Posted by Naren | December 07, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Speeding ticket in Kenosha County

Mr. Johnen's law office was professional and did exactly as promised. Received a speeding ticket due to being on a call and he managed to negotiate it down to a non-moving violation; greatly offsetting potential insurance premiums. Timely and painless.

Speeding ticket in Racine County

I received a speeding ticket in Racine County while traveling to Milwaukee,going 20 mph over the limit. I reached out to Johnen law firm for help. My main concern was to keep the ticket off my record,and maybe get the amount down. They were very professional and answered every question in detail. And... in the end,they got the violation reduced,right along with the amount,and my insurance wouldn't be affected. I would most definitely recommend this firm,because they did what they said in a timely fashion.

Speeding ticket reduced

Traveling and got a speeding ticket. I found Mr Johnen online and so glad I used him and his team They were prompt and very profession. The fee was reasonable especially given that I didn’t have to go to the court in another state 300 miles away. They reduced my ticket to a nonmoving violation as... promised. This was important as my state doesn’t have a point system and this would have been a big hit on my record.

Best decision we ever made was to hire Attorney Johnen!

Attorney Johnen was professional, maintained regular communication, had an awesome staff that kept us in the loop, and the online communication system worked effortlessly. I always knew exactly where we were in the traffic ticket process. He and his staff were always timely in their responses. I neve...r had to wait or wonder about anything. Priceless! I will continue to recommend Sasa to everyone who inquires about reliable, effective, and professional attorney.

Very Professional and Great Outcome

I highly recommend Sasa! He was very professional and thorough when helping guiding me through the legal system. He was very prompt whenever I needed to talk or had any questions about the case. Even when I was ready to just back out and cave in and plead guilty and just take the deal, reminded me wh...y I hired him and that we were going to fight this. And in the end we went to trial and we won and got all charges dismissed! I cannot thank Sasa enough for the tremendous work he did

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.
