I Do Not Recommend

We hired George to help my teenage daughter with a traffic violation. My daughter was innocent. She had a clean driving record. There were two other teenage girls in our neighborhood who drove the same make and color of car and looked very similar to my daughter. I saw these girls speed through our n...eighborhood man times. He never strategized with us about how to present the case. In my opinion he was more concerned about making friends with the police officers and the judge and putting another case behind him. We ended up paying over a thousand dollars and my daughter got 5 points on her license. If this is the kind of outcome You want, go ahead and hire this guy.
