Lawyer review

Got my reckless driving charge reduced to improper driving. It was definitely worth hiring a lawyer however it was raining and heavy traffic I was hoping it would get dropped altogether but I’m still satisfied with the outcome.

He’s a good lawyer wouldn’t choose him again though.

I had a speeding ticket for going 105 in a 60. It was my first speeding ticket ever and Mr. Greenside was 100% honest with me that I might face a hefty fine and/or jail for reckless driving. But he told me what steps to take prior to showing up in court. I paid him in full weeks before the court date.... And my actual day of court he never showed up, I sat in the court room for hours and watched the judge lessen almost everyone’s reckless driving tickets to speeding fines, including a guy going 85 in a 30mph. They judge extended my court date to another day and when I called Mr. Greenside to figure why I was left hanging he apologized and said he was in court with another client and it took longer than expected. My next court date he did show up and my outcome was a $300 fine and all my jail time was suspended except for one hour so ultimately I sat in a holding cell for one hour and was released. It was a better outcome than I hoped but I still wonder what would have happened if he had showed up to the prior court date what would have happened. Also none of my money was refunded after he missed my first court date.

Anthony, Thanks for reviewing my office. I apologize that we were not able to make it in time when your case first came up for trial. Unfortunately, we sometimes are involved in cases prior to yours that may extend beyond our estimate, and that causes us to be late for your trial. However, when that does occur we are in constant communication with the court updating them about our estimated arrival. 105/60 is a very serious charge, and I can assure you that your outcome was an exceptionally good one. The Judge only gave you a 300 fine and did not suspend your license and did not give you any jail time; other than 1 hour.

Traffic court

Mr. Greenside didn't contact me as promised and I had to reach out to him for information before my court date. He was also late coming to court and didn't bring my information. I was so glad that I came prepared with the original copies. However, he did a good job presenting himself to the judge an...d my case was dismissed.

Hi Thanks for reviewing my office. Sounds like we missed the mark a little on your case. Sorry we were a few minutes late, however we always keep the court informed if we are going to be a late, because of prior commitments. I am glad that we were able to get your charge dismissed.

My experience

Attorney was decent. Made no attempt to reach out to me till day of court. I was dealing with a family emergency so he did the best he could I suppose. He did get the ticket reduced. Overall there needed to be more communication.

Lawyer did not communicate with me very well. This went thru prepad legal and i felt like I didn't get very good service.
