Review W Phipps

Car accident

Posted by

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 professional, 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

Posted by

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.

My dad turned me on to the help of Mr. Phipps. He has used him for years. Andy has alway come thru for me and my family. Tickets - gone-poof! It is a little pricey, but very well worth it. I recommend him highly.

Fantastic, efficient, responsive, hassel free & a big relief

Posted by

I contacted Sheila and Andrew for assistance with a speeding ticket received in a variable speed zone outside of the city area only a few days before payment was due. Shelia explained the process & associated costs. I handed the issue to them & they took it from there. The end result is I keep my record clean which was a huge relief.

Great Service!

I got a DUI about a year ago and it devastated me and my life. Andy, was compassionate, knowledgeable and got me a very good deal. I made some bad choices and he helped me clear them up. I will always appreciate the way he handled my case. His paralegal was awesome too!

Got my speeding ticket dismissed with no hassle on my part. I sent him a check for his work, a copy of the ticket, and two months later the ticket went "poof".

No one knows traffic court like Andy Phipps knows traffic court.

He is well known throughout the state of Washington because while maintaining his office in Bellevue, WA, he assists and defends matters throughout the entier state. I highly recommend Andy for criminal defense services and the defense of traffic infractions.
