Exceptional Personal Service

I got an ticket for a illegal left turn, and Adam got it dismissed three weeks before my court date. This isn't the first thing they've handled for me, and they'd be the only firm I'd consider for any infraction. Adam is straightforward and professional with a lot of experience.

Excellent Service and Very Professional. Would Definitely Recommend!

Mr. Seifer represented me for a speeding ticket. I contacted his firm (first time using an attorney in Charlotte) only 2 days prior to my court date, and the entire staff treated me as if I were a VIP client, from start to finish. Great result! 21 mph over reduced to improper equipment which means... no DMV points or insurance points will be assessed to my driving record. They will keep you informed and are very responsive to any questions you may have along the way. I would definitely recommend Mr. Seifer and his firm to anyone in need of assistance with a traffic citation.

Couldn't have asked for better

Handled my court dates for me, which included having multiple dates pushed back, organized everything I needed to do to get my charges dropped, and settled everything nicely. Worth every penny.

GREAT CHARLOTTE DWI ATTORNEY!!

Mr. Seifer represented me for what I though were hopeless DWI and open container charges. He identified a problem with the procedures at the county jail and filed a successful motion to have the DWI charge dismissed. The open container violation was resolved via a Prayer For Judgment Continued, res...ulting in only court costs. I'm extremely pleased with Mr. Seifer's performance. It exceeded my expectations significantly. I sincerely hope I will not need his services in the future, but if I do he will be my lawyer of choice. If any acquaintance requires legal assistance, I will recommend him without reservation.

Excellent and prompt service by Adam Seifer

Mr. Seifer handled a speeding ticket for me within 2 days and prior to my official court day! Adam was very helpful and prompt and got me a reduction in miles over. I was very impressed with his great and fast work and I did have 2 lawyers prior to him but none of them were as thorough as Adam Seifer.... Would definitely recommend this law firm to others! Great service and results.
