Excellent Service - Can't say enough good things about this firm

I am from out of state and found myself in the unfortunate situation of being charged with speeding at 61 mph in a 45 mph zone which I thought was a 55 mph zone in the middle of the country. I was very close to just mailing in a guilty verdict until I found out that speeding in Alabama is a criminal offense as opposed to other states which don't treat it with the same penalizing severity. In my profession, I cannot afford to have a criminal record, so since it had been over 20 years since I had received a speeding citation, I decided to fight the charges as I am convinced the speed zone in the middle of the country on a divided highway of 45 mph is nothing more than a revenue generating speed trap. I found Joseph Kreps firm on the internet and liked the reviews that I read, so I contacted them to handle the case. I then discovered that all the positive reviews were indeed deserved. While the state of Alabama still received some revenue from me for court costs and I was subjected to an online safe driver course that didn't teach me anything I didn't already know, Kreps was able to get the charges dismissed and my record is still clean. Thank you Joseph Kreps, I'd recommend your firm to anyone who needs help with traffic violations of any kind. Charlie

Great marks for Attorney Kreps!

Great marks for Attorney Kreps!

I am a commercial driver who got a nasty 68 in a 45 zone ticket in that stupid speed trap on I-20 Interstate. I was worried that I would lose my license. Atty Kreps fought for me and had to appeal to a higher court. On the trial date, the state trooper showed up. He spoke with Atty Kreps, and left. I don't know what he said to him, but he got him to leave. I was found Not Guilty and the case was dismissed with no court costs. I cannot tell you how happy I am with Attorney Kreps.

I would highly recommend Kreps for all your traffic needs. Mrs. Hooten worked tremendously hard and kept me from losing my mind. She ended up getting a serious violation dropped to a very minor and small fine. I’m extremely happy with the results.

I live in Missouri and received a speeding ticket in Alabama. I did not want to have points on my driving record so I hired Kreps Law Firm to help me. They were very easy to work with and they got my ticket dismissed for a small fine and I had to complete an online defensive driving course. Well worth it! I am very pleased with the communication I had with them they kept me up to date with every step. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you Kreps Law Firm! Donna

Phenomenal!

This is the second time I have utilized Mr. Kreps’ law firm. This time around I was only charged with speeding (span of about a decade). The first time, I was charged with Failure to Obey and Reckless Driving. Both times, through representation with the Kreps Law Firm, ALL charges were ultimately dismissed. This law firm has been a blessing and I would recommend them to anybody. That does not come lightly from me. Thank you, again, and God Bless!
