“Ok” I guess
With a super clean driving record, I figured this ticket would have been dismissed. The officer who wrote the citation was never even a patrol cop and clearly filled out the ticket wrong. With all of that on my side I recieved a pretty standard no points and pay the fine outcome. I never once sp...

Replied last March 01, 2022Hi Zackery, We are so sorry to hear you weren't pleased with our services! Through FastEasyTicket.com, we advertise getting our client's points waived from traffic tickets so they do not have a car insurance increase or have to go to traffic school. We do not go to trial for the tickets (where to officer shows up), but instead go to traffic court. After explaining a case, the judge then decides based on circumstantial (how you got the ticket) and past information (such as driving record) if he will withhold the points on their license for a ticket. Because our FastEasyTicket service is online and we charge much less than private ticket services, there is usually minimum communication other than with the ticket manager, Hannah. She is always available to call, text, or email with any questions at (904) 649-3921. Once again we apologize for the poor experience, we hope we can make it up to you in the future if you ever are in a bind and need a defense attorney!

Replied last February 28, 2018Dear Carl: Without more information, I am unable to identify you or the case. I would encourage you to call this office so we could discuss your concerns. All my fees are reasonable according to the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar, and all clients agree to the fee and agree it is reasonable under the circumstances. All attorneys charge fees according to their experience, reputation, knowledge, and ability. I have a stellar reputation for following up with all clients timely and providing excellent customer care. I have represented thousands of juveniles over 33 years of practice with no complaints.
