No regrets! A calm in the storm at the most fair prices!

I contacted a few attorneys via Avvo and through websites I found doing Google searches. A major firm that advertises on billboards and on the radio (who will remain nameless) quoted me one extremely high price, then came down 25% then came down another 27%. Even with a 70+% drop in their initial pri...ce, Sladjana was 45% more affordable! I was worried that I might get less than stellar service at this price point, but was impressed by the pro-bono and legal aid work that she's done in the past and wanted to support that (and her). She responded promptly via her personal cell phone and offered to be available to answer questions via text message. The day of my hearing arrived and Sladjana met me outside of the courtroom with a warm smile and a focus on my case, not on payment. After getting a feel for the direction of my case, she brought me up to speed and we took care of her extremely reasonable fee (via Chase QuickPay, no less! Hello 2017!) before proceeding. She was able to leverage her positive relationships throughout the courthouse and negotiation skills at the bench to get one of my tickets dismissed entirely and the other reduced from a Class A misdemeanor to a petty offense which was fined at ZERO DOLLARS with 4 months' court supervision! Miracle worker? Can't argue with that title!

Traffic Court/Speeding Ticket

Sladjana Vuckovic handled a case involving a traffic incident with my son. She was very professional, efficient and guided us through whole process ensuring we understood everything. She was very knowledgeable and always had our best interest in mind. She was amazing to work with and we will continu...e to use her for any legal service in the future . I highly recommend Sladjana for any legal advise or representation.

Aggravated Speeding ticket

Awesome work, I was very pleased with the service. Mrs. Vuckovic Had my ticket reduced to a pettier offense. I was given a few options to choose from, with her best suggestion of what would be best. She gave me the best options to go with as an Cdl-A license holder. Very knowledgeable in her field. A...lso, not as expensive very reasonable. Represented me at very short notice. Would recommend her to anyone needing these type of services.

Great Help!

Sladjana did a great job in explaining the process to me a first time traffic offender. She helped me understand my options and guided me in the right direction. I would surely recommend to reach out to her for your traffic violations

Aggravated speeding case

I had a aggravated speeding charge and had court in dekalb county. I called around for a few lawyers and Sladjana was the first that seemed interested and motivated to take on my case. She explained to me the process and likely outcomes of my case. She offered to represent me at an excellent rate. S...he was very dilligent in her duties as a lawyer arranging everything, showing up on time, making sure I was there on time. In the court room she was very professional and had a lot of energy (I've had lawyers before that were very tired and dull and I could tell the didn't really care about my case I was just another case to them.) Sladjana was able to plead my charge down from a class A misdemeanor to a regular ticket. I am very pleased by this outcome and this lawyers professional ethic. I would recommend her to anyone.
