ticket for failure to use due care

i asked if the cops could come back and give me more charges and Mr. Babkes was very helpful, and kind. I wasn't able to renew my license because i failed the eye test, so i got an ID. I stopped driving quite a long time ago due to my eye sight, but this was an emergency, only 3 miles, at 4 am so n...o traffic. When I pulled from my parking lot I didn't turn the wheel enough and drove onto the sidewalk and hit a water main. Destroyed my 1997 car, and my insurance is paying the water company for damages. When the police asked for my license he only wrote me the one ticket for "failure to use due care". I was worried they would notice my license was expired and come add that charge. Mr. Babkes eased my stress and even made me laugh. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a good attorney. Thank you Mr. Babkes!

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
