Posted by Christine | February 11, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Great experience

I was so pleased with Sasa, not only was it easy and efficient, I literally had to do nothing and he kept me informed continually what was going on with my case and what if anything was needed from me. I was skeptical at first as it seemed to good to be true but was pleasantly surprised how painless ...this was. This was a great experience and I would highly recommend Sasa to anyone needing help with a traffic violation.

Posted by Keith | February 05, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Professional with a personal touch

I had 2 tickets on top of an accident and wasn't sure what to do. I contacted the law office and right away was told they could help me and was assured what they could do for me. I was put at ease and never had to worry about court. They handled everything and kept me informed from start to finish. I... hope to never need them again but will recommend them and use them if I ever would need to again.

Traffic Ticket

Prior to the court date Sasa told me exactly what would happen and even went as far as saying if it doesn't go down this way he would offer a refund on the attorney fee. The fee for his services was under a hundred dollars and it went down exactly as he said it would. I felt the attorney fee was a ba...rgain and the end result was a non moving violation which wouldn't affect my insurance rate. It did cost me 2 points on my licence but if I had not had Sasa representing me it would have been 6 points. I am totally satisfied with Attorney Sasa Johnen's and would recommend him to anybody needing help with traffic tickets.

Top of the Line Law Firm !

Definately one of the best attorneys. Communication with Atty.Johnen and his staff was excellent; they kept me well informed throughout all court dates and proceedings. Not only did they accomplish all that I requested, I didn't have to attend; which was nice not to have to commute to each court date.... I recommend everyone to contact them and at least be consulted by them before anyone else. Happy Holidays

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.
