You need to hire Evan Winer!!
Mr. Winer did a fabulous job representing me in both of my traffic cases, which were within a month of each other. I could have been in real trouble! He worked his magic, and nothing went on my record, and the fines were minimal on one, and waived on the other. This man is a miracle worker!!
