Posted by anonymous | September 29, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Amazing Service! Got me out of a speeding violation!

I had a speeding violation in the Gaston County and i did not know how to deal with it since so many lawyers were reaching out to me. I endd up going with Lance and i am so glad that i did. Mia kept me updated the whole time the case was active. They got the violation reduced and i ended up getting n...o points on my license! I'd definitely recommend them if you got any traffic violation in North Carolina!

Divorced husband of jealous X-wife

My case was based on my X retaliation for DSS involvement initiated by me and my family and for good reasons. In retaliation she made up a false charge and used this to gain a restraining order and received emergency custody. Problem is there was no truth to her argument so instead of showing evidenc...e she would make herself look like a battered and abused wife to anyone she could. Lance helped to get the restraining order changed and the oral threats charge dismissed. Currently he is working on expungement of dismissed and dropped charges. His legal fees are moderate and he does a good job staying in control of the situation. I would hire him again in the future if I’m ever in a situation requiring criminal defense.

DUI

Highly recommend attorney Lance Williams! He was very honest from the beginning by telling us what to expect all throughout the process Abe passed no judgement. In the end our charge was greatly reduced. If not for his knowledge and determination we feel certain there would have been a very different... outcome. I hope we never need his services again, but would highly recommend Mr. Williams if you find your self needing a DUI attorney! This mama thanks you!

Speed violation

Attorney Lance Williams and his assistant Mia Alzagari were efficiently professional and courteous in the handling of our case. We were pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend their services.

Saved Me Stress and Money!

Minick law firm was extremely helpful in getting my ticket dismissed. They were quick to respond to my questions, and concerns. During a stressful situation a little kindness goes a long way, and they were all very kind, especially Mia. I will be referring to this firm if I know of anyone who has a ...need. Thank you so much!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
