Posted by anonymous | August 27, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Horrible

Hired her, she pushed the tickets for a long time. She just pleaded guilty for me even though I had a medical emergency. I now have my liscence suspended without a fight being put up.

The absolute worst service!!!

I booked the lawyer for a speeding ticket, and she almost forgot to show up in court. I called her office, and got no proper answers, they just referred me to one secretary after another, i felt like I was dealing with a public bureaucracy.

TERRIBLE AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!

If i can put 0 stars i would have. her is terrible dont even think about going to her. i had given her 2 tickets to do for me. the first ticket she pushed it back for like 2 yrs and still wasn't able to remove the points and i had to pay almost $200 not including her crazy fee. than the 2nd ticket wa...s as speeding ticket. they told me dont worry you will def get it resolved this is terri's neighborhood and u have no speeding record etc. she pushes the ticket back for over 3 years then when it finally comes to the last session, she still left me with 6 POINTS on my record from this 1 ticket AND i still had to pay!!!! so what the hell is the point of taking a fee. and on top of all that i called her office like 10 times to speak to her about it and SHE PURPOSELY DOESN'T WANNA ANSWER MY CALLS OR CALL ME BACK because she knows shes a terrible lawyer and wasn't able to resolve the problem. SO unprofessional and terrible. stay away!!!!

Dont waste your money. Find someone else

Don't waste your time. I have been working with them since last summer. This office is a revolving door of trying to get paying people in the DMV office in Coney Island. They know all these cops for yearrrrrrssss. They have a good game going on with the cops themselves. It is very clear at this poin...t. They handle 83274873 of cases she doesn't even pay attention to why you even hired them in the first place. May buy you a year to delay (because this is what they do with the cops) but don't take the time to even ask what happened and be clear on what they will be sharing to the judge.

So to be clear: A favorable alliance with the Police Officers whose job it is to help convict someone , is a negative thing??? It may be interesting to note that it is the Police Officers job to make out the prima face case . I am sure you are clueless as to what that means judging by your ramblings above. To break it down for you, he has to make the cae! The job of an attorney is to destroy it. This is done by cross examination. Not he said / he said. We don't "share" with a judge. We eviscerated the officer's case.

Unprofessional, rude and worst traffic attorney I have ever hired

I had a 5 points improper cell phone use ticket that I gave it to her. I paid her $200 and top, she took $40 bonds twice and gave me excuse that she is waiting for favorable judge. Guess what? 1. She lost the trial and I'm convicted with 5 points 2. Her office didn't even bother to call me and let ...me know that she lost the trial and I have to pay fine ( I waited 13 days after trial day) 3, Her assistants are super rude Hire her at your own risk. Don't take my words and just find out on your own how rude/unprofessional this law firm is

It is quite easy to write a review anonymously. I wonder why the poster did not include a name? Perhaps because then the statements would have to be verified!
