Just What I Was Looking For

Got a speeding ticket in my car, 53 in a 35. My fault for not paying attention. The CLT police officer was polite and respectful. I have a commercial driving license (CDL) so speeding tickets have a big effect on my license. I am a web researcher when it comes to getting the best deal. I ran across ...SeiferFlatow and read all the reviews. Like what I read so I sent an email after dinner at home and got a call 2 hours later from Ryan Ames. I was impressed from the start. Ryan explained my options from worst case to best case hoping of course for best case - so he was honest and did not mislead me into thinking I would get the best case scenario. He told me the fee for the representation in court to which I agreed and paid right over the phone with my credit card. The next day I emailed my ticket to Brandi DeHart, Legal Assistant. Adam Seifer handled my case and appeared in court on my behalf. He was able to reduce the fine and the ticket so it did not impact my CDL driving record. I was very pleased with the outcome and the manner in which my citation was handled. Professional, personable, honest, and got results.

82 in a 60. I thought I was loosing my license

Wow. This firm was very interesting to deal with. I never actually talked to the lawyer representing me but all information and questions were handled by the same persona, Jessica, who is so very professional and courteous and answered all my questions putting my mind at ease. I had a speeding ticket..., 82 in a 60, that I was for sure going to impact my license in some way and defiantly my insurance. The SeiferFlatow law office got the ticket reduced with no points and no impact to my insurance and at a price that was affordable. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. Quick, easy, affordable, professional, and very courteous.

KEPT MY LICENSE FROM BEING SUSPENDED!

The folks at SeiferFlatow are extremely good at what they do. I had a high speeding ticket in NC, where the speeding laws and punishments are the most punitive in the entire country, which is aided by them setting pretty low speed limits on major freeways even out in the countryside. Where most sta...tes have speed limits of 70 or 75 on an interstate, you will find many places in NC where it is as low as 60 even when nowhere near a major city, and this can catch you by surprise. Speeding in excess of 15 mph or just driving at a speed beyond a certain threshold carries stiff fines and a license suspension, which can carry over to your home state if you are from out of state, like I was. I worked with Ryan and Adam both at SeiferFlatow, who worked successfully on my behalf for a reduction in the charge which saved my license from being suspended. Jessica in their office kept me informed of everything during the whole process, and when I had questions, both Ryan and Adam did not hesitate to call me to talk through everything. They gave terrific personal service and cared about my outcome. By signing a waiver for them to represent me, I also did not have to make any trips in person back to the multiple court dates due to various continuances. I am grateful to them for such a terrific job, patiently working through the process and staying on top of the case as needed in order to ensure I got the best possible outcome. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation like I did - CALL THEM! They will be able to help you.
