Avoid - Unhelpful, Unresponsive & Unprofessional

Sophie does not read or respond to her messages and put the onus on me to follow up on the status of my case. I was found guilty on a correctable offense, at least in part, because she failed to read or respond to my messages contained proof of correction. I could have had this resolved myself at the... DMV and would've saved time and money relative to dealing with Sophie. Worst of all, she failed to notify me that I was found guilty! If I hadn't continued to ask for updates I never would have been notified.

I have emailed you so we can discuss this issue in a private setting as I cannot ethically disclose the facts of your case given the attorney/client privilege. You are correct that there was a lack of communication. That being said, I rectified the situation in a timely manner, you were made whole and got a favorable result that only a court can issue, not the DMV. This was a traffic infraction provided to me through a third party company, which is a relationship we are reconsidering given the glitches that we encountered. I appreciate your frankness and experience, but trust that you can appreciate that once we ascertained the breakdown, there were absolutely no negative consequences whatsoever with the exception of your frustration. See you on HW395 under better circumstances. Best.

Extremely Professional

I hired Sophie in order to represent me for a first time DUI offence. Right from the beginning she showed empathy for my situation and proceeded with my situation at a fair rate. Especially compared to other lawyers within the area. It was a very bizarre time trying to deal with my case during th...e pandemic, but she was very responsive when I had questions. She exhausted all options within the law which was very comforting and allowed me to have my summer without the worry of dealing with a dui when I wasn't ready to. I sat in on one zoom ordered court appearance with Sophie representing me. Her poise, preparation, and level headedness was beneficial not only to my case in relation with the judge, but to my well being in thinking I had made the right choice in representation in order to receive a fair ruling. Again, especially compared to the other lawyers there that day. I highly recommend Sophie if you are looking for someone to not treat you like just another case, and also be a boss in the courtroom. I'm very thankful for the work that she did.

Review

I did not believe the charge assigned to me was accurate. Sophie immediately advised me she would not let me enter a plea that did not represent what happened. She hired investigators, acquired evidence, and fought on my behalf. Sophie offered many different alternatives to the District Attorney's ch...arges and sentences. Most importantly, Sophie did not give up. Through dedication and perseverance, she won me the absolute right charge in my case. I was seriously doubting our judicial system. But because of Sophie, I have renewed faith. I am very thankful for her efforts!

Exceptional attorney

Ms. Bidet was contacted to help negotiate a license suspension and speeding violation while driving through Bishop, CA. She took the time to truly listen to the facts, and through her personal association with the court, was able to successfully resolve our case resulting in a fair and just outcome. ...We are very grateful for her exceptional service on our behalf, and would highly recommend her.
