrari of Attorneys and to top it off he is a really cool guy!

The only mishap we had was that he forgot to attend my first court date for a traffic ticket challenge. Though this seems very bad I assure it was not. I say this because the way Mr. Zimmerman handled this accident was nothing short of remarkable. He kept me fully informed every step of the way, was accountable for his actions, and ultimately won my case. Mr. Zimmerman is a lawyer of the highest integrity and legal aptitude, I would recommend him to anyone.

Lawyer's Comment: This hearing was uncharacteristically scheduled by the court much sooner than most hearings are scheduled. As such, notice was cut short and the first hearing, as the client noted, was missed. I take full responsibility for this mistake but as I quickly realized what had happened, the mistake was corrected, the client was not prejudiced, and the case was dismissed.
I appreciate this client's comments because mistakes happen. When they do I do my best to correct them and I was able to obtain a dismissal of this client's ticket.

I was pulled over and ticketed for going 65 in a 60 in the express lanes of I-90, at 5:30 in the morning. I was furious. There have been times when this may have been the case, but I was not speeding on this occasion.
Jon was able to get the ticket dismissed and I did not have to appear in court. The fact that I did not have to miss work for this, pretty much makes it a wash from a money standpoint. I would definately use Jon's services again if needed. Jon Michael Zimmerman

Client Review:
Jon is knowledgeable and understands how the court system works. He is a good traffic lawyer. My only frustration is that the first appearance at the court he didn't seem to have prepared or read the case, so he would postpone the court date for another time. I felt that it would have been a much better experience if he would have studied the case and find out who the judge is before hand, such that I don't have to waste one travel. On the actual court date, he was able to negotiate for "inattention" so that it won't show up on my traffic record but I still have to pay for the ticket. I think he has done a good job.

Lawyer's Comment: This review brings up some very good points. It's always important to retain an attorney far in advance of the hearing so that the attorney can read and prepare the case BEFORE the hearing. Often, it is impossible to obtain copies of tickets days or weeks in advance of the hearing if the client retains the attorney rather late in the process (less than a few weeks before the hearing). Sometimes, the attorney only has a choice of obtaining copies at the last minute or not taking the case at all. When an attorney accommodates a last-minute client, sometimes the most prudent course of action is a continuance to another date.
Also, judges change at the last minute because of illness, vacations, calendaring of cases, and other matters. We attorneys have no control over this. As a result, attorneys often don't know who the judge in a particular case will be until the day of the hearing. We do try our best to prepare with the information that's available.

I have worked with two other lawyers for traffic tickets and although they both also got my cases dismissed, I felt that John was by far more responsive, honest, interested and sincere. He was able to dismiss an accident case for me; this is for a case where I was not able to attend, however, the other driver did! He seems very knowledgable and I appreciate his devotion to this jobs. At times, I received calls back from him at 7 pm...that's devotion! He also did not sugar coat my chances of winning and was honest and responsive to all of my questions (now that's hard to come by!) I appreciate the fact that John took my case seriously and seemed adamant about resolving it. This was a difficult case and thanks to him, my insurance company will have a higher chance at winning this case against the other insurance company. I definitely would recommend him to friends and anyone else. Lastly, when he called to give me the good news, he also went as far as informing me of the steps I could take to resolve this with my insurance company.

Client Review:
If it hadn't been for Jon Zimmerman, I could possibly be back in Florida right now, living with my parents, trying to save up enough to pay off my citations. I let my Florida tags expire shortly after I moved here, due to some problems with transferring the title from Florida (I was on the title with someone else) and the expense of getting your tabs here (the monorail tax alone ran almost $200). I was having a lot of financial trouble to boot. at some point I allowed my insurance lapse as well. Then a few months later, I got pulled over and fined for both (an over $700 ticket.) I quickly procured insurance and got tabs and steeled myself to beg for mercy in court, when only days later, I got pulled over and cited for the same offense, since my temporary tag had slipped out of the rear windshield, and my insurance paperwork was left on the printer at home.
Facing over $1500 in fines, I was terrified I'd have to move back to be able to lick my wounds and afford to pay off the violations. I wound up talking to Jon about it, since I knew him through the Jewish Community, and discovered to my surprise that he did traffic law, and wanted to start specializing in it. He suggested a couple of approaches that would help, and discussed the situation with me extremely knowledgeably. The choice to seek representation through him seemed obvious. After representing me in court on both tickets, he managed to reduce both fines by a large percentage, and get a portion of one waived almost entirely, due to a combination of the timing of the citations, my income, my history, my actions following the first citation, and points on which the city had been somewhat negligent that I was completely unaware of. His aggressively cavalier, yet still professionally fun and laid-back demeanor in his approach to the scenario went a long way to securing my victory. My over $1500 in fines quickly turned into 6 months of about $30/month in fines, which with careful planning, would not break me, even working a crappy job at minimum wage because I just graduated from college and relocated from across the country. I found his services to be absolutely invaluable. He seems to take each case extremely seriously, and besides giving me excellent results, consistently embued me with confidence during each conversation and meeting that the court date would go well if I followed the approach we agreed upon, and provided him with all the documents he needed... and his confidence was not unfounded. I don't think my trust could have possibly been more rewarded than having been rescued from having to skip town. Jon Michael Zimmerman

