Sanice Arrington

During consultation Brad was completely candid about what he could do and what I could expect from him representing my daughter on a speeding ticket. I'm a truck driver and I'm on the road quite a bit so it was convenient to have him represent her in court without her or myself having to appear. That... one call save a lot of time, and future expenses.

Well Informed and Professional

I am so glad I contacted and hired Brad Champion to defend my traffic citation. I was kept abreast the entire time of my case and all my questions were answered in a timely manner. Brad made it very easy for me to remain stress free during the entire process and I would recommend him to anyone who as...ks!

Traffic Defense

Brad handled an excessive speeding ticket for my 18 year old son (85 in a 60). The ticket was reduced to a prayer for judgment with no points added. While he was handling that ticket, my son was involved in a rear end collision, and Brad handled that incident for no additional cost and got that cha...rged dismissed. Brad offered advice and kept in communication during the proceedings. I highly recommend his services.

What a Lifesaver!

I had traffic charges relating to a previous DWI that looked grim at best and faced the possibility of losing my license which I desperately needed for work and family. Brad came through in almost magical ways. His communication was always open, honest and timely. Brad had a substantial knowledge of ...the laws which was very comforting to me (I've had lawyers in the past that would look up laws on their iPhones while I was siting with them), but most importantly, I genuinely believed he was on my side and fighting for me - not just getting paid. I would highly recommend Brad to anyone for a traffic related charge. I'm driving today because of the goodness of God and the wisdom of Brad.

Great Representation

Brad has represented me on two traffic matters, and has delivered a resolution that was better than expected both times. I highly recommend him, his office was polite and prompt, communication was good, and the process was just made easy.
