Thank you for this review! It really does give me the opportunity in response to showcase and highlight the services we provide actual paying clients. People who read my response can learn a lot about traffic ticket defense, the purpose of an initial phone consultation, and the value of the services we provide. As anyone can see this person did not even retain us. Which calls into question the credibility of his opinion. He is not giving an honest opinion about the services we provide, but trying to hurt our reputation. However, all it does is make us stronger. This reviewer couches himself as a "potential client." Nothing could be further from the truth. First off, he never even called our office. This communication occurred through an online forum where I gratuitously answer basic legal questions for people. He asked a question, I answered it, he asked a follow up question, I answered it, and then he asked very technical and specific questions in the hypothetical. I then told him what he wrote above. By the nature of his questions it was obvious that this person had no intention of hiring us. He was trying to commit intellectual larceny to pick my brain on how to represent himself. My legal knowledge is my inventory of intellectual property. That, in addition to my legal acumen, legal acuity, and reputation is what I sell. While I am happy to answer basic legal questions either in an initial phone consultation or via an online forum, I am not bound to answer every legal question that shoots through ones grey matter. I am happy to provide focused information about the nature of the charges, the problems a finding of guilty can cause, the nature of the services we provide, and what would be a reasonable outcome of the case should you retain us. We need to discuss those issues so that you can make a decision as to whether or not it would be worth it, in your case, to retain our office to fight the ticket on your behalf. However, like I said, this guy never so much as picked up the phone and called, and did not ask questions online in good faith. Rather, he was seeking a written legal treatise of step by step instructions on how to represent himself in court. Again, that is the inventory of which I sell to paying clients. If someone wants to represent themselves in court they have that right. However, they should not expect a professional lawyer to give them step by step instructions on how to do it. When one represents themselves they must do their own legal research to understand the law and process. Myself and my team provide a yoeman's service to our clients. We go to court for them so they don't lose time from work. We save truck driver's from losing their CDL's, prevent thousands of dollars in insurance increases for passenger operators, prevent Uber driver's from having their licenses suspended, deal with difficult issues of suspension and revocation, thereby getting people back on the road who have been restricted from driving for years, and even have the know how and the knowledge to reverse convictions to restore driving privileges. We also represent clients in specialized hearings in the DMV such as fatality hearings, refusal hearing, and other due process hearings. We are very proud of our work, and as you can see have hundreds of positive reviews from actual paying clients. Just look at my web site and review our money back guarantee - the first law firm in the State of New York to make such a guarantee, and to my knowledge still the only ones that give such a guarantee. If you have a speeding ticket, moving violation, or have been charged with an automobile crime, I invite you to check our or AVVO profile, our web sites, and our hundreds of positive reviews from actual clients. Then, pick up the phone and call us toll free at 1-877-99-No-Tix (1-877-996-6849) for a no cost, no obligation phone consultation. This way, you can judge for yourself whether what we have to offer is right for you!
