Linda is absolutely amazing. I had a traffic ticket, called her and asked a lot of questions. She answered all of my questions every time I call her. she did not even ask me for a fee, yet answered all my concerns with an open heart and a high standard of professionalism.

When you need a lawyer who really cares about you, Linda is the one!

Words cannot express enough my appreciation to Mrs. Linda Iannelli! I have got a motorcycle speeding ticket in last June for 80 mph by Irvine Police Commercial Enforcement Division officer, who really had not business writing a motorcycle ticket, and after few extensions I have filed with the cou...rt without missing any court date, the trail day came on Feb 7th 2013, and the officer did not show up, I should have automatically gotten dismissed, but the court judge refused to do so and granted the police officer an extension without him being there, sited since I had extensions before the trial, it was only fair the cop gets an extension - (But I did not missing my trial date for Goodness sick!) . The judge had given me a new trial date 2 month later (April, 2013). I went back to the court later in February to address the court the case should be dismissed, but the judge had insisted his call and refused to dismiss. That was when I started looking for a lawyer to help me. I had talked several lawyers on the phone, one told me have a good case, but he was too busy, told me to call him a couple weeks before the trial date and then he might be able to help me. I did not want to wait for the last minute. So I kept looking. Another lawyer told me, go to the trial on your own, if you lose, then contact him and he will help you to appeal. That really suck, not only I had to paid the fine if I lose, and I will have to pay him higher fee to appeal which is even harder in win! No way Jose! There were couple of other lawyers who I have left messages with the secretaries and never returned my calls. I finally found Linda's ad on the web. And I called her. She immediately arranged with me a face to face interview. I went to see her on a Saturday, and she seemed to be very knowledgeable with the traffic laws and very personable taking with me. She put me in ease and very straight forward on what she will do for me and what kind result we realistically should expect. She had very high successful rate in traffic court trails, and she really hates to lose. And what really helped me to hire her representing me was she generally cares about me and my case. I felt I can trust her from our interview, so I hired her on the spot. Boy let me tell you, I am so glad that I have made that decision!! Linda had worked diligently, and providing me in every stage what she did and informed what would come next. Not only I felt well informed about the case, but also felt very well educated in every step of the process. In the last stage of the process, I turned out having to make an out of country trip for work and could not be able appear in person to the trail date in person. But she told me she will handle it for me and she will inform me with the result of the trail. So I went on to me trip fairly skeptical. As soon as I returned home, I called her up and wanting to know the trail result. She called me back and told me the court had found me NOT GUILTY!! And she had told me in details how she had fought for me in the trial and pointing out all the inconsistencies that the officer’s video and thus the charge. The judge ended up had to agree with her and found me not guilty. I was elated!! Guys, from my very own experience....if you really need a lawyer who is not only excellent and professional, and who actually really cares - about the client and the case, Mrs. Linda Iannelli is your lawyer! Trust me. You will be glad you have her on your side! A very grateful and happy client, AC

If you want your ticket dismissed at Traffic Court - contact Ms. Iannelli

Ms. Iannelli has the knowledge, the plans, the personality & the passion that are needed to win her cases. Unfortunately the recent Southern California Traffic Court atmosphere is very unfavorable to the drivers. The conviction rate is close to 100% for self-defending drivers & even good lawyers lo...se cases, more with certain judges than with others. Ask people who recently had to go to Traffic Court or if you have free time, sit in for a few afternoon sessions - they alwas have a free chair for spectators. Expect to get shocked how the Officers always win. Not fair, but true. California needs money, ours! I started my speeding ticket case on my own, but when it took an unfortunate turn due to the calendaring mistake of the Court, I contacted Ms. Iannelli to pick up the case. She did & she did so, on a very short notice. She didn’t promise 100% win, but she told me how many cases she defended against particular Citing Officer & against his Agency & the results were promising. She realistically explained that it was a harder than average case, due to specific department being well prepared. My ticket wasn’t too expensive; it was more a principle for me – under no circumstances did I want to lose the case or go to Traffic School. From then on I always felt like a top priority case for her, which I was. Even though she handles many cases due to her excellent records, she takes care all of her clients well. She did everything that needed to be done, like changing the court date, requesting documents from Citing Officer & his Agency, showing up in person in front of the judge a few times, etc. All this time she informed me on the details without me having to request it. She is reachable & personable. She knows exactly who you are, what your case is, where the case is standing; therefore all communications over the phone or via emails are to the point & specific.You never feel rushed to get off the phone. If she is right at the Court, she tells you so & lets you know when you can call her back. She had my case dismissed of which she immediately informed me & I am very thankful. There are many traffic attorneys out there, but if you want to win & decide to hire an attorney, go with the best!
