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.

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.

Not Good At All

hired him but seriously I could defend my self better than him. I felt really sorry the way he talked to me and other clients thinking that he's better than us. he talks to the judge who was young like he's dauther while the officer was stating. The judge didn't even here the case she just said guilt...y.
