Social Security Claim

When you're filing for Social Security Disability its a grueling long process. I was very Fortunate to have Mingwan Collins representing me. My case went to hearing after 2 denials. Honestly these type environments are not easy for me. Ms. Collins was so compassionate and genuinely cared about my... Disability. She was very aware of my case notes and files. She was very knowledgeable and professional. It was obvious she had a good working relationship with the Social Security ALJ. I would highly recommend Ms. Collins for any of your attorney needs.

As promised!

I hired this attorney to represent me in a recent court case to get a traffic infraction reduced, and they did exactly as they promised. Not only was I satisfied with the outcome, I am very satisfied with the entire interaction as they were very personable and comforting. Thank you all again!

Awesome Service

Very professional and result driven law firm. I received a reckless driving ticket in Virginia. I live out of state. After getting the run around from several law firms I found Mark Hurt’s firm. His team were awesome. They treated me with respect and were in touch throughout the whole process. Th...ey made an extremely stressful situation go away. I walked away with 0 points and no misdemeanor on my record. Thank God for Mark Hurt. I would highly recommend his firm for your legal needs.

Excellent result

I was driving from Virginia on I 81 for on the way to Tennessee when I was pulled over and told I was speeding at above the limit for reckless driving in the Commonwealth. Once I understood the draconian nature of the charge and what it would entail, I reached out the Mark Hurt Law firm due to their... reputation, as evidenced by the reviews here on this site. In Virginia, reckless driving can add six points to one's license and be a criminal misdemeanor that at the very least remains on one's license, typically requires up to 20-25 hours of community service in that area, and could result in a four-figure fine and possible imprisonment. Insane as that may sound, it is the law. Thankfully, the Hurt firm was able to secure an agreement that reduced the points to three, the charge to a lesser one, the fine to three figures, and the community service to zero. I am grateful for not just for the result, but for the time spent by Rhonda and others at the firm to explain the charges and implications, explore options, and treat me with exceptional courtesy in spite of their busy schedule. I would definitely recommend this firm especially to anyone who finds themselves in a similar predicament.

Promise made. Promise kept.

When I learned that what I thought was a regular speeding ticket for being clocked at 86 mph in a 70 mph zone on a stretch of I-81 in VA less than 30 miles from TN this past September enroute from York PA to visit my sick aunt in Knoxville, was really a Class 1 misdemeanor reckless driving charge whi...ch carried with it a year in jail, a $2,500.00 fine, and six points on my license I was both shocked & outraged; shocked that the penalty was so severe in an obvious speed trap and outraged that the ticketing officer did not tell me what I had when asked; saying that I could pay off the ticket over the phone without having to appear in court; neither of which was true with this particular charge. But for my suspicion that the officer had not told me the truth I would never have looked up the code on my ticket once I reached my destination and discovered the serious nature of the charge. I was sick because I knew I had no money to hire an attorney; let alone pay that $2,500.00 fine. Fortunately, while looking up the specifics of what I was charged with, I came across the Law Offices of Mark T. Hurt and the rave reviews I read compelled me to contact his offices on the spot. I explained my dire financial situation and to my amazement his office agreed to take a $100.00 down payment on the spot with the balance of the flat $400.00 fee to be paid off between now & my court date of December 13, 2018 (a date which they had gotten moved from September after I had only paid half of my fee). Well, I did what they told me to do; taking an eight hour safe driving course (which I found to be extremely helpful) and sending in my driving record which fortunately for me had not had any kind of infractions for over twenty years. As a result, due to Mark's representation, the court agreed to reduce my reckless driving charge to a basic traffic infraction of 79/70. This reduced my financial penalty from $2,500.00 to a $175.00 fine plus $64.00 in court costs and three points on my license. In an additional stroke of good fortune, I happen to live in one of two states (PA) which does not count three point out of state traffic infractions against my driving record which means my insurance rates will not go up. So all total I am out of $715.00 from this whole experience when you factor in attorney's fees, court costs, fine, and safe driving course & while it is a financial hit I can ill afford, it is a whole, whole lot better than the $2,500.00 hit plus six points & having a permanent criminal record I would have received had I done what so many out of state drivers unwittingly do; allow their reckless driving charge to result in a conviction either by not hiring a super attorney like Mark T. Hurt & representing themselves, or not showing up at all and taking the full hit by foolishly ignoring the seriousness of the charge. Don't be an idiot and incur such needless damage to yourself by trying to handle this alone because trust me, you won't win and you sure as hell will lose big. The Law Offices of Mark T, Hurt will work with you and as my title here states, a Promise they make is a Promise they keep. Just be sure to hold up your end & do exactly what they tell you to do because if you do that, you will surely come out ahead. So thank you Mark and thank your wonderful staff. All of you are superb in what you do and are true to your word. Just please don't hold it against me if during my next trip south I choose to fly over Virginia rather than drive through it. Hell, those folks are so overzealous in trapping folks in speed traps that right now I'm even afraid of taking the train through that state for fear that they might stop it for speeding and ticket everyone on board. Hey, you never know. Anyway, thanks again Mark and God Bless. With Kindest Regards, Eric
