Professional and Effective

Attorney Pak handled my son’s disorderly conduct case two years ago and was able to get the ridiculous charge expunged. Attorney Pak brings to the table knowledge, professionalism and results.

Honest and Effective

My daughter (with me in the car) received a ticket in a Suburb of Atlanta for "Failure to Stop", She has a Florida License and before court moved to Maine for work, at age 22 we felt it was important to try to keep the ticket of her driving record for insurance purposes, After a TON of research ...I found great reviews for Sam McRae so I contacted his office and talked with his partner Gunner Pak, he was honest, told us at this particular court had some risk as the city attorney can be tough, but Gunner was able to get the charges reduced, gave us clear instruction what to look for before paying online, and followed up with us until everything was settled and closed. I know many attorney's outside the Atlanta area (my daughters mother works for one) and I can say out hesitation that my experience with Pak and McRae was a GREAT one, My daughter and I can definitely suggest using them for your legal woes. THANKS GUNNER !!!!

Awesome

Mr. Pak was amazing! I failed to pay a ticket 4 years ago and there was a warrant filed. He went to court and the warrant was lifted and charges dismissed! He personally called me and Kelley followed up with an email and paper work! I was so pleased with the service!

Outstanding and Reliable

Mr Pak is the best! He recently represented me on a traffic citation out of Gwinnett County. He was so awesome to work with. Mr. Pak is a great communicator and was able to handle everything on my behalf so that I didn't have to appear in court and take time off of work. He is very respected in the c...ommunity both in and out of the courtroom. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great attorney. I can't thank him enough for all of his help!
