Not Impressed.

I received a ticket for possession in eastern WA and I was referred to Mr. Phipps. He failed to show up for my court appearance, instead sending an assistant (without informing me) who was not authorized to negotiate with the court. The only times Mr. Phipps was responsive was when it related to pa...yment, otherwise phone calls consistently went ignored. For the amount of money he charges I expect significantly more than being treated as an annoyance.

Car accident

I was in a serious car accident this summer and unfortunately received a moving violation (as did the other driver). I was very concerned about the potential adverse impact the ticket would have on my insurance rates. Andy came highly recommended and I am so glad I called him. He was highly profes...sional, responsive, and got exactly the result he anticipated (and that I hoped for). If you require a Seattle-area attorney with a specialty in traffic law (speeding tickets, DUI defense, etc.), Andy's your guy!

Defended for speeding infraction

Recently I was successfully defended by Andrew (Andy) for a speeding infraction. It was early in the morning heading West on I-90 during the morning commute (in the commuter lanes). Suddenly when I looked behind me I was being pulled over, then cited for 85mph in a 60mph zone (on the I-90 floating ...bridge). I may have been going a bit fast as my daughter was late for school, but with the morning traffic and morning Metro Busses in the left lane (passing lane) holding up traffic, I couldn't imagine how I (or anyone) could reach 85mph. I have state of art detection equipment (for awareness), so I know there was no radar/laser detection. The officer must have been pacing me? Again with the traffic there wasn't much chance of going that fast. I provided Andrew videos of random days traffic conditions at the same time leading up to the court date and he did the rest. I was looking for a fine reduction, but Andrew was able to achieve a dismissal. I would highly recommend his services in the future. Thank you Andrew.

Wouldnt Go to Anyone else

I post this anonymously only in that I have given Andy way too much business. He has always been responsive, and helps with what seemed the unwinnable. Once 2 speeding tickets in the span of an hour or so, in 2 different counties. He took care of it. He just helped with another that triggers this r...eview. Andrew is without question the only person I go to. Professional. Responsive. Successful. Approachable. I recommend him without hesitation. He has helped me more times than I cant count. Cant recommend him enough.
