Posted by Don | April 18, 2013 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Need an out of state Lawyer?

Finding an out of state Lawyer can be a difficult task. I was fortunate to have Patrick King recommended to me. I am a resident of Ga. and received a citation in Illinois for speeding 65 mph in a 45mph photo enforced construction zone. I was not stopped by an officer and was unaware of the citati...on until it arrived in the mail. The citation required a "mandatory court appearance" In one phone conversation Patrick was able to detail his plan of action, assure me that I would not have to be present in Illinois for the trial and explain how he would seek a favorable disposition of the case. Trial was last week with the case being dismissed with no court cost or fines. Obviously I am very pleased. I found Patrick to be very easy to work with, very competent and extremely prompt. I was also impressed with the attitude and desire to help exhibited by his staff in his absence.

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.
