When reaching out to Suhre & Associates, I had never been in trouble with the law and was very nervous about receiving an unwarranted OVI ticket. After a consultation, there was a price mentioned ($3,500) which sounded like the full price of the services. I hired one of Joes lawyers. A few months lat...er, after an initial court hearing, there was another invoice sent for an additional $2,500 for the continuation of her services. This was not mentioned in our consultation, so naming a price to get hired and then bumping it up once the services started is shady and not transparent. I didn’t have any other option and luckily I had been saving up, so I emptied my savings account to pay the rest.
I contacted Joe to talk about the situation. His tone and answers to my questions on the phone were far from calming. There was no apology for the lack of transparency and he made me seem like I was just some criminal; being short, not willing to hear my side, and talking over me consistently.
I’m happy that I was able to win my case, but I don’t believe Suhre & Associates was the reason for it. Lack of transparency at the beginning and no empathy/good communication with a paying client.
If Joe Suhre or Miranda Holbrook could get me in touch with a lawyer that doesn’t have a conflict of interest with the city or the officer involved, and can help me get the $6,000 that I HAD to spend in order to prove my innocence, I’d absolutely consider amending or deleting this review.
