Lisa Marie Donaldson's Reviews

Was able to get my ticket reduced to a lesser offense which in turn, wasn't sent to my insurance company. Helped a bunch. Will recommend.

Lisa was referred to me by a friend who had a negligent driving ticket taken off his record. Three years later I managed to get a very similar ticket and Lisa got it off my record for less than the price of the ticket. I never had to show up in court or mail any papers (except for my ticket, I think). Overall, I think she is by far a lot more professional than other lawyers I have talked to, and it goes a long way when you don't quite know what you're doing. I recommend Lisa to everyone I know now.

Lisa is such a nice person and a great attorney! She is definitely trustworthy and is very responsive. She always kept me informed, step by step, through my process. I have received three tickets (2 for speeding and 1 for driving in carpool lane with only one occupant...me) and she has got all of them dismissed. I refer Lisa to anyone I come into contact with that needs help with infractions. I believe Lisa is the best attorney in Seattle and would never hire anyone else. She is very knowledgeable, helpful, and diligent and I truly appreciate her services.

Lisa, you are awsome!!!! Thank you so much! You turned a stressful situation into a stress free one! Hooray!

I was cited for speeding and immediatley began reading reviews and comparing traffic lawyers in the Seattle area, ultimately deciding to hire Lisa Donaldson. I couldn't be happier with the decision, as my ticket was dismissed. The whole process was very easy, I did not even need to attend the hearing. I was kept well informed throughout the process and all my questions and conerns were responded to promptly.

She has done excellent work in getting our traffic citiations thrown out or reduced. I would highly recommend her.

I have been pulled over 3 times and received 4 tickets in the past year and a half for speeding, driving with others in the car before my first 6 months were up, and rolling through a stop sign twice. I was only 16 at the time of receiving most of these tickets, and every single time, she has been able to get them dismissed! She obviously knows her stuff! Its great knowing that there is someone you can rely on when something unfortunate like this happens. She is absolutely the best decision i have ever made when it comes to these matters. Invest in her and you wont be sorry. She is excellent! Thanks Lisa

Let me just say, Lisa gets it done. A few years ago, I got a ticket for speeding. My friend recommended a lawyer to call. I called him to find out he couldnt help me because he didnt want to work in snohomish county. He referred Lisa to me. I called her, hired her, and she got it dismissed. Perfect result as far as I was concerned. A year later, I bought a new car that loved to go fast. I got 6 tickets for speeding with-in 1 year. Lisa got them all dismissed. I just got another ticket today (few years later) and im going to send her another check. Im 100% satisfied with the results she has provided me with. Yes, its unfortunate to get a ticket, (dont recommend it), but I think its a good feeling knowing that all you have to do is send off a check to her and she gets it DISMISSED. She definitely is on my Xmas card list. Hire her, you wont be disappointed.

I received two speeding tickets in a matter of a couple of months. One speeding ticket was written for 5 miles over the speed limit (65 in a 60 on the freeway - going south through Tacoma). I don't know how fast I was going other than I was going the same speed as everyone around me (in the middle of a pack), but I was the lucky one that got tagged. Lisa got the ticket dropped. Thanks!

The second ticket was for 20 over the speed limit on an arterial street in Snohomish. I was going down a hill, and I just wasn't paying attention to my speed. I had to take the officer's word regarding my speed, but I'm sure I was over the speed limit. Lisa had this reduced to a non-traffic ticket, and specifically for "expired tabs". I didn't have expired tabs, but I prefer that as the result rather than a "serious traffic violation" that could impact my insurance coverage.

Thanks again, Lisa!

I would definitely use Lisa again (but I hope not to), and I would not hesitate to refer any friends/family to her. I have pre-paid legal coverage through my work (unfortunately Lisa does not come up as a referral), and I called about 5 different attorneys. I only had one call returned, and that attorney didn't seem to know what she could do for me (this is for the 5 mph over ticket).

