Straightforward & Honest

I received a traffic citation for "Fail pay full time & attention." She explained probation before judgement was not available for me and if other attorneys promise things I will most likely be dissappointed. I thanked Ms. Sprissler for being straightforward. In addition, I tried to contact three o...ther attorneys who never responded.

Serious traffic violation

Having been charged with multiple traffic violations including a very serious charge, I contacted Kelly for help based on her extensive experience in this area. After discussing the facts of my situation, she explained the process moving forward with the judge, prosecutor and officer, and evidence t...hat could be helpful. She was, very knowledgeable, professional and made no promises but discussed strategy that could provide best outcomes. I did not have to go to court and Kelly was able to get the serious charge reduced and the other dropped. I was very happy with her services and highly recommend her!!!

Resolved Speeding Ticket

Ms. Sprissler took very good care of my case and was able to get the judge to reduce the speed, points and fine I would have otherwise had to pay. After our meeting, she was able to quickly grasp the facts of the case, develop a clear strategy that I could understand and agree with, and then proce...eded to work through through the prosecutor and ultimately convince the judge to the lower speed, points and fine. Her arguments to the judge were were very compelling and exactly what she said she would do. She did not make promises that she could not keep and I always knew how good or bad the outcome could be. Highly recommend her.

Extremely Helpful

Kelly was extremely helpful. I had a traffic violation and it was my first time ever going to court. She explained everything to me and guided me through the process. She was there every step of the way. She was kind and personable. I am glad I hired her to represent me.
