Excellent service

My lawyer got my ticket reduced to improper equipment to keep any points from being added to my insurance and license

Posted by anonymous | July 17, 2017

Great Expierence

Met with Mr.Hoethke at his office and gave him my information on my speeding ticket. He was very nice and told me not to stress or worry that they would handle everything for me to avoid those rate increases and points on my license. 22 miles over the speed limit was sure to get me in trouble ! I saw him that one time and that was it. He told me when I should receive an email with my results. He got everything cleared for me no issue and I just have to pay my court costs and that is it !!

Traffic Violation ticket success

I received a speeding violation recently for 49 in a 35 and soon after received several solicitations for legal representation. I contacted the Saffa Law firm and discussed my case and they scheduled a meeting the same day with me after hours at 7:00pm and after meeting with them felt that there was a good chance to have the violation reduced to a non-moving violation that resulted in no ins. points or DMV record points. very happy with there service and it was less costly than the other 3 attorney solicitations I received. Even better the office was less than a mile from my home!

Great firm!

Rick helped me out with a speeding ticket and turned it into no points on my license! Thanks so much Rick and it was great to chat with you!

Posted by Jen | March 12, 2015

Overjoyed!

From the moment I walked in the door I was pleasantly surprised. This was not like a an appointment at a law office but a meeting with friends. The entire office staff from the receptionist and attorneys made me feel comfortable. I personally was represented by Rick Hoethke. He kept me well informed throughout the process and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the settlement of my case. Finding a lawyer can be intimidating but if you are in need one....stop looking and call Saffa Law You won't be disappointed.

Rick made my very uncomfortable position a whole lot more tolerable. He actually a language I understood and was comfortable with. You will not be disappointed.

Posted by anonymous | February 6, 2015

excellent service mr. rick offered to me and my husband

The bankruptcy process was nerve wrecking to think about, but having been represented by Mr. Rick Hoethke was a smooth process. He specifically explained the process and what was expected of me to follow through. He is very detailed oriented and informative. Thank you to him. I have already referred a family member who is going through the same downfall experience, with a hopeful turnout.

Good Lawyer

I actually would speak very highly of Rick from Saffa Law Group. He was always available for our appointments at his office on time. He was very friendly and could not have been more helpful in the process. My only complaint was that he was not on time for our 2 court appearances. Overall would definitely recommend him.
