Posted by Rich | February 18, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Traffic Ticket - Speeding in a school zone.

I received a speeding ticket in a school zone in Utah that was charged as a misdemeanor. Although I had slowed down before reaching the crosswalk, I was still cited. At the time, I didn’t fully understand how serious the consequences could be for my driving record and other aspects of my life. Knowin...g I was at fault, I assumed I had no real options. That’s when I reached out to Joseph Jardine for help. He took my case and successfully negotiated a plea in abeyance, which means the charge will not appear as a conviction on my record and no points were added to my driving record. He also helped reduce my fine by half. My only remaining obligations are to pay the reduced fine and avoid any similar violations during a six-month probationary period. The legal and financial consequences I was able to avoid are significant—likely amounting to thousands of dollars. I feel incredibly relieved and am very grateful for his assistance. I highly recommend Joseph Jardine.

Absolutely Amazing Lawyer

Joseph is one of the smartest people around, he is so smart in the way he goes about his cases and he makes things so stress free. He does exactly what he says he's going to do and more. He took my case which could've hurt me very badly for a long time, but after 6 months, I'll have a clean record. Y...ou are in good hands if you choose to go with Joseph.

Traffic case

I had a traffic case that needed to be resolved professionaly and timely. The law offices of Joseph Jardine far exceeded my expectations. I am extremely satisfied with the results they were able to produce for me as my driving career is my means of providing for my family. If I ever have any further ...issues I will ABSOLUTELY hire them again. Many thanks to their team and to Joseph.

Wasn't there when I needed him the most

My father told me to hire Jardine after I got arrested and sadly I did. He was ten minutes late to my court hearing and didn't come prepared as promised. Albiet, I want to provide him with 2 stars. One for allowing me to sign up on a realistic payment plan (thank you) and the other for 'convincin...g' me he was a standout lawyer promising to advocate for me. Unfortunately, the latter didn't happen. When I confronted him about the work he was supposed to do before arriving to court (reviewing police tapes of my arrest to make sure protocol was followed, I know this bc he confessed he didn't do the research) to my surprise, he offered me a discount for a future hire. As if I would be returning! Save your time+money. I wouldn't recommend him if you need a real lawyer to go to bat for you in court. Nevertheless, uber friendly staff.

Not your best interest in mind only his pockets

If you want to spend a lot of money and get very little in return this is the lawyer for you. I hired Joseph and ended up having to fire him in the middle of my sentencing, costing me time, money, and a ton of stress. Two people working for him who I was working with during my case left, leaving hi...s brother to come in and do most of the leg work. I remember his brother came to talk with me about my case because Joseph didn't have time and the other lawyer I was working with left for another firm. I was charged for his brother's drive time and for him to read over my discovery for what seemed like the first time in front of me while I sat there wondering who he was and where the attorney was that I hired. (I was charged at a rate of $150/hr for his brother) Do your research and avoid Joseph and his brother.

Replied last August 01, 2016

This comment is impossible to respond to. I have not had ANYONE leave the firm in over a year and a half. My brother has not worked for me since 2014. And the comment seems directed towards him not me. Furthermore, I have not had any lawyers leave "for another firm" in over 8 years. So I am confused as to what Adam is talking about. Call me "Adam" and let's discuss your case. At least post your last name if your review is accurate.

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 26

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Joseph and I have worked on matters over the years. He is a zealous advocate, and not afraid to challenge the prosecution at all. He is also a great friend. When I first started my practice 13 years ago, Joseph, although only being out on his own for a year, encouraged me to give it a shot and hang my own shingle. I had been working for a large firm in Salt Lake, so making the jump to being solo was a little intimidating. But Joseph's confidence was contagious. I soon felt like I, too, could be successful and could make it. Joseph exudes success. Joseph is persuasive not only in arguing legitimate legal authority, he is also persuasive in his body language, in his attitude, and in the positive energy he exudes. Juries pick that up. That is why Joseph is such a successful advocate."
