NO TRUST HARVEY RIVERA!!

This guy is a joke! With his smile and actin like nice is the only thing he does. To fight your ticket is the worst and he like to forgot to appear in court. The date I have to see the judge he forgot my ticket and I knew in his face he was trying to act like he knows everything with his famous phra...se DON'T WORRY!! DON'T WORRY. But he doesn't like to take serious his job. DON'T TRUST this guy. I will post this review with my name so you will know Harvey who did it.

Failed to Appear

I hired Harvey Rivera to appear on a traffic ticket. I paid him money and he told me I could leave cause he would handle everything from there. I got a letter in the mail a week later saying my court date had been adjourned for another date. I went back to court on the new date and ask Haryevy what h...ad happened and why it was moved. He told me everything was fine and that he was going to handle the ticket that day. A week later I got another letter in the mail saying that no one appeared and I was found guilt, leaving me to pay fines, get points, and also an impending suspension. I called three days in a row leaving messages for him but I never heard back. Now I will be filing a grievance with the bar association against him.
