Review

I hired Brad to represent me with a DUI case. Throughout the entire process there was no communication with updates on his behalf. I had to reach out several times for updates. On the day of court I felt I was not prepared and feel he did not fully represent me. I was told to complete an assessment b...ut was clueless on how to access the assessment. Overall the communication was not clear and he did not fulfill my expectations.

Traffic citation

I was contacted by Mr Icard after being issued a traffic citation for failure to reduce speed resulting in an accident. The accident in question was very minor and I did not feel I deserved a ticket. Mr Icard appeared in court several times on my behalf to represent my case. Mr Icard was able to get ...my case totally dismissed. Mr Icard and his staff are truly the best law firm in Charlotte. I would definitely trust his Law firm for any legal matters in the future. Thank you Mr Icard!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Icard is one of the best criminal traffic lawyers in and around Charlotte Mecklenburg, N.C. When other lawyers may plead to a lesser charge, Mr. Icard will often times have the case dismissed outright. He is very sharp and knows the system well. I recommend him 100% of the time. He is an awesome lawyer, and he communicates well with his clients. He will often pull off amazing results, which sets him apart from the majority of lawyers doing criminal traffic cases. Definitely contact him if you have a traffic matter."
