Posted by Joseph | August 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

An absolute miracle worker!

I hired Mrs. Lanier 8/2018 for 4 traffic tickets my girlfriend and I received passing through Glenn County , GA. 2 "super speeding" violations and 2 failure to move over violations, which were misdemeanor charges. I had consultations with three other lawyers before hiring Mrs. Lanier, who all advised... me i would have to pay the $2600 fines within 30 days, as well as have points on our licenses and a possible criminal record, and also informed us if we wanted additonal time to pay the fines we would have to plead guilty and go on probation. Then I hired Mrs. Lanier, who miraculously got all 4 charges pled down to minor infractions, no points on our licenses, and fines reduction from $2600 to $1000. ADDITIONALLY, she was able to get us an extra thirty days to pay! This is an extremely hard working professional and to be quite honest, if you do not hire her you would be doing yourself a huge disservice. A true miracle worker , words can not begin to describe our grattitude to Mrs. Lanier's expert legal experience, knowledge, and dedication. If you need a lawyer in Georgia Mrs. Lanier is the BEST of the BEST!!!
