Speeding Ticket

Was extremely pleased in how this attorney and staff followed up with me so I would not have extra expense relative to the court's schedule. They prompted me in my busy life to make sure details did not fall through.

Walker

I give this attorney very high marks. My son received a ticket; within the week we received the correspondence from Me. Lairds office. He answered the phone, which impressed me, answered all my questions very pleasantly and was more reasonable in price range than the other letters I received. He hand...led the case in a Timely manner and emailed my results. I would recommend his firm for tickets and will use him from now on in the event we need an attorney.
