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.

Outstanding job

They were professional and courteous. Promptly responded to my emails and texts and was able to get my case dismissed which was even better"

Incompetent lawyer and staff

I retained Todd Tkach to represent me for a speeding ticket in the City of Grapevine. He appeared and received a deferred adjudication, but then never notified me of this and forgot to send me a notification for show cause hearing to prevent the ticket from going unpaid, and then it went into warran...t. Now, the city will not lift the warrant. I spoke with his office and they admitted to not providing me notice of the show cause hearing. Now, my ticket will go on my record and this guy skated off with my money. DO NOT HIRE THIS DEADBEAT.

Mark you retained me to represent you for an outstanding warrant for a speeding citation in the Grapevine Municipal Court. We posted a surety bond, which lifted the warrant. We then appeared in court for you on April 10, 2017. At that time, we entered a plea, which kept this citation off of your driving record. You claim that we never sent you notice of the plea. However, three days after the plea, on April 13, 2017, we sent you a “Case Over Letter” notifying you of the plea and instructing you on how, where and when to make your fine payment. The Case Over Letter was sent to you by regular mail and email. On that same day, the letter was also uploaded to our online case management system for you to view and a notice that the letter was available for you to view was emailed to you from our computer system. On that same day, we also sent you a text message to your cell phone number informing you that we had resolved your case and instructed you to check your mail, email or login to our system to view the Case Over Letter. So, three days after the plea, we notified you of the result of your case in 4 different ways: 1.) regular mail, 2.) email, 3.) online, and 4.) text message. Unfortunately, you never made your fine payment. For that reason, the court set a show cause hearing for August 17, 2017. On July 7, 2017, the Court mailed you a notice of the Show Cause hearing, instructing you to be in court on August 17, 2017. You did not appear in court and you have denied receiving that notice, as well. As you well know, our representation of you did NOT include representation at a show cause hearing. We didn’t hear from you until approximately October 20, 2017 when you apparently received notice that the court had issued a warrant. At that time, you called us and hired me once again and paid me an additional fee to try to correct your failure to pay your fine. Had we failed to notify you of the original plea, as you claim, why would you call me and pay me an additional fee to correct the problem? We have tried to work with you to solve your problem. I have called you twice today, but you have not taken my calls. However, you did call and talk with one of my assistants, who informed me that you began yelling, used bad language and hung up on her.

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.
