Effective, Professional and Affordable

I'm from Los Angeles and was charged in Arizona with criminal speeding. This would've been a misdemeanor on my record and would've required me to return to Sedona from LA for the court proceedings which would've meant taking a couple days off work since Sedona is about 6 hours away from LA. It was... going to be a huge headache. I called the Glazer Law Office and they got back to me within the hour and Sophia was assigned to my case. They represented me in court so I didn't have to travel and got my ticket reduced from criminal speeding to a simple civil charge. Sophia and the whole staff were professional, prompt, and effective. They kept me informed every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. This was the first (and hopefully the last) time I've had to hire an attorney and I would highly recommend Sophia and the Glazer Law Office.

Above and beyond

Sophia went above and beyond as my attorney. Even before I hired her, she listened to my situation, even calling me back at 10 pm! She seemed to genuinely care and show interest in some of the technicalities. She eased my worries and was always prompt answering any and all questions. In the long run ...I am very glad I hired her. All three of my charges were dropped!!!

Very Impressed

I was cited for criminal speeding on the 17 N. I promptly contacted several lawyers the next morning. Many of which either wanted to charge me for a consultation, took a day to call me back, wanted to charge considerably more, all while saying that they believed it was going to be difficult to get th...e citation reduced to a civil infraction. When I called Ms. Augeri's office, I was immediately transferred to her and spent over 30 minutes discussing my case. She laid out an in depth plan of attack, right on the spot and was not only pleasant, but very thorough and intelligible throughout. After having contacted the other lawyers, I felt most comfortable going with Ms. Augeri. I was not disappointed. I was very impressed with the amount of time and effort that Ms. Augeri and her staff spent with me and my case. They gave me constant updates at every step and were always available and prompt in answering any and every question that I had (and I had a lot). Moreover, Ms. Augeri was able to get me the judgment that I wanted, thus saving me from a criminal record and a ridiculous insurance price hike. I would also like to add, that this was all while I was in another state and never had to return to AZ for any of the proceedings. I am truly appreciative of the hard work that she put in and cannot thank her enough. I would not hesitate to use her again, although I hope I never have to.

Extreme DUI/Red Light Violation

In July 2014, I was arrested in Flagstaff, Arizona for extreme DUI and a red light violation. Embarrassingly, this wasn't my first DUI. I phoned Sophia on a Sunday evening and spoke briefly. She reassured me and discussed the attorney fee. I met her the following day and went over options. Even thoug...h I moved out of state, she stayed in constant communication with me. Being honest, yet comforting in all matters. She never made me feel like I was a nuisance or a bother. She would promptly return phone calls or emails. The outcome was better than I could've ever hoped for. I would recommend and encourage you to hire Sophia. You will not be disappointed.
