Michael and his team were the absolute best. I hired them two days before my court date (I'm a bit of a procrastinator) and they were still able to help me. I received a traffic ticket for using my cell phone while driving. I was actually using my GPS. Before hiring, I was able to explain my situa...

cellphone ticket found guilty

At the end I get the ticket back from the officer and had seen numerous mistakes such as wrong last name on ticket, wr...
Good Day Mr. Eliron, I apologize you were unhappy with the judges decision. In reference to your comment above, I want to inform you that we do not highly favor TLC drivers. We happen to have a large population of E Class drivers. As far as your traffic ticket, It is solely up to the judge if he wishes to dismiss the case for errors written on the ticket. The errors you pointed out would help if it were a parking ticket. but not even that is guaranteed for dismissal. The goal is to get the case dismissed but as we explained to you before you hired us we do not guarantee wins. You can not base your case on someone elses case. In the end of it all, it is up to the judge to decide who's argument he believes and he is will make decision according. We did call you to give you the results and we sent you a letter. We have over 40k clients. We are not personal friends with everyone who hires us and we fight and win cases. Whether you are a $1 client or a $100k client we do not treat anyone lesser or higher. Everyone is equal in our office. Again I apologize we did not win. Thank you
