help with traffic ticket

Even though I did not hear much during the process, he helped me greatly in my traffic ticket situation.

What I am most proud of in this review is the fact that I was given a very high rating on trustworthiness and knowledge, Also I understand and appreciate what this client means when he says that he did not hear much during the process. When you retain our firm for a traffic ticket a large part of the benefit of the service is convenience and as I put it "hassle free representation." There are many stages to defending a traffic ticket - negotiating, discovery, motions, hearings, and if required trial. It is our job to advocate for our clients with as little annoyance to them as possible. Only in rare instances do I need to contact a client for something, What is important is that once a case wraps up and there is a fine to be paid that the instructions be quickly and accurately relayed to the client. Failure to pay a fine will lead to a license suspension and the court can also issue a warrant. Our office advises our clients within 24 hours of a case closure of fine payment instructions. Further, we do this by all means possible - via e-mail, regular mail, and phone. I have never had an experience that a court called and advised that a client failed to pay a fine or a client called expressing that they found out the hard way that they should have paid a fine.

Michael is a great lawyer

I was wrongfully charged in an assault where I was facing losing my state license and career that I had worked so hard to build for over 20 years. Michael was my 3rd lawyer - the other 2 both told me to plea guilty because it was on film. Michael's take on it was different, he said that the tape help...ed my case, and in his words wouldn't "dream of not letting the district attorney bury it." I had my doubts but you know what, he was right! Michael used that tape to show the judge what liars the witnesses were. But was I found not guilty? Actually not. That's because I didn't have to be - in the middle of the trial the district attorney dismissed the charges! I have my job, career, and life back thanks to him.
