Review Philip Kroovand

Speeding in School Zone and Illegal Passing

Posted by

When I received Philip's letter in the mail I decided to give him a call. He didn't try to sell me, and he only offered what might happen with or without a lawyer. We agreed on his fee, which was very reasonable, and he was prompt to the courthouse. We had the case delayed because of the inexperience of the DA attorney, so the case was delayed. In the interim Philip negotiated it down to a mere speeding ticket. He showed up again at the rescheduled time, handled all the paperwork and didn't charge anymore. He was courteous, professional and attentive. I highly suggest him!
