Great choice for a Raleigh Lawyer!

Mr. Kissling did a fantastic job representing me on my speeding ticket. He was knowledgeable about the process, made me feel comfortable and delivered a great result. I find the court system very frustrating and burdensome and he was efficient and a good partner in working with me.

Would HIGHLY recommend.

I got my first high speeding ticket and was so stressed out. I couldn't get off work, so I decided to look up different lawyers. The hundreds of letters that flood the mailbox can be overwhelming, but I gave Kissling's office a call first. The person answering the phone was helpful and after calling ...some other firms, I decided to go with Kissling because (1) Their prices were competitive and (2) They gave me a MUCH better legal plan of action (one firm made it sound like it was inevitable that I would get a penalty) Just 1-2 days after my court case, I received an email update from Kissling stating that my miles had been dropped to just under 10 over and also a prayer for judgement had been suggested and accepted. Thus NO point penalties or changes in my insurance. The person who answered the phone had been very confident and told me that based on my record (1-2 tickets only all under 10 over) that they were confident they could get my 72 mph in a 55 mph reduced and everything happened as they said. Because of the ease of contact, professionalism and ofcourse awesome outcome, I highly recommend them

Speeding in Excess of 20 MPH over Limit

•Lawrence Kissling represented me in a traffic violation that could have ended in loosing my license or insurance going up dramatically. I was pleased in the way the Kissling law firm kept me informed as to the status of my case. They postponed the case until they were comfortable in receiving a favo...rable outcome. I was not expecting to get my ticket reduced to where it would not cost me any insurance points and was pleasantly surprised when the case was over . Kissling Law firm was professional and gave my case the attention I was hoping for in a law firm.

Highly recommend!

Attorney Kissling was very professional and courteous. I was completely comfortable leaving my speeding ticket with him to handle for me. My ticket was greatly reduced. I highly recommend Attorney Kissling if you want to be able to hand off your traffic violation and not worry!

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.”
