Jeffrey Ziff

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.

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 .

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.

I had 2 tickets, 1 more speeding and 1 for a moving violation. Both tickets were about 1 1/2 years apart and both were found guilty with points. Absolute waste of a law degree and absolute waste of my heard earned money. Not even a call from his office, I had to dig through emails until I found an em...ail from his office in my spam box informing me of the judgement.

Seems like his lawyer is out fishing or something instead of going to the courts to beat my case. I used him twice and did not hear from him or anyone in his office at all except an email both times saying I was found guilty. At least beat 1 of the 2 tickets. This lawyer is a complete joke. SAVE YOUR... MONEY DO NOT WASTE IT WITH ZIFF'S OFFICE. YOU WILL SPEND MONEY, NEVER HEAR FROM ANYONE IN HIS OFFICE AND THEN SPEND MORE MORE ONCE YOU ARE FOUND GUILTY AND YOU WILL BE BECAUSE THIS LAWYER ONLY CARES ABOUT GETTING PAID.
