Worst experience ever

Back in 2012, a friend of mine referred me to attorney Harvey Rivera to help me dispute a cell phone ticket! On my court date, he assured me that I did not have to show up and that he will contact me the day of. I never heard from Mr. Rivera I tried several times contacting him and was never able to ...speak with him. Not until I received a letter stating my license was suspended. I literally had to show up to the DMV to confront him. He stated he will contact me with an update but of course, he never did! I constantly reached out to him and no luck! It is 2018 and I yet have heard from him. He also pled guilty to my boyfriends stop sign ticket and assured him that the ticket was dismissed. NIGHTMARE!

Unethical Business

I was given a speeding ticket on 01/20/2015 hired Mr.Rivera made my payment over the phone. Getting in touch with the office is extremely difficult. They take down your information promising a call back from Mr. Rivera but that I never received. So I went to the DMV ,to find out my case was closed on... September 2017, the agent asked me who was my lawyer and the present day is February 5,2018. I paid $233 in fines , I called the law office while in the Department of Motor Vehicle and Teresa (secretary) told me my case was dismissed and I was found not guilty of any charges. When I confronted her with the situation, she quickly responded that it was my responsibility to follow up with the office. Please, do not conduct business with this establishment.
