Reckless Driving

Had a 87 mph in a 60 reckless driving case, dropped to a simple speeding ticket of 79 in a 70. Mr. Columbus was easy to work with and answered all the questions I had. Also returned my calls and emails in a timely manner.

Reckless Driving

Mr. Columbus was very helpful with a reckless driving charge. He helped us understand the court proceedings related to the charge and provided necessary recommendations to ensure the best outcome. Everything worked out well for us and we would definitely recommend Mr. Columbus to others.

Excellent Traffic Lawyer!!

Rocco Columbus was a great traffic lawyer and really helped me out with my reckless driving ticket. I was caught going 95/60 and he was able to drop this down to a speeding ticket (essentially 79/60). Granted I had to do some work beforehand (driver improvement course, 20 hours of community service...) he was instrumental in helping me. He was always available by phone, and if he didn't pick up would always return my call. He has a great demeanor and helped me feel calm throughout the whole experience. I highly recommend him!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
