Worst real accurate experience

I had a reckless driving ticket and I got the necessary calibration test and 4 hour class done, as recommended by the lawyer. The calibration test proved in my favor. In context, my driving and criminal record was clean, so was my first offense after 14 years+ of driving. Court date comes, he talks t...o the prosecutor before my hearing, and comes to me with an offer of dropping the reckless portion but keeps the speed still at 89 in a 55. I wasn't thrilled about the offer, so I began to ask questions because I didn't feel comfortable with the offer. It shocked me how bothered and annoyed he sounded, just because I didn't take the offer right away, and remember this is my first "misdemeanor" so I'm a little shaken up during this whole process. He aggressively kept reemphasizing how this was a solid deal. After his "pressure," I took the first offer because I just wanted to avoid any future confrontation with him, if I decided to keep this case going. I was also super disappointed how unempathetic he was. Conclusion is, what's the point in hiring a lawyer if you can get the same outcome by going in yourself? My circumstances of the ticket + my background was highly favorable. After talking with friends, families and colleagues down the road, he did nothing but take my fee. He didn't even want to try for a better deal or result, even if that meant to continue the case. I would have gladly paid more, for better results but we never he got around to talk about that. I will never use him or Simms Showers LLP again.

  • 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.
