Worst firm ever

I hired this law firm to avoid having a ticket on my record and paying a $300 fee. This scam of a law firm tricked me into paying $150 upfront just to months later agree to a plea without my permission or knowledge and a $375 fine. I could have had a child represent me and do better. The sad thing is... there’s nothing I can do about it

You specifically gave me authority to handle your case with the specific goal of not having this ticket on your driving record. That goal was particularly challenging due to your very high speed. Nevertheless, that goal was achieved. Your ticket is NOT on your driving record, thanks to me!

Waste

I hired this firm in March 2023 after getting a ticket in Buckholtz. I had dashcam footage that proved the officer had his lights on to pull me over about 50 yards before the speed limit sign. The receptionist assured me that it would be dropped. I paid the fee and didn't hear one thing from this fir...m until I received an email and a fine of $234. I called many times in the duration and no one ever helped me or knew the status of my case. When I called in March, I told the receptionist I was in a divorce and had a different mailing address while my case is pending. She updated it and said they would use that to mail me things. I never got a thing. You're better off paying the fine without the lawyer, IMO.

Ryan, I'm very sorry that you could not understand us and had a false understanding of the status of your case. You claimed that you had an outstanding warrant for the citation for which we are representing you. That was false and you know that was false! You participated in the Zoom hearing with me and the prosecutor, who informed you that your case was NEVER in warrant. We have no idea where you got such an outlandish idea. I withdrew from representing you and refunded ALL of your money because it was clear that we could not communicate.

Stay away

In my opinion this law firm is dishonest! do yourself a favor and find another law firm this guy took my money and did nothing for me at the end I was still paying the full fine plus the money I wasted on this law firm

Did nothing I could not have done

The only thing they were confident in was collecting the fee up front after that it seems like they never listen to a word I said can't remember the name of the attorney that actually call the public defender in Duncanville I could have done that I wanted a defense all I got was a plea bargain that I... did not want but had to accept because I don't know how much it would have cost me to win this case but I've even thought my own cases in other cities and towns in Texas and I won this is the first case I have ever lost in my life would not recommend this Law Firm

David, I'm sorry that you were not satisfied with our representation. As you know, you have a commercial driver's license, and therefore, the prosecutor would not offer anything "off record." However, we had other options that we spoke with you about on 08/07/2020. After discussing all options, you chose NOT to take your case to trial and you agreed to accept the offer from the prosecutor. I'm confused as to why you would agree to accept a plea offer that you did not want. If you did not want the plea offer, we could have taken your case to trial, but you refused to do so. We cannot help you achieve a better result if you refuse to move forward with your case. As always, we remain available to discuss this case with you.

  • 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.
