Fantastic CDL Lawyer.
I called Mr. Melnky right after I got my CDL ticket. He started working on it from day one & did not let up till he got it dropped.

I apologize that you have had a negative experience. I do strive to communicate as effectively as possible with all of my clients. It is not unusual for a traffic case to take several months depending upon the county/city in which it occurred. Because you posted this anonymously I am not able to contact you directly. However, I do want to make the situation right with you. Please email me at david@melnyklawfirm,com and I will contact you right away.
