Excellent Attorney

Tickets
Worst lawyer ever!! Never updated me about my case.He lost the case and not told me and I received mail letter from dmv.I was found guilty so I ended up paying for the ticket and his fee. The least they could’ve done is to give me a call and let me know about my situation. Waste of money!