Client Review:
Jon Zimmerman is unquestionably a true master in fighting speeding and traffic tickets. I know this to be a fact from personal experience, as I recently hired Mr. Zimmerman to fight 2 speeding tickets on my behalf (one in Bellevue, WA, and the other in Seattle, WA), and in both instances, Mr. Zimmerman was able to get the ticket dismissed by the court (i.e: I was off the hook entirely; I did not have to pay a single dime (to the court, or anyone else). My driving record is now still clean as a whistle, thanks entirely to Mr. Zimmerman, & my insurance premiums did not go up at all.
In both cases, I did not even have to show up at the courthouse. All I did was send in the ticket to the court, along with a copy to Mr. Zimmerman with a check for his quite reasonable flat fee (which covered the entire case/until had been settled/finalized, irrespective of how much time was involved, or how many times Mr. Zimmerman had to appear in court, which is quite significant, as in at least one of these two instances I am 100% certain that defending my cause consisted of Mr. Zimmerman going to court twice, and he had great news for me when he told me both tickets were dismissed. On the citation I received in Bellevue, WA, Mr. Zimmerman was not only faced with the typical challenges of attempting to obtain a dismissal for a moving violation. But was also handed a plethora of additional/abnormal obstacles, which to name a few were: 1) He had virtually no time to prepare (having never even met Mr. Zimmerman, I pulled his name from the web and called him at 5:15pm on a Wednesday afternoon, and Mr. Zimmerman was in the courtroom, on my behalf, at 7:45 am Thursday morning (that's correct, only 14 hours later) 2) He was provided absolutely no paperwork/documentation whatsoever (not even a copy of the citation), until after he was in the courtroom, in front of the presiding judge 3) He/I was scheduled to be in the courtroom/on the docket of whom I discovered after the fact was/is unquestionably the most hard assed (pardon my language) judge in the entire state of Washington 4) The extremely well prepared, well seasoned/experienced citing officer (whom had already submitted paperwork to the court, which confirmed/verified his radar detection equipment had been recently calibrated and serviced) had been subpoenaed, and was present/in attendance in the courtroom. 5) The option/chance of obtaining an extension of the court date/time, (to possibly attempt to correct my very likely foolish choice of subpoenaing the citing officer, have the opportunity to familiarize himself with my case and/or the police report, research explore all available options, etc., etc., etc.), which would normally be at the disposal of an attorney in this situation, had already been denied (and to be clear; this was due to a combination of my own idiocy/error and/or the hard-ass judge, but certainly not because any error on the part of Mr.. Zimmerman). ...and still, Mr. Zimmerman managed to get the speeding violation dismissed !!! If this is not true mastery, then I certainly do not know what you would consider it. Jon Michael Zimmerman

It was obvious from the beginning that Jon knew very well what he was talking about. He didn't sugar coat my chances of winning to gain my business and was very honest and candid about the case. He was thorough and prepared for the court appearance. I ended up getting a deferred finding and am satisfied with my experience.

Client Review:
Jon is incredibly knowledgeable -- on both the letter of the law and and practical court policies and procedures -- in his area of specialty (traffic citations). He quickly figued out the weaknesses in the state's case and the best defense arguments we could make. Considering he charges a flat fee, he is very generous with his time and responsive in answering questions. Whenever I have a friend who has complained about receiving a traffic ticket, I do not hesitate to recommend Jon.

I recently received a ticket for "following too closely" on I-5 in Tacoma, a charge which I thought was fairly subjective. Jon Zimmerman was able to get the charges dismissed. I would definitely recommend him to help with moving violations.

Jon Zimmerman is excellent. The victim of waht I believed was an unfair speed trap, I first contacted him online and he telephoned within hours. He offered practical strategic advice on how I should handle my traffic ticket so the outcome would not affect my insurance. He asked for a one-time reasonable fee and went to court twice in my behalf. He successfully convinced the court to reduce my moving violation to a non-moving one. Mission accomplished!

Client Review:
I got referred from my coworker about Jon.
Prior to Jon's fightoff traffic ticket I got my 1st traffic ticket from Tilamook during vacation in Oregon. When I contacted the legal advice of my group legal plan, the traffic lawyer over there just told me to pay the ticket since they need it for their local economy ( all they have is a cheese factory ). The discussion stops right at that point. As a result, I paid my fine and my insurace went up by a few hundred for a few yrs (and this is my FIRST traffic ticket with over 20 yrs of accident free driving exp). So I was quiet skeptical about all these lawyer in terms of what they offer in traffic ticket consulting. For my 2nd ticket that Jon fought off, my expericen is totally diff. Jon asked for the contents of the ticket, told me what are my options, what I needed to send back to court, and told me he will drive all the way to Kent from Seattle to fight it off. And he did peel it off. I just wanted to say I am very happy about his service. Everything is well look after and fee is well spent!! Jon Michael Zimmerman

I recently received a traffic ticket and found Mr. Zimmerman online to provide legal guidance. I had never used an attorney before so I was skeptical about how an attorney could benefit me. He explained my options and what his capabilities were very clearly. His rates were reasonable, he communicated frequently with substantive informations, and he did exactly what he said he was going to do. I highly recommend Mr. Zimmerman, for me he did exactly what he said he could do.

Mr. Zimmerman is smart and effective. This is the second time I've used his services, and both times have been great.
He explained the process to me, handled everything, and won a good result. He is friendly, patient, hard working, and knows how the system can be tilted against regular people. He is great at representing us in a sometimes difficult or unfair process. Jon Michael Zimmerman
