Posted by James | July 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Vehicle/Pedestrian in crosswalk citation.

During my free consultation, Michael made me feel very comfortable talking to him. He was very professional and attentive to my explanation of what happened. Michael also listened to me as far as my interpretation of the statute that I was cited for (failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk) a...nd let me know all possible outcomes of what might happen should we take the case to court. I felt that I did not violate the statute due to the way it was written and Michael was very supportive of my opinion. I hired Michael and we went to court and my case was dismissed. Michael only used the information that was necessary to win my case in his questioning of the officers and while pleading my case to the judge. If i had represented myself, I have no doubt that I would have said way more than necessary and probably not have won my case. I would definitely hire him again if I needed representation.
