Unreliable

At the beginning Mr. Kissling was a reliable source to go to when my mother and I would have traffic tickets and have court to go to. His number would be saved on my phone however recently he seem disinterested and short tempered. He agreed to show up to my court date and we agreed on pricing however... when it came time for him to deliver on our agreement, he tells me he didn't agreed to anything and now I'm stuck with a no show court date and extra fees. Thanks a whole lot. I'll be looking for a new lawyer.

Replied last February 15, 2017

I was sorry to hear that this person was unsatisfied. However, they failed to actually hire me before their court date. After they contacted me about their case, I offered to get it resolved if they paid my fee by the end of the week and they chose not to pay me. I even offered to waive my fee for not paying on time but they declined.

If I need another lawyer it will be them again

Matt was awesome. Not only was he friendly and personable but he explained to me the process I was about to go through with a realistic expectation. He doesn't give false hope for a dream come true outcome. I was able to talk to Matt whenever I called and he happily explained where we were at in th...e court process and what was to expect. Not only was I surprised about the final outcome of my ticket but I was very happy.

Very Satisfied

I would like to thank Mr. Kissling III and his staff for handling my case, keeping me informed, and answering any and all questions that I had. They also settled my case without me being present as they said they would. I am very satisfied with the outcome and would recommend them to anyone in Raleig...h, NC!

Speeding Ticket Resolution

Mr. Kissling's services were 100% as advertised. Initial consultation was free. Speeding ticket resolution was exactly as described by Mr. Kissling. Legal service was efficient and follow-up was timely. I was pleasantly impressed and would hire again.

Honest and professional

I hired this attorney for a speeding ticket in Raleigh. Although the case was dismissed because of extenuating circumstances, Mr Kissling and staff were professional and honest in my dealings with them and they promptly answered my inquiries and kept me updated throughout. I feel that I received good... value and I would rehire this attorney. The service was convenient and I was able to take care of business online and via phone.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.

Reprimand issued in NC, 2006

updated on 06/19/2014

Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Lawrence’s comment:

“This was for failure to comply with the requirements for direct mail advertisement. It had nothing to do with completing cases or dealing with clients.”
