Successfully defended against speeding ticket

I received a speeding ticket in Boston and it was important to me to get it dismissed, as a clean driving record is important for my job, as well as insurance. I contacted a few attorneys to get a quote, most just blew me off and ignored my inquiry; Kelly did not. She returned my call within a busi...ness day and quoted me a price that was less than any other lawyer that DID return my call. She also sounded much more confident and familiar with the traffic court process than the others, so I hired her. She was able to successfully nip the problem in the bud at the first step of the process (I was found "not responsible" for the ticket at the magistrate hearing) and I believe it was solely due to her good reputation among the traffic courts that I was able to get away free and clear. I did not have a very strong defense, and am quite certain without her, I would have lost my case. For just a shade more than the cost of the citation, I retain a clean record and will continue to save on future insurance premiums. I would highly recommend her if you have a traffic ticket problem in Massachusetts.

No Luck Needed.

It was a pleasure working with someone like Kelly. Kelly offers great skills, she is polite, has a great sense of humor and is highly professional. Her work and reporting are on time and accurate. I have confidence in Kelly's ability to represent me in even the most difficult situations and I will c...ontinue to seek her advice going forward.

Not a trustworthy lawyer.

Was looking for a lawyer to help reinstate my hearing as I missed it due to being in the ED. I signed up for tixnix.com,Kelly contacted me stating she could help. She was really nice and answered all my question promptly until I paid her...After that it was hard to get in contact with her by phone or... email. After many emails and voicemail she finally got back to me 3-4 weeks later stating the court approve the motion for a new hearing. I was glad everything was all set and started driving again, until I found out that the court never approved of any motion or even heard of this lawyer coming by. All in all I am down a couple hundred and got fined for late fee and interest by the RMV. I would not recommend this lawyer to anyone unless you feel like throwing your hard earn money away.
