Speeding and Traffic Ticket 25%

For years, we have successfully defended clients in the traffic courts of the state of Georgia. We are more familiar with many of these courts than any law firm in the state, because we have handled more cumulative cases than any law firm in the state. Insurance premiums can be very expensive, and every traffic ticket can have an effect on those premiums. We have been creatively representing our clients to protect their pocketbooks from these expensive collateral effects for years.

Would recommend

I used Troy's services recently for a traffic issue. He took my info and basically handled everything for me from there. He knew what to do and when, it was pretty painless for me. I hope to never need this type of service again, but if I do I will be calling him.

He saved me money.

Troy Hendrick helped me with several traffic citations. It saved me money, and my insurance rates did not go up. I recommended him to several friends.

Ms. Smith

Troy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in dealings with my traffic ticket. He is the best and I would trust him again if needed.

Posted by Arlo | July 12, 2013 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Very dependable and attentive to client needs

I had a traffic incident that Troy was able to handle for me. He was very responsive to my initial inquiry, and asked me to provide some minor details and pictures of the intersection where the incident occurred. From there, he went on my behalf to the hearing, and the issue was resolved without ha...ving to miss any work or put any significant time into dealing with the issue. He's also helped my wife out with a traffic issue, and we had the same great and professional experience in that case as well. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Troy to any family or friends in need of Defense help. He is certainly a lawyer with character and respect for the law and his clients.
