traffic ticket dismissal

Awesome Attorney

Hello my boyfriend had gotten into some trouble with a hit and run and driving with a suspended license. He already had some problems in the past as well. He just wanted to move on with his life and get out of trouble. I talked to several different attorneys and did not like their success rates. I spoke with Mr. Wagoner he answered all of my questions with ease and not irritation. I hired him on the spot! He got the two charges dismissed! Mr. Wagoner is a great attorney he communicated and did an excellent job. I would hire him and only him for any future services (hopefully there will be none) but if so he will be my first call!

traffic ticket dismissal

Waggoner was very responsive and easy to work with. Affordable pricing. Got a speeding ticket dismissed for me to keep off my driving record. Worth every penny!

Horrible lawyer

I was a client for Merritt back in 2010 and he drugged my case out till the summer of 2012 and did absolutely nothing for me. Pleas guilty on my behalf and I blew a .08, he did not whatsoever try to fight for me and stole $1500 dollars from me basically.
