great professional

Mr. Yeargan very professional and experienced lawyer. His advices and participation at the court helped me a lot. main thing he advised me to take a I drive safely course prior to the trial . so, this gave me +5 points , therefore now I do not have any points on my driving record. I would recommend M...r.Yeargan service to all my fellas.

Reckless reduced to improper

I hired attorney Yeargan for a reckless driving charged I received in May, and after 4 times of coming to court it was reduced to improper driving.

Recommended.

Mr Yeargan was extremely helpful in assessing my traffic-violation situation and offering the best and most practical advice. I would certainly ask his assistance again if the circumstances demanded it. Highly recommended.
