Job well done

We hired Mr. Laird to handle some outstanding tickets in Onslow County that were from 2003. We had tried to deal with the State directly, but were getting the run around and were told we would have to appear for a hearing. Mr. Laird had the charges reduced and we were able to pay the fines online and... clear the record in the State. Thanks so much. We would strongly recommend Mr. Laird as someone that can get the job done.

Did exactly what he said he would do

I received an ad for Steven Laird's services after my speeding ticket and was attracted by his low prices. He promised to have my ticket reduced to where I would not have increased insurance or points on my license. Just hours after my court date I received an email from him saying that he was succes...sful in delivering what he promised. I am thankful for his services and would highly recommend to anyone.

Speeding Ticket

My son got a speeding ticket in North Carolina. A speeding ticket in North Carolina is extremely high. I hired Steven Laird to help reduce the fines and penalties of insurance. Steve was a great communicator. He always kept us in the loop and answered all my emails in a very timely fashion. Stev...e got my sons ticket reduced to a non-moving violation, meaning no points on his license or increases to his insurance rates. I would hire Steven Laird again in a second. (But, hopefully I don't have to)

Quick and courteous!

Thank you so much to Steve for handling my speeding ticket on such short notice. He communicated with me and kept me informed and handled everything quickly and courteously!

Took care of Speeding Ticket with a quickness.

I hired Steve to take care of a speeding ticket I received while being a designated driver for my friends. Visiting from California, I was not familiar with the area. Steve got my ticket reduced to an improper equipment ( Moving violation). This will save me a lot of money in increased insurance cost.... Thank you Steve for taking care of this 19 year Active duty Navy Sailor.
