Photo Radar case dismissed

Alden did a great job with my photo radar ticket. I was charged with photo radar in Scottsdale. I didn't want to deal with insurance hikes. He told me these cases aren't easy to dismiss if the photo is clear. He was honest when he told me that I could lose prior to hiring him but that he would do his... best. He called me after the court hearing and told me it was dismissed. Thanks Alden.

Business set up

Alden is a very helpful attorney. He helped me set up my business. There are many rules in arizona which are different from my home state. I'm really glad I chose him as he took care of all my needs.

Negotiated a plea deal for me

Prosecutor didn't budge in my case. I had a few misdemeanor charges that would result in some jail time. I was wrong in this case. The prosecutor kept giving me a bad plea and I didn't want to hire a lawyer because of the cost. But I decided to hire a lawyer and chose Alden after talking to him twice.... I don't know what he did but he got a better deal. I got no jail time and most of the fees were waived. Really appreciated your help man.

Speeding Tickets

Thank you from the Morey Family! Alden has helped us with many speeding tickets. We were worried about our insurance going through the roof so we hired a lawyer. Found Alden through a referral and went with him. He's awesome.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
