Could not be happier with my experience.
After extensively researching traffic lawyers, I decided to hire Ms. Mucklestone to represent me in a traffic matter (citation related to an accident). Even though I procrastinated and waited until the court date was looming, her office was eager to help. Once I handed over all the pertinent info...

Poor Representation
Jeannie seems to get great reviews from most people, so my review may seem unreasonably negative, however: - 1) She did not win for me (had that been the only issue I just would not have bothered writing this review). 2) She did not take notice of what I believe was significant information in my c...
Jeannie Mucklestone
Replied last November 20, 20091. Gary's 17mph over the limit speeding ticket was amended to a nonmoving violation that will never appear on his driving record. 2. Gary's case was never postponed or delayed. 3. It was my opinion that because the officer said that Gary admitted to going 45mph in a 35mph, which is admitted into evidence against him, his case would have been found committed as a speeding ticket, would have gone on his driving record and would raise his insurance rates. 4. My firm was successful at keeping this off his driving record.

Unaminous judgement- Ms. Mucklestone is the best!
Ms. Mucklestone came highly recommended and after having retained her to serve as legal counsel on two separate occasions (speeding tickets), I am now, myself, in a position to add my own recommendation. She is very professional, timely in providing necessary communication and produces results. Alt...
