Posted by Helen | March 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

My case was dismissed

The car I was driving was not up to date with it's registration. In fact, it was the better part of the year overdue. I contacted Attorney Buttron hoping to get it dismissed. I was young, in college, living the "ramen" life and could not afford a ticket. I knew that if it got on my record it would in...crease my chances for getting tickets in the future and it felt unfair that it wasn't my car even though by law it was still my responsibility as the driver. She was able to get my whole case dismissed! My record is clean because of her. She convinced the judge that because I was young and it was my first ticket that it would be mean to give me a charge to my record. She assured him that I told her I would be more diligent and make sure my cars are always up to date (and I have!). Also, knowing that I had school and work and that it was difficult for me to go into court she made it so I wouldn't have to go in and not have to take anytime off. It was very helpful and she even gave me a reduced price. All around great experience!

If you want the job done right, look no further.

Jan was an EXCELLENT choice for our case. She is very thorough and very real. Never hid any information and always let us know what we could expect from both sides of the fence. She does her research and knows her job very well. The opposite party didn't stand a chance when she entered the courtroom.... THIS is the kind of Lawyer you want on your side! Trust me! She really goes above and beyond for her clients! I would most definitely use her services again and again.

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.
