BEWARE!!!!!!

Worst firm ever. Hired them $180 had 3 court appearances and they never showed up. Hung me out to dry the day of my trial by jury.....never showed up. Took my chances and was found guilty. Thanks.

Posted by Deborah henderson | June 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Wasted my money

I hired him for a speeding ticket 2 years ago. They are bad communicators. The email address I was given changed when they employee left, so even tho I was told to communicate through it, I had no idea Noone was cheking them. Finally it's time for court and a rude lady was snapping out instructions t...o everyone, an attorney!, we were encouraged to pay the fines, or risk losing a jury trial and paying much more. Several with multiple tickets either got off or paid far much less than me. I had a very clean driving record and was not speeding far over the posted limit. She said it was my fault because I didn't have enough bad tickets to give her a way to make a deal. ? I feel that knowing this from the start, they should not have taken my case or money. I could have taken defensive driving and kept my record clean, spent less money and gotten a discount on my insurance to boot. Never again! One speeding ticket in 40 years of driving! I have tried repeatedly to contact them and two times I was promised a return call, but never received one. Usually they direct me to send an email or leave a message. They only talk to new clients, once they have your money, they are done with you! Their website boasts of how many they've "served." Don't be fooled. Google their reviews to get a full picture of how well they do. They may have had that many clients, but notice it doesn't say "satisfied"! They won't let me review them. I wonder why?

Terrible Lawyer

I hired this firm for two traffic tickets in Fort Worth. They had me pay them over $400 to get the warrants dropped, and to represent me. They then sent me a letter that said both tickets had been dismissed. I wake up today and find out that I have two warrants out, for those same two tickets exactly... what I already paid them for. Apparently the dismissed letter was sent by accident, and I had a court date August 5th, that they did not tell me about, essentially stealing my money, and leaving me high and dry, with the same tickets back in warrant status. Did not notify me, did not even bother to make a simple phone call to tell me anything before, or after the fact. Do not use these people. Blatant lies, confusion, and utter incompetence. Now I get to start all over for these tickets, and pay all this money again to take care of it. When I spoke with them, they basically told me since I missed the court date I was unaware of, to kick rocks, and that they couldn't help me. Absolutely ridiculous. Learn from my mistake, and hire someone that will actually do their job, and not rip you off.

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.
