Speeding Ticket Amendment

After looking at various lawyers I decided to hire Chris, based on previous user reviews, for my speeding ticket. I emailed him in the evening and he called me almost immediately informing me of my options. I even emailed him with a question the next week really late on a weeknight not expecting a ...reply until the next day, however, to my surprise, he responded to my question within a few minutes. He explained the entire process and everything went perfect. I would highly recommend!!

Amazing help at the best price you'll find!

I got a ticket and needed it off my record so it would not affect my insurance rate, among other factors. I contacted Mr. Simons as well as another firm. Mr. Simons got back to me super quick with his rate, which was literally less than half of what the other place wanted. He was quick to answer my ...questions and took care of the situation for me hassle-free. He was able to keep it from going on my record, and I didn't have to step foot in court, he handled it all for me and communicated with me via email throughout the process. I am hoping it will be some time before I ever get another ticket, but if I ever do, he will definitely be my first call!!

Excellent service

Mr. Simons was very responsive to my questions regarding my speeding ticket, regardless of the time of day! He provided specific feedback, kept me in the loop on where things were, and notified me when the ticket was resolved. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

Posted by Tighe | July 14, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Quick and Easy!

Richard Christopher Simons took care of my ticket fast. I sent him a message on his website and within a few minutes he reached out to me. He explained the process and after I filled out the necessary forms and sent over my payment to him, he handled EVERYTHING from there. A few days later, he inform...ed me that my ticket was amended to a non moving violation and provided me the link to take care of payment. Super easy, super convenient, super fast!!! Avoid the headaches, hassles and hefty insurance premium increases, have Richard amend your ticket today! People make mistakes, but DON'T MAKE ANOTHER by pleading guilty WITHOUT talking to Richard Christopher Simons first!

Best way to take care of a speeding ticket! :-)

I was late to work and got a speeding ticket ( worse day ever!) Now i had to worry about being late and havin a speeding ticket to deal with. Attorney Richard "Chris" Simons took care of my speeding ticket fast and painlessly. All correspondence was done via email except his initial call to me after... I contacted him online. So, I didn't even have to take the time to go to his office. He called and explained everything by phone and then the rest was through email which was great. He was very fast to respond to any questions I sent him through email. His fee was $75 as advertised which is super cheap! You still have to pay court fees and fines to the court ( which you would have to pay for with any attorney) but he has a great website that you can pay it all together online. I was a bit skeptical of doing it all online but he is legit. When he notified me that the ticket was reduced to a non moving violation He also sent a copy of a paid receipt via email and I later called the court just to make sure it was indeed all taken care of and it was. I am so glad I chose him to represent me. From first contact to last it took only 2 weeks and now I don't have to worry about this ticket anymore. Hopefully i dont have another speeding ticket but at least i know who i can trust to handle it for me if I do. Hire Chris to represent you!!! Trust me you will be so glad you did!!!

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.