I used Lisa and wow! Her staff were kind, caring, responsive and sweet, just like she seems to be! My case was dismissed, she gave me a deal and was an all around good person. She is genuine and knowledgeable! I have used other attorneys in the past and had dissapointing results. I know now to stick with Lisa! She is a diamond in the rough! THANK YOU LISA! :)

I was pulled over and got a ticket for having no insurance and expired tabs (Nov. 2008). i went to court to contest the hearing, and was informed to get repersentation by the judge, because at the time i recived the citation my licsence was suspended. after doing some investagating i found that it was true i had an unpaid ticket from 2007. the DOL did not inform me of the circumstances. to make matters worse i was pulled over a sceond time for expired tabs. i had two citations for the same thing. (stupid i know). After that i was left with no choice i had to hire ($280.00) a lawyer. Lisa Donaldson. she was great i didn;t even go to court and she got both my ticket dismissed yes i did say both. she did the second one for FREE. Some poeple might say it's a lucky star, but i know the truth Lisa is a dame good lawyer. I will never use anyone else except her ever again. Lisa if you read this thank you again your the best. you saved me hundreds and kept my record clean thankx.

I paid $275 to Lisa Donaldson via TixNix / her website to fight an unfair speeding ticket on about Feb. 10, 2009. On Feb. 13, 2009 I informed her via phone that I do not wish to accept any deals that could be offered and I need to fight this. She sent me a letter dated the same date to meet her in front of the court house at 2:15 PM. I waited at 2:05 PM until 2:29 PM until I had only one minute left before I had to be in the court room. During the court, I was told she tried to make a failed deal and that I had the chance to call. I tried calling a few times with no luck and was given the ticket of $271 for speeding in a school zone. She called and apologized for not showing up and for trying to make a deal when she said she would not. This has caused me a lot of stress, could cause my insurance to increase, caused my OPS complaint against the officer to have little weight, and for me to have to pay the fine. I would have been better off hiring a better qualified rock than to hire Lisa

I thought I had no recourse when I received a ticket in E. Washington for driving over 20 in a school zone (I had gone one way before school got out and returned when it had so I did not notice the change). She offered to assist and using her expertise she was able to get my ticket completely excused. It was painless and easy and worth the effort for sure. Lisa knows what she is doing and takes the time to review all the options and possible outcomes. Seems as if she works really hard to keep up with things all over the state and not just in Seattle area.

I used this lawyer for a speeding ticket. I have no tickets on my record. They made a plea deal that was the same deal that I could have got if I called up the precutting attorney myself. The only problem is I paid 300 dollars for their services. It was a waste of money. My advice is to use someone else that would go the extra mile.

I've had Lisa represent me twice in the past two years (both times for speeding tixs). Both times she completely handled the situation. I didn't have to take time off of work to go to court or anything. And both times the tickets were dismissed.
Bottom line Lisa gets the job done. Excellent results.

I contacted Lisa after reading favorable reviews about her online. She was very organized, and seemed knowledgeable, I received my informational packet just a few days after sending her the check for her fee. I felt pretty confident about not attending court with her, but now wish I had been there. The fee for my speeding ticket was $274, since it was in a school zone (I was driving under the posted limit but did not notice the school zone sign). Lisa worked out a deal with the prosecutor that they would drop the speeding ticket, cite me for a seatbelt violation (even though I was wearing my seatbelt), and I would have to attend traffic school. The traffic school costs $175. The seatbelt ticket costs $101. I now owe $276 in fees, which added to the $275 lawyer fee doubles my cost for the ticket. Lisa says that the seatbelt violation is good because then it won't be reported to my insurance company, but I doubt my insurance would have added up to the fees I am now paying. I wasn't even given a phone call about the results of the hearing, just a letter. The most frustrating part for me is that she has described this as a favorable resolution, and I do not seem to have any recourse in the matter. It's a hard lesson to learn, and I wish I would have done more research and not hired a traffic lawyer.

Lisa was exceptionally effective and took charge of my case and kept me informed. She took care of all the details and took care of my traffic citation, trouble free. I whole heartedly reccommend this person. H

Fortunately, I do not get into scrapes with the Highway Patrol very often. However, recently I got a traffic violation that had a large fine. I strongly felt that it was unfair and unwarranted. Lisa was recommended by an old friend and I asked her to represent me in traffic court.
I found her very professional, knowledgeable, of very high integrity, and totally on top of the situation. We prevailed in the case and the traffic violation was waived.
I would most highly recommend her without reservation to anyone that finds themselves in a similar situation. You will be in the best of hands.

Lisa was very professional. The moment I contacted her she told me what to do. From there on out she sent me a letter describing everything that I needed to do and what she will do. There was no gray area. From there on out she took care of my traffic ticket. Lisa ended up getting my speeding ticket dismissed so I would HIGHLY recommend her :) She's a very thorough and genuine person and I will most definately go to her if I get anymore tickets.
