Posted by Richard | September 19, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Driving license still canceled since 2005

I hired Mr. Greenberg for a simple DUI case in 2001. I received 2 tickets that year. One was for dui & the other was Roadways lined for Traffic. Both of them were pleaded guilty to. My license was suspended since 2001 & has been canceled since 2005. A total of 21 years I had no drivers license. He m...ade such a big deal about a single traffic ticket.

Unprofessional conduct in the court

Mr. Greenberg represented me in a traffic hearing a few years ago. He charged me 500 to represent me in an administrative hearing to save my license on a technicality. He told me I did not need to be there it was gonna be a breeze and after I heard the audio record of the hearing I know why he didn't... want me there. He ripped threw a brief cracking jokes and engaging in unprofessional flirtatious banter with who I assume was the prosecuter or judge. Total time 3 minutes of representation, an unfavorable verdict for me (which he did not contest at all) and he laughed all the way to the bank. I lost my driving job, the only kind of work I could do because of disability. Needless to say I called the Bar association but that was a joke. My mistake for believing he would go to bat for me, I should have been there.
