If you want him to screw you over, you find the right one!!!

I got a red light camera couple monthly ago and the ticket was $148. I came to Golden Traffic Ticket Law and they promised me since I have clean driving history and there will be no point no driving school and I won't find guilty, no further fee from court either (initially there would be no poin...t no school for the red light camera). Guess what? After couple month I got a letter from them saying that they won the case but I have to pay $270 for the court fee!!! Basically they did nothing for $80 so called service they provided but doubled my ticket amount!!! Initially it was $148 but now I have to pay $80+$270=$350!!! I tried to reach out to them but they either hang up on my directly or being extremely rude/impatient on the phone. Luckily my credit card company filed the dispute to them after they reviewed my case and got my $80 back even they can't do anything about that $270 court fee. Listen people, this dude is a fraud! He should be shame what he is doing for his business by screwing over people as a lawyer! Contact your credit company (Chase and American Express are really nice at disputing this kind of charge as far as I know) and dispute your transaction! They will get a penalty fee too from their credit card processor! I am writing a letter to Florida Bar and hope they will suspend his license! And I will also write a letter to Broward Commercial Association and ask them to do inverstigation and suspend their business or whatever!!! They think they can screw us over like that? Let us show we can do together and make them out of business!!!

Prompt and Efficient

I live in S.C., and I had a 13 year old traffic violation in Broward, I called Mr. Golden and explained my situation, he promptly told me what I needed to send him, and he jumped right on my case, within 2 weeks he had my case on the docket and dismissed. I'd strongly recommend Mr. Golden to anyone w...ith any legal traffic issues.

Traffic Ticket - Brevard County

I received my first speeding ticket here in Brevard country (I am 52 years old) and luckily I received an ad in my mail about the services of John Golden. There was others but I selected/hired him because of his 100 percent money back guarantee if he could not win/dismiss my ticket case. He did exac...tly that and I couldn't be happier of the results. Excellent service and his staff was professional in keeping me updated on my case via email and/or phone.

Great Experience- Case Dismissed!

My week started off GREAT! Thanks to Mr. Golden, my case (stop sign citation) was dismissed. I happen to come across his number while researching online, and I am truly satisfied and thankful that I chose the right person. I was a bit nervous; however, Mr. Golden was very informative and straightforw...ard. I had plenty of questions and he answered them. Even when I had more questions, he called back within a reasonable time. I thank you and your team for handling my case! I know who to call next time, without a doubt! Thanks again :)

Find Another Lawyer

John will happily take your money and you will be represented, however, do not expect to be informed on when your case goes to court OR what the disposition of the case was! I contacted his assistant Tony 3 times to find out when the case was scheduled to go to court, when I had no correspondence for... 3 months after making payment, then to try and learn the disposition of the case. Three weeks after the case went to court, I gave up and went online to find it myself. Took me 5 minutes to find it and learn some other attorney was present to represent me. STAY AWAY!!!!

I am sorry that you were unhappy with your experience with our firm. But I will reasonably infer that your final result was indeed a positive one, since you did not criticize the actual result. Our office sends a confirmation letter and receipt upon hiring that clearly tells the client that the final court date may be 3 or more months away, and that results will follow afterwards. It is also important that we wait to receive the actual disposition from the Court with the judge’s signature, match it with your file, and send you the accurate result. Simply looking up the result on the Clerk’s website without verifying the judge’s signed disposition can result in mistakes, i.e. at times Clerk’s make scrivener’s errors when entering information into the computer. Thus the short delay to await the actual judge signed disposition is to protect you as the client. If an inaccuracy was entered by the Clerk, we would file the appropriate motion to correct the matter and protect your driving record. Finally, all attorneys that attend in court hearings are highly skilled and experienced with great knowledge of their local courtrooms, thus allowing us to achieve the best possible results for our clients.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Probation issued in FL, 2008

updated on 08/15/2016

Probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

John’s comment:

“I have never been disciplined for any type of improper client representation, and I have represented over 50,000 clients. This was a minor technical violation due to an old advertisement letter being mistakenly stuffed into an envelope by a member of my staff. The older advertisement had, in fact, been preapproved by the Florida Bar but was now improperly worded due to an update/change in the Bar's wording requirements.”

Admonishment issued in FL, 2004

updated on 08/15/2016

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

John’s comment:

“This in no way was a result of any type of improper client representation. As a young lawyer, I was unaware that certain forms of written advertisement had to be submitted to the Florida Bar for approval prior to disbursement. Another attorney's secretary received one of my advertisements and he turned it into the Bar. She never even hired our office. I was required to attend a class at which the advertising rules were reviewed.”
