Excellent Result....Eccentric Lawyer

I randomly selected Mr Kehoe. I received a 61 in a 45 ticket and had a previous 4 points already. Any additional points would have resulted in significant fines. We spent several phone conversations discussing the case. I would not characterize Mr Kehoe as your typical lawyer though I can't argue wit...h the results. He is abrupt and did hang up on me once though I will admit that it was after about the 4th phone call and prior to retaining his services. I also had to call or email a 2x after my court date before I received a response as to the result. I can't argue with the results though. Zero point parking ticket...$175 fine. I would definitely consider him again for a similar matter. Only other comment is I am suspicious of the reviews on this site. They all seem to be written using the same style. No misspelling....proper punctuation.

Good results - communication & process needs clarity

First the good: my ticket was handled and pled down satisfactorily. However, the process from first contact to submission of materials and going to trial, along with the communication about each step, was pretty chaotic. Phone calls are answered as "Lawyer's office", with no identification of who y...ou called, which seems odd - there's no indication you've reached Mr. Kehoe's office. Initial emails in response to my emailed inquiries of their office were blocked by spam filters and thus caused some confusion as to whether I had been accepted as a client or not. Once the process was explained over the phone (you aren't a client until they receive your PayPal payment), it was a bit more understandable. Once I submitted my materials - payment, copy of my ticket and my drivers license, and a form authorizing access to my driving record - I heard nothing more until I emailed a month or two later to inquire about the status of my case. It would be better to receive an acknowledgement of receipt of your materials and payment. Toddy is friendly on the phone, but the office seems a bit overwhelmed with activity. My initial call to their office featured my getting to overhear Mr. Kehoe redress one of his staff for some issue concerning another case, complete with a loud TV playing in the background - it was all a bit surreal. I was never given any updates along the way - each one I received was initiated by me. In the end, the result of my speeding ticket was settled satisfactorily. If their process could be communicated a bit more clearly up front, and there was proactive communication about the progress of your case along the way, I'd give them 4 stars.

Not good

Mr. Kehoe did not do much other than lie to me the client. His work was not acceptable and I called him on it, which he did not like. He should be investigated for ethics violations.

He hung up on me

I called about a speeding ticket. For some reason Mr. Kehoe got agitated when I asked him about the chances of point reduction. He said he doesn't do guarantee. He then proceeded to say you can throw my email into the garage and go to someone who offers guarantee. He then hung up on me. I did no...t mention anything about guarantee in the entire conversation. In any case, I think he behaved unprofessionally. I would not recommend a lawyer who hangs up on his or her potential customers.

Go with anyone but Randall Kehoe

From the very first time I spoke with Randall he was very quick to rush the process along just to get me to pay for his "services". Made it seem as though my case was going to be quick and easy as he said hes been doing this for 20+ years. He didn't accomplish what we had spoke about which was to pl...ea down to have no points. I ended up paying him $225 for basically nothing. He got my ticket reduced from 4 pts to 2 pts and I still have a $300 fine. I would've been better off pleading guilty and taking all the points and fine that would still be less than I had to pay Randall and the courts. When I spoke to Randall he was extremely rude and defensive. His secretary was equally rude and frankly was absolutely clueless every time I called. In my opinion Randall handled my case about as poorly as was even possible, Nothing less than a full refund would even come close to making up for Randall's handling of my case.
