Never showed up at court

I received a notice from Hamtramck that a default decision had been made in my case because no one showed up for court. This was supposed to be an easy speeding ticket case. I was an essential worker with perfect driving record. I can't believe he didn't show up.

Speeding Ticket

This was my first time having to contact a Law Firm to represent me in court. McCandliss made the process very simple and easy to understand. I was able to contact anytime and all my questions were answered. I will be reaching out to them again in the future (hopefully I don’t need to) and referring ...friends and family as well.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
