Stress reliever

I immediately called an attorney when I recieved a traffic ticket and thankful that I found Julian. He handled everything for me after I consulted with him and only had to meet up once! He went to court for me and got my ticket significantly reduced and I could not have been more relieved.

Incredible lawyer

I’d love to give a big thanks to Julian who did some amazing work for me. Not only did he get a felony charge dropped to a misdemeanor, he also was able to retain my freedom.

best lawer for the money

I only lived in Michigan for 6-7 months,i ran into some trouble with the law,after calling a number or attorneys and giving them a briefing of my situation none of them talked and explained things like mr.j.j.poota did.he was honest and the fee was very affordable,i recommend him to anyone with legal... issues.

Class a CDL traffic tickets

I have a class a CDL and I was hit with a third lane ticket in Hamtramck Michigan. After receiving a citation I immediately called Mr. Poota. He started right away taking care of everything. Since I live in Tennessee I did not want to have to be there for court in Michigan. He reassured me that I wou...ld not have to appear or do anything really. Treated me just like family. Within a short couple of months everything was taken care of he had it reduced to a nonmoving violation. No points on my license! He communicated with me throughout the whole process. He Made everything very easy to understand on the direction we were headed with this. I would highly recommend him to any class a CDL truck drivers with traffic tickets in the Detroit Michigan area. As far as that goes anyone with any legal needs he is a great lawyer.

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.
