Lawrence J. Kissling III

I hired this lawyer to take care of a case that I had which was driving with a suspended license. When I first hired him I tried to explain everything so he’ll have what he needed, but he kept interrupting me and was very short answered and seemed irritable. After a few continuances, I had court ag...ain and my number changed and I emailed the firm to let them know my new number of contact, and that exact day the paralegal replied with “send your license @5pm today or report to court to wait for Mr.Kissling @7:45 or you’ll have to pay the ticket.” I don’t stay in town so it wasn’t easy, and I had to make it happen so I went through a lot to make sure I could be in court on Monday. I called 5 times and no answer, I called a 6th time(8:40 range) and I was told “I have a hearing @9 wait for me @10-10:30” but by then I was almost next in line to speak with the DA. So I got to the counter and asked her for a continuance once she asked me about my license and I told her like I told my lawyer that there were other cases that needed to be handled before that one which is why it’s taken so long. So she gave me a continuance and I realized I did what I paid the lawyer to do. And I went through hell and back so that I could be in Raleigh for court. And he and his paralegal said that he could no longer continue my case which meant that he would drop my case as he said or I’ll have to pay the ticket. Well I hired a lawyer so that I wouldn’t have to pay the ticket to be able to get my license back. That really upset me and really disappointed me. I didn’t get any help at all. And though my number changed, my email didn’t, and I still had to reach out to them. I feel like I wasted my money paying a lawyer and it didn’t benefit me in any way. It really did ruin my entire week cause I depended and trusted this firm.

I hired Mr. Kissling for a speeding ticket I got while taking my wife to work one Sunday morning. I talked this over with Mr.Kissling and said he could take care of it,and I wouldn’t have to appear in court. He got it reduced for me and I didn’t get any points. He took care of it just like he said he... would. And his fees and the court costs where reasonable just like his secretary inform me. I strongly encourage you to talk to him before going to court. I am very pleased with the outcome.
