Great Attorney

I hired Mr. Rowe to handle my ticket in Duval county. Mr. Rowe got my ticket dismissed and i didn't have to pay any extra fees. His staff was very nice and knowledgeable about everything.

Tarffic ticket help

I received a traffic ticket and was looking at a $269 fine. I received Mr. Rowe's card in the mail and decided to give him a call. He was able to get my ticket dropped and my case closed with no additional fees, no points on my license and no record of the ticket on my record! It was $99 well spent. ...I hope I never need him again, but if I do, I know who to call.

Transaman

I received a speeding ticket in 1 of my many red collector T/A's by a FHP on I-95 in 5:00pm traffic on a friday, but I wasnt even speeding at the time, I had been boxed in heavy traffic when I noticed a red Jaguar weaving in & out of traffic at a high rate of speed. After being pulled over I question...ed the trooper on my lack of speed and informed him that I wasnt speeding and that I had been boxed in, but I clearly saw the red Jaguar speeding and driving wreckless. He told me that I would have the opportunity to defend myself in a court of law. I was given Mr. Rowes name by a friend and immediately contacted him to set an appointment. He was very punctual on our scheduled time, was very reasonable, and seemed well informed on traffic laws, so I hired him. He had the ticket thrown out of court and that was GREAT!!!

Speeding ticket

I had the good fortune to be referred Mr. Rowe by a friend I know in Jacksonville, FL I rec'd a speeding ticket that I really should not have. The cop stopped me and all the while other cars were speeding along with me. I asked the cop why he asked why he chose to pull me over and went into some ...spiel about have I ever been dove or quail hunting. I said yes, both. He said "which bird do shoot for" I said the one I can get the best lead on. He said "that's why I pulled you over, You were the slowest speeder in the bunch"! I contacted Mr. Rowe and told him exactly what you just read. He told what his fee would be and there was no guaranty, but he'd give it his best shot. I couldn't arrange to deliver his fee, so I had a courier bring it to his office. Mr Rowe contacted me and advised me of the court date and naturally, I had to be in Texas for a meeting & asked him if I had to even be there anyway. He asked for a limited POA and I had one drawn up and notarized here. And once again had a courier deliver it to his office. Next time I heard from Mr. Rowe he'd gotten the case thrown out. I don't know how or why and I don't care. He won and the cop was admonished for conduct unbecoming an officer.

Waste of Time

I received a speeding ticket in an apparent sting on the Arlington Expressway. For those who are not aware, the speed limit on the Arlington Expressway is 50mph except for a VERY short segment of the road between the Mathews Bridge and Cesery Blvd, 45mph. Be very careful not to speed between these po...ints. I hired Mr Rowe, hoping to get the ticket dismissed. The signage for that segment of the road is inadequate. I paid an upfront fee of $89 in exchange for Mr Rowe's office to "fight" the ticket on my behalf. The result was disappointing. The ticket was not dismissed, but points were withheld. I was charged $75 in court fees. The original ticket was only $129. If I elected to take the 4 hour online driving school (also resulting in points being withheld), the cost is approximately $9. The total, if I handled this myself, would've been $138. The total having Mr Rowe do whatever it is he did is $164. I wasted $26 for what seems like nothing. If you receive a minor traffic infraction (i.e. a ticket for 54mph in a 45mph zone [when you think it is a 50mph zone]), don't waste your time and money hiring Mr Rowe. The office will not have sympathy for your waste of time and money. I recommend paying the ticket and taking the class online. AND... drive safely and mind the speed limit.
