Posted by Glen | May 09, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Speeding Ticket / Suspended License

Ms. Bergman was recommended to me by a friend. I hired her over the phone to help me out with a Speeding Ticket I had gotten on I 81 that also revealed that my license was suspended (It's a long story), which, of course, compounded the situation with a second ticket and a lost license. Ms. Berg...man got both the tickets dismissed with limited fanfare and I soon had my license reinstated. I recommend that you look no further for a lawyer to help you out in this type of situation. She is also a pleasure to work with. And -- please drive safely.

Misdemeanor case

My experience with Sophie was amazing. She was very personal, approachable, and above all has many connections in the local court system and certainly is well versed in how things work around here. Garet experience working with her. Communication was very professional and she will work with you right... till the end.

Phenomenal

Sophie was recommended to our family by another family friend. Having dealt with several lawyers in the past for several different things we went into it thinking all lawyers are the same. Sophie proved this thought to be far from true. She was very down to earth, understanding and reasonable with ev...erything we had to discuss. She was able to provide us with amazing support, information and reliability. After 10 long months and our case being dismissed we expected to then receive an outrageous bill. Again this was not the case. She was extremely reasonable given the circumstances. She didn’t just send us the bill with a due date but instead wished us the best of luck with the future, provided the bill, and let us know she was there for any questions or concerns. I can say that if we are ever in a situation where we may need a lawyer again my very first call would be Sophie.

Faith

Sophie did a great job getting all of my charges dropped. From the first day I met with her she kept a positive spirit and convinced me that the case would get dismissed. Here we are March 23 and I found out all my charges were dropped on the 7th of March. I definitely recommend anyone in need of a a...ttorney in the Binghamton area to contact her.
