Dont Hire This Attorney

I have a commercial license and was pulled over for speeding in Navarro County. I hired his office to take care of this matter and I never got a letter from him nor heard anything regarding my case, So I decided to contact them to find out what was going on regarding this matter and not one of the se...cretary's had a straight answer other then let me contact the court. upon supposedly contacting the court they came to a conclusion that they referred my case to another attorney that I didn't hire and she entered a plea of no contest without my consent and they found me guilty in pretrial. I asked why they didn't notify me of any of this matters and they couldn't come up with a quick enough answer which told me that they were looking for a lie to throw out. When I asked why they entered pleas on my behalf they said I didn't hire them for a trial which I thought I did but apparently they swear I didn't. When I asked to have the attorney contact me to explain this shady work of unethical practices they stated they would have him call me which I never received If you want to keep things off of your record don't hire this firm because they will not tell you nothing and will just do things that benefit them and not you.

Replied last February 16, 2017

I am sorry you are not satisfied, but lets start from the beginning. You hired our firm, Jack Byno & Associates, not one particular attorney. So it is true one of our associates may have gone to court and not Jack Byno personally. When our attorney went court they worked out the best they could because you hired us to plea your case, not for a trial. we tell all of our client when they retain us for a plea the following: If retained for a plea bargain, I will contact the court and notify them that I am your attorney. The court will respond back to me with a court date. Unless otherwise notified, defendants that retain an attorney normally do not need to appear in court. Your lawyer can do that for you. Our attorneys always look for a legal grounds for a dismissal, but if it is not present we will then seek to plea your case to the best deal available. If your case is not dismissed, I will then try and work out a deal to get you deferred adjudication (probation). The court can deny any request or add conditions to a probation. For example, if you are under 25 years old the State of Texas requires that you take a defensive driving class as a condition of probation. It does not matter if you have done the class in the last year. You can take it multiple times, as a condition of probation. Unless you retain us for a trial, there is no court date that the police officer that wrote the ticket must appear. Please keep in mind the following: just because you may not agree with the ticket, you think the ticket was written incorrectly, or the officer made some mistake, these are not legal grounds for a dismissal. These are trial issues. If you would like a trial we normally charge $500 for a bench trial in the DFW area traffic ticket courts. If your citation was in warrant, you would like a jury trial, or the ticket is in a court outside of our normal coverage area our fees may be more expensive. Obviously, there are never any guarantees to the outcome of a case, but most cases go through the courts without any problems. After, I have worked out the best deal I can for you, I will then send you a letter stating the outcome, how much your court fees are and when to pay them by. My attorney fees are not the court costs. By retaining me you are authorizing me to contact the court and prosecutor on your behalf, negotiate with the State, and sign any documents necessary in relation to the ticket. If you fail to follow my instructions on time then a warrant may issue for your arrest. If you move or change your contact information you must notify me in writing of the changes. If your follow these instructions, then there should not be a problem. You should plan from the moment you retain us for the worst case scenario: you may have to pay your full traffic ticket fine. If you plan for this in advance then you will not have a problem coming up with the money to pay the court. The most common reasons drivers are convicted include, but are not limited to: you are a CDL holder, your violations are deemed excessive by the court, your ticket has gone to warrant, you have multiple violations, you have a bad driving record, etc. We will do our best to negotiate on your behalf. However, there are no promises or guarantees to the outcome of your case. .

Horrible...

Do not waste your time or money on this attorney's office.  They are a scam and don't even fight the ticket.  I could have gotten a better result using a monkey.  My daughter got her first speeding ticket ever while she was out of state traveling in TX (we live in FL) so we did a search and found Jac...k Byno via the web.  Our option was to pay the ticket fine ($184) and elect school to avoid points, or to fight the ticket via an attorney.  Thus we hired Mr. Byno to fight the ticket.  We paid his fee and were told he would be able to likely get her fine reduced and avoid school.  Well, that was a joke.  Basically he got NOTHING DONE.  We ended up having to pay the same fine ($184) and she was required to do the school.  So basically we paid Mr. Byno's fee for nothing.  When we discussed our disappointment with the outcome, NOTHING was offered.  No discount on his fee.  Then, to add insult to injury, we specifically requested that all correspondence be sent to our address in FL so that we could pay the fine and take care of the school.  Instead, they sent the notice to our TX address which we specifically told them not to do.  After calling them they stated they would send the letter to our home in FL since we weren't in TX.  A week later, nothing arrived.  So we called them to ask if they could just give us the payment info so we wouldn't be late and cause more problems.  They stated they would email it.  Four hours later... take a guess... no email.  So we called again.  This time we were told "It's Monday and we are very busy.  You will have the email by the end of the day".  I knew we only had 3 days to mail out the payment and did not want to wait until the end of the day, so I asked the person on the phone if they could just give me the payment information over the phone.  The woman then got a huge attitude and said "Hold please" and then proceeded to hang up the phone on us.  I called back again and someone else answered the phone.  I again asked to get the information as we did not want to wait to mail out the payment for fear of it being late and causing more problems.  No apologies that the prior woman had just hung up on me.  Instead, I was told to "Calm Down".  Finally, after multiple requests and some of the most rude customer service I have ever received, we were sent the email.  Bottom line, you are nothing but a number to this attorney and his staff.  Don't expect any good legal arguments to be made.  First ticket ever for my daughter and they got NOTHING done.  We would have been better off to have just paid the ticket and elected school.  We could have saved paying their fee.  I honestly have no one to blame but myself, because I didn't read these reviews before I hired this bozo.  If I had, I would have passed immediately.  Now, my only solace is in knowing that perhaps I can save some of you the headache of learning the hard way.  Avoid this guy and his rude staff like the plague.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

THEY DO NOT FIGHT FOR ANYTHING AT THIS OFFICE THEY ONLY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN THEY ARE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND WILL ONLY EMAIL YOU AFTER TAKING YOUR MONEY THEY DONT EXPLAIN ANYTHING . TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE NEVER USING THIS POOR EXCUSE OF A COMPANY AGAIN

CDL Holder Helped

I have a CDL and I got caught in a speed trap in Dallas. I drive from coast to coast because I am an over the road driver. I have gotten lots of tickets that I deserved, but not this one. I told Jack Byno I wanted a trial and wanted to fight it. Jack got me a court date and luck for me the officer di...d not show up and the ticket got dismissed. I found Jack Byno to be very professional and willing to help me. I would use him again.

Traffic Tickets

Mr. Byno has handled approximately five to six traffic tickets for me over the past 8 years. It was important that I keep these traffic violations off my driving history and hidden from my insurance coverage. Each violation was handled in a prompt and professional manner. I plan on using the service...s of Mr. Byno in the future and recommend that others consider his services.
