Posted by Thomas | November 10, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Thank you!!

Not too long ago, I was issued a bogus speeding ticket by a state patrol officer near my neighborhood. The officer said I was doing 46 on a 25. Which was a flat out lie! But I found myself on a isolated road, at night, as a Latino male. Needles to say, I was very nervous and felt helpless as he and I... were alone and it was his word against mine. There was just absolutely no way I was going to speak up and risk becoming another statistic on the news with all that’s been going on. At the hearing- (Not knowing what to do), I asked to delay my court date so that I could gather legal assistance and I swear! By the grace of god, I ran in to Colette Katz. I had no idea where to go and I briefly stopped her to ask for directions to where I needed to go next. During our our encounter, she was very courteous, and professional and in passing mentioned that she was part of a law firm and that in case I needed help, that I should look her up. Let me tell you right here right now, the best thing I did was grab her card!! And I’m telling you right now the best thing you can do is to partner with her for your troubles!! She got me a not guilty verdict and saved my butt 6 points on my license! I can tell you that officer is a ticket scammer and definitely preyed on me that night but justice was served thanks to Colette Katz’s Law Firm. She is highly experienced, walked me through the whole process and made this ordeal 100x easier than I couldn’t have imagined. Thank you, thank you, thank you Colette!!! I am definitely referring you to all my friends and family. Best wishes to you and your firm!

A great attorney

Colette Katz Law Firm Super professional gets the job done The attorney called me herself after the case to let me know the verdict most attorneys have somebody else call you that means a lot to me. I will definitely Recommend them and Definitely have them take care of any future tickets
