Speeding ticket
I received a speeding ticket and change of address ticket last year. I contacted Jill Terry and she was quick to respond. Jill was on top of things and kept me updated every step of the way. In the end, the ticket was dismissed. I highly recommend Jill Terry and would go back to her again if needed.
