Speeting ticket

Mr. Fenbert helped me lower my speeding violation fee significantly and was closely in touch to answer any questions I had. His careful and thorough preparations were remarkable. スピード違反で高額なチケットを切られた際、裁判所出頭準備から当日までフェンバート先生に全て仕切っていただき、罰金が大幅に下がりました。念密な下準備で対応いただき、質問にも的確な回答をいただき大変助かりました。

Moving Vehicle Violation

My fiance and I consulted and ultimately chose Mr. Fenbert to defend my fiance in a moving vehicle violation. He was prompt in gathering the relevant facts of the case and clearly communicated what we could expect of the process and the likely resolution we could hope for. Ultimately, the violation was effectively reversed in court and the overall process was as relatively painless from our perspective.

Major relief after a minor infraction

Confident and knowledgeable, Richard resolved a minor infraction quickly - reducing my time in court and away from work. He presented several options for the situation and drove towards the desired resolution.

Selling prescription medication.

Richard quickly and competently investigated a school suspension of a high school student. He counseled the parties involved. He contacted school authorities on behalf of the client. The issue was resolved. We were happy with the settlement. I would highly recommend Mr. Fenbert's services.
