Best Traffic Lawyer

Mr. Washburn was very professional handling my husband’s traffic issue. When I was looking for a lawyer to handle my husband’s issue, we called around 10 lawyers and I did not feel comfortable with anyone with the way they handled our questions and concerns over the phone, when I talked to Mr. Washb...urn over the phone, he explained everything very well and very professional that made me feel confident to hire him. We are very happy with his work and we recommend him 100%. Thank you so much Mr. Washburn .

traffic ticket

Following an accident for which I was charged with failing to yield, I hired Mr. Washburn because I did not want to just pay my fine and settle with a guilty plea. That would have impacted my record and insurance in a negative way. Also I was uncomfortable going to court. Mr. Washburn carefully ex...plained the necessary procedure, which included his appearance in court on my behalf and completing all necessary paperwork. Even though I made a mistake which caused a bit of additional work on his part, he was very kind and resolved everything efficiently. I asked if additional fees were needed, but he declined and completed the work for the original amount agreed upon. I would hire Mr. Washburn again should the need ever arise. AEP

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
