Posted by Christine Lê | December 29, 2011 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

VERY HAPPY, GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Hieu Vu is an absolute OUTSTANDING attorney. I contacted Mr. Vu regarding 6 moving violations I received within the past 14 months and he was extremely responsive, detail oriented, quick and very concerned with my legal troubles. Very knowledgeable! ALL 6 of my TICKETS WERE DISMISSED. 3 speeding tic...kets, 2 non moving violations and another red light photo enforced ticket. I am a major sales manager for a stressful company on salary that requires I work 10 hours daily, 6 days a week. My position requires that I travel from North Los Angeles to South Orange County. Many of those hours on the road, in traffic, 405/5/101 north, south, you name it, I've been speeding and upset on it. I have tickets from the cities of Santa Ana, Westminster, Compton, Inglewood, Hawthorne and El Segundo. Ridiculous record, indeed I KNOW! For those of you who know of these cities and have been pulled over know law enforcement aka COPS AREN'T FORGIVING! To top things off, I have a reallly fast, red car with an actual lisc plate that obviously says BYEEEEE(which clearly makes it obvious of my guilty speeding woes toward enforcement) but SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY HE MADE ALL 6 TICKETS DISAPPEAR!!!!Half of these tickets were failure to appears and my CA drivers license was even suspended. Many of you go browsing on this website in search for an answer or a loophole, some of you find it, some of you don't but all I know is that Mr. Vu seriously is the SOLUTION to your drunken, (or sober) speeding, traffic violations!!!! I'm a busy professional but with the help of Hieu Vu, I never had to step foot into a courtroom or even have an ounce of worry. Speeding has been an issue for me for the past decade I have far too many tickets and torque (one more pending) but I am beyond grateful that I've been referred to such an amazing attorney!!! My friend also has several tickets and Mr. Vu has had such a successful removal rate of her tickets as well. If only I knew of his services 5 years prior, I would have a spotless record and $4,568 more dollars in my wallet. He set the expectations of each trial for me, he explained and communicated everything in a way that was very very easy for me to understand. No headaches, no stress, no worries... Hieu Vu took care of my business. He's extremely responsive, through and he listened to all my concerns without judgement. I was well informed before and after each court session. HE MADE EVERYTHING WORK OUT IN MY FAVOR! He saved me time, money and headaches! I'm grateful to still have my drivers license and not be in jail or riding a bicycle. Mr. Hieu under promised the success rate of my violations but OVER DELIVERED. Everything worked in my favor and for that, I am GRATEFUL and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Hieu Vu.

Expungement

I contacted Hieu Vu regarding a misdemeanor I received while in college as a bartender. I explained to Hieu that I was having difficulty finding employment due to this conviction and hoped to get it expunged. Hieu was attentive to my needs and communicated with me on a regular basis. He was especiall...y good at responding in a timely manner and quickly took care of my conviction, wiping it clean from my record! Shortly after, I found employment. Since this incident, I have also referred Hieu to family and asked for his assistance in other legal matters (running a red light photo ticket). I believe it is worth anyone's time to contact him regarding any legal matter.

A total life saver!

Attorney Hieu Vu was on point with my DUI defense - mistakes happen and this one was huge on my part but Hieu Vu was extremely knowledgeable when it comes to DUI defense; Highly Recommended!

Posted by Arthur | June 26, 2011 | DUI & DWI

Competent

I thought I would never drive again after I was arrested for a DUI. Hieu Vu was able to have my case thrown out of court based off of faulty police records, and my driving record was saved!
