Posted by Cindy | February 06, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Brad got me a great outcome!

Getting a speeding ticket was super stressful and worrisome because the police officer refused to reduce even one mph the speed that he said he clocked me going, (he was a real sweetheart), not to mention the points on my driving record, the increased insurance costs, and the fine. I called Brad's ...office, he picked up the phone, and after a conversation, I made the decision to hire him above all of the other attorney solicitations that I had been receiving. I couldn't be happier with the outcome that he was able to get for me. He got the charge reduced to improper equipment with no points on my record, as well as getting the fine reduced by more than half. He responded to me very quickly with the results and provided me with the information that I needed to pay the reduced fine. I highly recommend Brad.

Highly Recommended

Brad and his team helped secure a great outcome again. I used Brad over 10 years ago for myself and then recently my teenage son was involved in a very minor traffic accident wherein he, of course, received a ticket. Brad was able to have this dismissed. Very good communication from his office dur...ing the process as well. Highly recommended.

Excellent and worry-free experience

I called the office of Brad Icard and left a message with my name and number. Within a couple hours I received a call back from Mr. Icard himself and he had already acquired the details of my case. He told me exactly what he would be able to do for me and what I should expect. After my court date (wh...ere he went and represented me while I was at work) he provided me with an email detailing the results of my case and how I needed to proceed. I'm very pleased with his work and if I'm ever in need of his services again I will not hesitate to call him.

Efficient and Effective

Efficient and Effective – that was the take-away from my experience working with Brad and Amy on my traffic violation case. They are a two-person army that have proven they can handle a variety of cases like a boss. Given that this was my first ticket I was understandably quite nervous and had no ide...a how to approach this, so like many others I reached out to the Icard Law Firm after reading their glowing reviews online and I was not disappointed. During my “case review / free consultation call” Amy patiently answered all of my queries and concerns and explained Brad’s process in a succinct and structured way; she was very honest and upfront about the possible outcomes and the likelihood of each outcome pertaining to my case. Brad personally represents all the clients who hire him; after I hired Brad to represent me I did not have to do anything besides share the details of my case and he handled the rest of it in a timely and professional manner, and he reached out to me with the final results of the case with clear action-items for me to execute next. This was a stress-free and satisfactory experience, thumbs-up to Brad and Amy for the exceptional work that they do! If you googled Brad and found this review, then go one step further and give him a call!

"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."
