Excellent Lawyer

I first met with Veronica in 2011 when I received 4 traffic citations on two separate occasions in the same week. Veronica had already been my father's attorney for years and I definitely knew why. She came to court with me very well prepared and kept me informed through out the entire process. Even ...before we entered the court room, she outlined all my options and told me what she thought was the best course of action. She came with me to court even though there was multiple appearances at different courts. The tickets included super speeding (going 100 mph in a 65 mph zone) , turning right at a red light, using a cellular device while driving (was under the age of 18 at the time), and another speeding ticket going 17 mph over. If I had gone to court without Veronica for any of these tickets, there is no doubt in my mind that my license would be suspended. She was able to make it so that nothing went on my record, and some of the tickets were even dismissed. Early in 2014, I got into some trouble as well and was issued two citations; one for reckless driving and the other for aggressive driving. She was able to get my tickets dismissed, and I had to attend a few classes and pay a fine. My father also has had only great experiences working with Veronica and we will continue to have her as our lawyer. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney to represent them, because she will go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of.

Expungement

Mrs. Cope helped me get my record expunged. I had been dealing with this case for over 2 years. I finally hired Mrs. Cope although it took sometime due to the fact that paperwork for my case had been lost. Mrs. Cope got my case before the judge and my record cleared.

Highly recommend

I recently contacted Mrs. cope to help me clear up a suspension on my licence. I was charged with a FTA for not going to my court day. Mrs. cope kept me up to date by email on her handling of the case. The release of my suspended license took a little longer than necessary because after Mrs. Cope go...t the FTA off of my record i found that i also had another one from another state. Going be-young what i had hired her to do, and with my permission, Mrs. Cope continued working on my case until everything that was stopping me from getting my license was taking care of. I highly recommend her because i know that she takes pride in her work, and will put every effort into her case.

Excellent Representation for Traffic Citations

I received dual traffic citations for 'driving on the wrong side of the road' and 'reckless driving.' Mrs. Cope had a good strategy prepared in the event of a trial, but due to her good instinct and determination, she was able to get my case dismissed. She is very familiar with the processes and prof...essionals associated with the DeKalb County Recorders Court, and I highly recommend her for representation involving traffic citations.
