Great attorney

Damir Kouliev was easy to work with and responded quickly. He let me know what I should do to help with my court case. He was able to reduce my violation to a lesser charge.

Roadshow maui attorney salesman

Was told my story was stressful and unpleasant. If you’re dealing with a traffic ticket he gives you advice for 100$ doesn’t actually represent you so don’t get it twisted, it’s not a flat fee representation. He’ll assert that he wasn’t planning on representing you, easy tick for lawyers to make mone...y. Save yourself the 100$ and use ChatGPT. AI is going to replace lawyers anyways. Just a matter of time. Don’t bother with roadshow attorney salesmen

Case was dismissed!

I highly recommend Damir Kauliev. When I was looking for legal counsel for a citation, I called a few law firms, but Damir’s firm responded immediately with an automated email allowing me to schedule an appointment. The other firms took about three days to get back to me. From the start, he told m...e, “Don’t worry, I got this—you don’t need to stress out anymore.” And he meant it. He kept everything simple, clear, and easy to follow, which was exactly what I needed in that moment. He even sent me a bullet-point list of what I needed to do—no overcomplication, no unnecessary stress. He just handled everything, kept me informed, and made sure I didn’t have to worry. Thanks to him, my case was dismissed, and I can finally breathe easy. If you need a lawyer who knows what they’re doing, keeps things simple, and gets the job done, Damir is the one to call. Mahalo again for everything!

Damir Got My Ticket Dismissed

I was visiting Hawaii during the summer, and rented a car to drive up to Mauna Kea to check out the observatories. Afterwards, I was driving back, late, down the deserted highway, on a downhill section. There's a part where it goes from 60 to 40, for no good reason IMHO. I missed the sign noting the ...change, and my car's GPS had it at 55 (yeah, yeah the legal limit is the sign). Anyways, a cop was sitting with a laser gun, and got me. I thought it was kinda bogus, so I wrote a letter contesting the charge (as suggested by the cop). That failed, so after consulting the interwebs, decided to hire a lawyer. Damir was the only lawyer on that island that I could find, so I went with him. Note that for the fee, he would negotiate with the State and attend one NON-trial Zoom hearing. Which was fine, since I was hoping to plead down to a non-moving violation for insurance reasons, and was pretty sure I would lose a real trial. We communicated via text and email, and I sent him copies of all the paperwork I had and later received. There was supposed to be some sort of pre-trial hearing before the actual trial, but the day before, the State cancelled it and converted it into a trial a month later. Not clear how that's OK, but whatever. So a few days before, I checked in with Damir to figure out what to do, because, again, the fee did not cover a trial. He got back to me later that day saying the prosecution agreed to drop the case! Mission accomplished and I was happy to have it off my record. Note that I had to handle communicating with the court administrative staff, especially with the non-trial to trial conversion. However, I suspect it kept the bill low, so I good with that. I'm sure some people are going to say that I broke the law and should have just sucked it up. Well, following the law, I hired an attorney and won by their rules. Anyways, if you've seen this review on other sites, it's because I posted it on multiple sites, and there's no way I'm writing site specific reviews.
