efficient! Do not hesitate to hire Ryan for your speeding offense. $99 well spent!

I contacted Ryan after receiving a speeding ticket in Mecklenburg County, NC. I was traveling 46mph in a 30mph zone. After our telephone conversation where Ryan was extremely knowledgeable in this area, Ryan said that he would take care of everything and would be able to get the offense reduced to an... improper equipment that would cost around $270. I would not need to attend court, so it would not disrupt my own schedule and this offense would not carry any driver’s license points, insurance points or premium surcharge. He carried out this service all for only $99. He was able to take payment over the telephone from my credit card immediately after I agreed to use his services. He gave me clear instructions on what documents I needed to email to him when he sent over the payment confirmation and after I had sent him these he gave me confirmation that he was all set for court. 2 months later when my court day arrived, everything happened exactly as Ryan had explained. I only had a fine for $263 and I have no license or insurance points! A PERFECT JOB with no hassle at all. Do not hesitate in contacting Ryan for speeding ticket offenses - a true professional providing an outstanding efficient service!

Great Experience!

Ryan is very knowledgeable and experienced in his field, but what makes him stand out even more, is his warm and nice personality. This was my first traffic violation and I was really stressed out, but with Ryan’s professional help I felt, as that I could not be in better hands. He was very supportiv...e and addressed all my concerns immediately and in a professional manner. I was very pleased to see how smoothly he handled my case and the results were amazing. I will be happy to refer any of my family and friends to Ryan’s law firm.

I always call this dude.

Recently he took care of 4 cases for me. DWI, 2 speeding tickets and giving a cop a fake ID. Anybody who has gotten a DWI in NC know it's not a joke. By some mirical I got the 1/12 judges in Charlotte who will grant a prayer for judgement. While on stand he stood confident and knowledgable. I could a...lmost see him knowing what the judge was going to say and already responding. He took care of all 4 of these cases at the same time. Not only did he get me off the hook for a DWI but also got the fake ID warrant for my arrest striked and off my record. He ever got rid of one of the speeding tickets and made it so none of the points for the other speeding ticket affect my license or insurance. By the end of the day I had to pay court fees. I should have lost my license for 6 months. I was literally in shock asking him did that really happen? Anyways this dude is a cool dude professionally and personally. I just called him to take care of another couple cases for me. I highly recommend him for any concerns. You can trust him to give you the best you can get.

Very Professional

Ryan Watson is the attorney for you. I was unfortunately accused of making a wrong turn on a road that had just open, it was swarming with Charlotte's Finest. I didn't even know what lane I should have been in, when I figured it out, I was in the intersection as the light turned. There was one openin...g in the center lane so I dropped in to that spot and a cop was right there. Thanks to Ryan's expert advice and legal representation, my driving record was saved and the case was dismissed. I didn't even have to go to court. Alison was very friendly, courteous and informative. She took very good notes when I explained what had happen and Ryan was able to use that to get my case dismissed. Thanks a million Ryan and Alison!

Ryan Watson is the attorney you need. I was unfortunately accused of running a stop sign and was facing over $300 worth of citations. Thanks to Ryan's expert advice and legal representation, my driving record was saved and the case was dismissed. I didn't even have to go to court. Thanks again Ryan!
