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.

Awesome Attorney!!!

Attorney Kouliev was awesome! We were were up against a criminal charge that was a total accident/misunderstanding, but the odds were against us! Mr. Kouliev came into our hearing and spoke so well on our behalf and helped the odds turn in our favor! He suggested we take an online class that we were ...unsure about, but he was right because the court highly appreciated and respected that we took it and learned from it! From the very beginning his services were very prompt and professional. He is completely electronic so be prepared for that, but if you understand law you’ll learn that it’s benefit to have everything in writing! We were so stressed about our case, but the stress went away as soon as we hired him knowing he was taking care of us! He is very knowledgeable and educated on Hawaii law and we are so grateful to Attorney Kouliev for helping us with our case!

Damir helped me achieve the outcome I desired

I had a speeding ticket in Maui that I needed help with. As someone with a good driving history otherwise, I didn't want this to impact my record. Damir helped me on a mitigation hearing with the court and put together a case that helped its dismissal.

Traffic case was dismissed!

Damir A. Kouliev did an excellent job handling my case. He provided me with great guidance and representation. His expertise and guidance helped my case to be dismissed. He was also able to get my attendance waived seeing as I live in another state. His communication was prompt and thorough. I apprec...iate the time and effort Damir invested in my case which ended up with a positive resolution for me. Thank you Damir!
