Never would recommend this office

Even thoug got recommend from friend who also had ticket. It was rescheduled few times, all together it took almost three years. After three years got GUILTY and suspension. I'm emigrant don't know nothing about new license probation. As a lawyer they should at list explained to me that if the case e...nd with guilty result my privileges will be taken away. On that case I would finished this ticket without rescheduling three times. Two years ago a was not maried and didn't have a baby. 2016 if I had plaid GUILTY I would pay same fine and suspension would hurt only me, today 2018 its effects my family. I never saw the lawyer, only girls who wrote receipt. Friend who did recommended this attorney also got GUILTY for his ticket.

Arrogant staff

Although this lawyer has been highly recommended to me by my friend I would say that I never encountered with such an arrogant and unprofessional staff. Unacceptable behavior of his secretary turned me away from the office. Have to find another lawyer. They have to teach their staff how to handle the... client.

TERRIBLE

TERRIBLE excuse for a lawyer and law office. In my life, I've only gotten 1 ticket (this one). I'm an A+ student and never been in trouble, besides this 1 ticket. He never asked me for my side of the story & never presented it to the judge (like I've heard he does for other cases). He pushed my case ...off for 5+ years, just to have me found guilty, my license suspended, over $1000 in DMV fees (not counting his fees), and my insurance skyrocketed. HE AND HIS OFFICE DID NOT EVEN TELL ME MY LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED! I FOUND OUT BY ACCIDENT WHEN I WENT TO GO PAY MY TICKET FEE! THEY DID NOT EXPLAIN ASSESSMENT FEES, THE POINTS SYSTEM, A POTENTIAL APPEAL, OR PENALTIES. THEY SIMPLY SENT AN EMAIL, AND WHEN I CALLED WITH QUESTIONS, TOLD ME TO LOOK THEM ON THE INTERNET. Now, I'm way more screwed then if I were to have pled guilty to begin with in 2012. I bet if I didn't pay him up front for my case in 2012, he would have had more incentive to beat it in 2017.

Arrogant attorney and unprofessional staff

I was highly recommended to hire Mr Ziff to help me with traffic tickets. I called the office and spoke with staff and received forms I had to sign. One of the forms required me to sign that I authorize Mr Ziff to plead guilty and I called back and spoke with staff who kept me waiting and kept transf...erring me from one rude girl to another and than I was told that that's a general form everyone signs but it is of course doesn't apply to my case. When I questioned the need to sign it they said that maybe I have to hire different attorney. I explained that if form doesn't apply to me that there isn't a need to sign it. They transferred me to talk to one of the attorneys and he explained to me that that's general form which everyone signs and doesn't apply to me and we finished the conversation nicely. When I called right after that to ask one of the staff girls if they received credit card authorization to start the process they transferred me to attorney again who said " you had enough double checking" and " I won't take your case and dismissed me before even starting. I find it very unprofessional .

bonds

Firstly I was told by the lawyer that my seat belt ticket had points involved,therefore I highered him. They charged me 200 for a ticket that has no points and would only cost me about 100! They call me to post bond and one secretary tells me to pay for two bonds,the second tells me to pay for on...ly one. I was very confused and instead of clarifying it for me they were rude and hung up the phone. When I called back they said I had to come down to talk and would not respond to anything over the phone. When I came down to get an apology of some sort they refused. I had no choice but to ask for a refund, they gave me a hard time about it.

Replied last April 12, 2016

This former client failed to mention that we won three cases for him already. We needed a bond to continue to fight his remaining case and he became belligerent with our secretaries. We held a meeting to try to work it out, but he could not be reasoned with. Therefore, we told him we could not help him and refunded his entire fee even though we had done work on the case. We stand by our work.
