.
Mr Theus was able to negotiate permission for me to attend defensive driving school when I thought that it wouldn’t be possible. By me attending the course I have avoided a hike in my insurance and loss of driving a company vehicle.

Traffic citation
Received a traffic citation that I ran a red light when I didn’t. Immediately went to mr Theus and told him I dint have time to deal with this issue and didn’t want it going on my insurance or against my record because I have a commercial driver’s license. Mr Theus told me not to worry and began work...

Great
Matt made the experience of dealing with the legal system, a pleasant one. From the beginning, he kept informed on the best & worst case scenario of my judgement. Even though it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, it was not the worst case scenario.
