He doesn’t go to the court

He was fighting a ticket for me, he only was changing the date after 5 years changing it he didn’t go to the court and then they call me from his office telling me he got a deal for me I have to pay the ticket and I’m not getting points in my driver license. I paid the ticket online and also I got th...e points. Stay away from this swindler.

Did not show up - Did not want to provide refund

Hired him to fight traffic tickets. Beat the first ticket, lost two (it happens), then didn't SHOW UP for two others. I had a suspension on my license and was given a run-around to get a refund. Dealt with very rude staff and had to prove via bank statements that I paid for all five of those tickets.... Was then told they just don't give refunds. When I said I'd report the misconduct to the bar, I was told I'd get a refund in the mail. I waited for over a month for a refund check, then had to go in person to the DMV to "catch him" and get a check. He had me waiting around with my 1 year old child for over two hours to then hand me a check and walk off rudely. I would never recommend this lawyer to anyone.

DO NOT GO TO THIS LAWYER

If I could give I would give zero stars. In 2018 I got a speeding Ticket- I contacted the office of course they charged $225. I had 3 court dates- the lawyer showed up on none of them. The assistant that works there doesn't know the difference between number 1 and number 7 - straighten up girl.... They lied that they called me and informed me about the court date. They are liars, irresponsible, they do not care about their customers. So stay away from them

WORST LAWYER EVER!

If i could give this 0 Stars I would. I hired him at the DMV 3 years ago from a referral from a friend. He wouldn't even give me his phone number neither would his office. I could barely get in contact with him, when I did approach him about my case at the DMV he never gave me the time of day, he res...ponded with attitude and told me to call his office. I paid $375 and he absolutely did nothing for my ticket. Please avoid this man at all costs.

I am so sorry that you feel this. But you never told us the results of your representation. Did I do what you paid me for or is your low Avvo grade based on my not giving you my cellphone number?

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've worked in the same legal practice area as David Okoronkwo for 14 years. I fight traffic tickets/moving violations every single day as an attorney. However, if I ever got a ticket myself, I wouldn't be silly enough to defend myself-- I would hire David Okoronkwo to defend me. Sometimes, some clients don't like Mr. Okoronkwo's attitude or personality, but that is what makes him such a great traffic attorney-- he goes like a tiger for the jugular of police officers."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
