My careless driving ticket when I had my accident

I talked to him and he put my mind at ease, explain how everything would go and what he would do . During all this he was very compassion and friendly. His office keep me in touch about everything and updated , he was highly recommended from friends. He done everything like he said and got my tic...ket gone , and my record cleared . I would definitely recommend him to everyone that needs a lawyer. His cost was very reasonable and affordable. I can’t say enough good about him !!!!! He was very knowledgeable about my case !!!!!!!!!

N. Ward

Represented me for a speeding ticket on the job with my CDL, the case was dismissed and saved me some very important points against my license and livelyhood. Was well worth the small fee. Thank you so much!

Posted by Robert | January 30, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

To Whom It May Concern:

Mr. Decker represented me on a moving violation, failure to yield right of way, in a merging lane on to I75 in Gainesville. I told him my account of the incident and let him know that I could not be there to testify in the courtroom as I reside in Broward County. His representation resulted in a no...t guilty judgement where as the sheriff's deputy was insisting recommending that I plead guilty and go to traffic school at the time of the incident. I disagreed with his representation of the facts and his behavior at the traffic stop as well as his over aggressiveness for the situation.

Family Law

I hired AJ for parenting plan/custody agreement for my son. AJ is very knowledgeable in family law, and was honest about the outcome. He was easily reachable which was invaluable to me also due to me having many questions and concerns.

Very prompt and efficient service

I had a traffic violation for speeding in Gainesville. It was easy and hassle free to communicate with the staff of Attorney Decker and he got my points removed.

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.

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.
