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.

Exstreamly Displeased

I had an easy case and all I did was waist my money with him. I paid him 500.00 which finding out a year later my restitution was only 430.00 that I in the end had to pay. He never communicated with me. I always had to call him. Honestly he did nothing but pass court dates for a YEAR. I will not reco...mmend him nor will I ever use his services again. I am so displeased with his company.

I take my time with each and every case, and even in cases when the charges are dropped sometimes clients are unhappy because they are unhappy.

Don't waste your time!

Contacted his office and explained that I had received a traffic citation. They told me to fax a copy of the ticket and a letter explaining the circumstances. After faxing the required information I contacted Mr. Rowes office a few days later since he failed to contact me. I called on two separate... occasions and left my contact information. I was never called back. If there is one thing that I hate more, is a professional or unprofessional in this case, who cannot perform the simple task of calling people back. After waiting two weeks I went elsewhere and so should you!

Zero response on 3 seperate occasions! Do not recommend!

I contracted the services of Mr. Rowe to assist me with a traffic ticket in the Jacksonville court system. His assistant graciously took my $99 and explained to wait until 30 days after the established court date. Around 30 days afterward, I recieved a mailing that explained that I would be require...d to pay the ticket in full while also attending a previously non-required driving school. However, now driving school is required. I attempted to contact Mr. Rowe 3 seperate times asking him to call me back to explain why I am now required to attend a drivingn school that was not required at the time. Keep in mind, I have 1 other ticket in my lifetime in Jacksonville. Even his assistant was surprised. However, I have yet to hear from Mr. Rowe. Based on my personal experience, I would personally not recomend Mr. Rowe for any legal activities. If you do so, you do at your own risk.
