Not bad

I took 2 citations to this attorney a few years ago. I went to court about a year later (thinking I'm going to one court date for both citations), and was told they scheduled some people incorrectly so my court date was actually the following day. I showed up the following day, and was told I was not... on the dockets for that day either. The representative from Bobbitt Law (Christopher, I believe) spoke with me about it, went back in the court room for a few minutes, then came out and apologized saying that the judge had said since the bookings were messed up and they wasted my time, my case was dismissed. I asked, "both of them?" and Christopher said "uhh.....yeah." He didn't seem too sure and I know I should have gotten something in writing stating this, but it turned out they were not both dismissed that day. A year later I was arrested for some outstanding traffic citations, including one that was taken to Bobbitt Law and I had presumed dismissed. When I called about it, they were very helpful and advised me that they were still the attorney on record for the case, so they could still go to court for me. Apparently I had missed a court date for the first citation that hadn't been dismissed, but I do not remember receiving any kind of letter about the court date, or one for missing it. Regardless, the attorney went back to court for the citation a second time, even though it was years later and I had already failed to appear for that case, and was able to get it dismissed.

Good Job

Bobbitt Law explained everything that needed to be done on my part. They did not promise anything, but advised that they would work hard to either get the ticket dismissed or to a reduced fine. They did what they said they would do and I'm grateful for it.

Lawyers were efficient

I met the lawyer in court and he gave me specific instructions on what was going on, and clear follow up steps. They also contacted me frequently to keep me posted on the status of my case

Beware of Bobbit law firm

I hired Bobbit law firm after receiving a letter in the mail.To represent me on a traffic violation.I payed them the money up front to handle the case.The secatery had me to give them my email address. Phone number and address..Told me they would contact me by phone. And email.After not hearing from ...them within a few weeks after the first court date. I called them. To be told I needed to activate the power of attorney. Which I did...I recieved a letter in the mail dated April 3rd. Say I was to be in court. I called the office to be told I did not need to be there. The attorney would discuss a plea deal and call me to follow up with the plea. Didnt hear anything. I called again to find out the attorneys didnt make it and reschedule the court date....and they would negotiate a plea. And send me a letter in the mail. Never recieved a letter.... they didnt call. Or send an email to me......I called them july 13. ,They told me they sent me a letter in the mail. Funny thing is I get all my other mail. Just not letter from Bobbit law firm. I know our mail man realy well. Mr. Robbert. He been a friend of the family for years. I asked him if he delivered a letter from bobbit law firm. His reply was not since the first one dated april 3rd... huh. Whats going on ???? I started asking around about bobbit law firm. Started looking at reviews ... wow ....and they are still in buissnes....I guess because you go to law school you can lie. And steal peoples money....legally..... The people that work in office will say they done this and that.. and its not true.......They will lie to you. They are rude and very unprofessional. BUT GUESS WHAT THERE ARE ALOT OF people out there they have ripped off. Im one of them.... ill put them out there. Spread the word. They are crooks. And lie. Ill not stop. You think I would recommend them... not at all . The advise I can give you is find someone with better ratings. Hell I found out they are only rated 2 out of 5 .Hell I wouldnt even use them to wipe my ass with......and to you Barry Bobbit. You are a lying thief. Someone who prays on people who get tickets.... you are a scum bag in my book......... There are alot of people out there that are getting together to tell the stories of how you take advantage of people.....me myself... ill put It in the paper . Contact every source I can and spread the word about you.........I work in all the cities you are established in.. and every where you turn... ill be there putting the word out about you......

We did an excellent job on your case by significantly reducing the fine amount and keeping this violation off your record. Although our service was clearly explained at the time of hire, you had unreasonable expectations that we can force the court to dismiss your case or somehow 'fix' the system. As clearly stated at time of hire (and ongoing discussions with our office) you could have elected to try this case in front of a jury for no additional fee to our office. However, you chose not to do that; rather, you made it almost impossible to assist you in this matter. Specifically, you kept yelling at our staff and using vulgar profanity.

Do not use Bobbit law!

Never hire bobbit law! The only thing they are good at is lying to you saying it's all taken care of when it's not! They fail to attend your court date which leaves you with a warrant, and when you call back to try to fix the issue, they want to charge me again to get the warrant taken care of that I... got because they failed to appear Lol!! They have a Fort Worth location that apparently is never open. Apparently the employee leaves when she pleases during hours of operation. Costumer service sucks, I guarantee you every time you call you will get told something different! One of their employees claimed she left a voicemail, and my voicemail isn't even set up!?! So done with bobbit law!
