Pleased Client

I contacted Ross to consult on a traffic infraction that I had incurred which could have left me with misdemeanor charges therefore effecting my status at work. Ross walked me through the implications of such charge and his process in addressing the issues at hand. By engaging Ross I found him to alw...ays be very clear and responsive in answering all of my questions. I am happy to say that Ross kept my expectations in check and over delivered in the result of my case. Ross was ultimately able to reduce my charges to no points on my record and a minor violation in which I had to pay $121.00 for an initial charge that could have ultimately but me in jail for a short period if I had represented myself in court. I would recommend Ross to anyone who has found themselves in a traffic predicament.

Excellent Lawyer

I could not more highly recommend Ross Koplin if you have a serious traffic matter. I was charged with 28 points of violations, including two hit and run allegations arising out of the same event. Ross represented me both at the meeting with the DPD and in court. Ross succeeded in getting all of t...he charges dismissed - all 28 points. He has a strong knowledge of the law and, more importantly, a very strong knowledge of the traffic/criminal process and how to maneuver through it.

I Would Highly Recommend Ross Koplin

Ross Koplin was a huge help on my traffic case. He is highly professional, kept me up to date on the case, always listened to my concerns, spent the extra time and effort in working with the DA to come to a more than reasonable conclusion and came through in helping me keep my license. What impressed... me the most was that he always answered the phone - I was never sent to voice mail or had to wait for a response - something hard to find in this day and age. I would highly recommend Ross Kolpin. I feel lucky to have found him. I can't say Thank You enough!

Trustworthy, efficient, and friendly.

I hired Ross this early fall, 2013, to represent me for a pretty fast speeding ticket, but had what felt like a bogus reckless driving charge and obstructed windshield charges attached to it (ticketing officer felt it necessary to throw the book at me, surprised I didn't get a "crooked license plate"... ticket too) . After initially consulting Ross over the phone, I decided it would be best to have representation given the possible punishment for my traffic offense considering my driving record. Everything was convenient and Ross was able to get back to me in a very timely manner and discuss the in's and out's of what I was being charged with. Before the court date, Ross was able to answer all of my questions through my phone calls and e-mails. Communication was great and I was always in the loop. Ross went over a couple different scenarios and explained to me what I can expect from the courts given my situation/history. Ross came back with a plea deal that I thought was very fair and my charges were reduced beyond what I was expecting. I would highly recommend Ross, he is thorough, patient, friendly, and brought me results I was very pleased with.

Highly Recommend Ross!!

I received a speeding ticket (25+) and what I thought was an unfair reckless driving charge. I attended the first hearing representing myself and the court was not very sympathetic so I became very worried. My case was continued and I found Ross through an internet search. Ross replied quickly, was e...xtremely professional, and handled every aspect of the case. The charges were dramatically reduced well beyond my expectations. What I paid in lawyer fees will be recouped due to a very low fine and insurance savings! I highly recommend Ross.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I engaged Ross by phone to represent a family member in Colorado. I interviewed three attorneys by phone and Ross was by far the most impressive and responsive. I had done some preliminary research into the issues and he freely discussed he thoughts with me prior to retaining him. He got a tremendous resolution of the case, the charge reduced to a very minor non-criminal traffic offense. He was easy to reach, responsive to emails and phone calls and an all around great counsel. I knew my family member was in good hands. He has my unqualified endorsement."
