Gets the job done

I was clocked going 15 over and Jennifer got it reduced to a improper equipment which meant no insurance points!!! I was a little hesitant because of not hearing from them before the court date (just wanted to make sure someone would show up to court for me) but after sending them an email, I was rea...ssured by Gaby that everything would be taken care of. I appreciate the hard work of this team and would definitely recommend their services.

Traffic Ticket

Jennifer did a great job of representing me in court. Her office staff was very helpful to ensure all necessary paperwork was completed properly.

Ms. Allen and staff - Very Professional, First-Rate

Ms. Allen represented me in court in March 2016 for a speeding ticket I received in Chapel Hill earlier that year. She and her staff were professional and first-rate for the following reasons; First, I called a few lawyers in the Chapel Hill area. One of Ms. Allen's staff called me back even... though it was in the early evening on a Friday. She listened carefully to my specific situation, then gave me the basics of how the firm handles a case like mine. The information was clear and concise. There was no pressure in her presentation. She answered all my question on how I was to complete the forms to hire Ms. Allen and any documentation I needed to send to her. Second, once I hired Ms. Allen to represent me, her staff kept me updated on when the case would be heard, even when it was rescheduled for another date. Lastly, once Ms. Allen presented my case to the court and received the outcome (which was most favorable ), a staff member promptly contacted me of the decision. This was the outcome; "Ms. Allen appeared in court for you in Orange County and was able to get your citation dismissed so that it will not appear on your driving record or cause you to get any license or insurance points." The case was resolved on a Friday and her staff got me the results that weekend ( a Sunday evening). I was impressed by the whole process, start to finish. Thank you for the opportunity to write this review.

Very pleased!

Upon receiving my first speeding ticket, I hired Jennifer Allen to represent me in court. I was clocked speeding in a supposed 25 mph zone, although I knew the officer was sitting in a 35 mph zone, and I was upset by this injustice. Thinking this was merely a matter of my word against his, I was ad...vised to just let a lawyer handle my case and accept any repercussions I would be given. However, Jennifer Allen was able to prove that the officer wrote the wrong speed zone on my ticket, and my citation was dismissed. I'm so impressed and pleased!

Speeding citation reduced to improper equipment

I just received the first speeding ticket of my life (was clocked on radar going +20 over posted limit). My wife had just recently used our auto insurance policy's one and only prayer-for-judgement for her own separate citation, which, according to everything that I had read, meant that I could not u...se it as a defense for my ticket. I put my case in the hands of Jennifer and her team and was plesantly surprised. I just found out that my citation was was reduced to improper equipment, meaning that I will not have any points on my driving record or insurance. Jennifer and her team handled the entire process seemlessly. The only thing I had to do was fill out a short form on her website.....that's it! No court appreance or meetings....did not interfere with my busy schedule at all. I would highly recommend using Jennifer and her team.
