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

Ambulance chaser

After paying $650 he only gave me tips (that I only knew from a simple google search) on how to look good for a reckless driving court summons. After being 20 minutes late to our appointment (which was 15 minutes before I was supposed to be in the court room) he then pulled me outside to go over some... details and criticized me for not doing everything he said to a T (I hired him 5 days before my case) and then after that unpleasant conversation he then disappeared for another 15 while I was waiting to be called up to the judge. After asking the trooper very shallow questions he offered on my behalf community service and all the judge gave me was a reduction in the fine from a 35 over to an 18 over for completing a verified driver improvement course (which I was on track to do before I even spoke with him). When the judge wanted me to come back with the certificate at a later date and we left he said he has a fee for coming back again but it isn’t much ONLY an extra $200 after the $650 I already paid. The initial ticket would have been $320 even without doing the course. Waste of time, anxiousness, and money. 1/10 would not recommend hiring him.

I thank you for providing a review of my firm. I am sorry that we did not meet your expectations. . You had a case which was reckless driving 35 miles over the speed limit, which could have resulted in jail time and a suspension of your license as well as a fine of up to 2500. Instead the Judge reduced your offense to a simple speeding charge which is no longer criminal in nature and required that you come back to show your driver improvement certificate. If I was critical of you not doing everything I requested, it is because we usually only have one opportunity to get everything before the Judge, and if we are missing something, it can impact your case. When we do have to return to court, we do charge an appearance fee to compensate for that time. I wish you the best of luck.
