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...ase & effectively deprived me of the opportunity of making a better job of it by representing myself. I believe I have reasonable expectations of traffic attorneys. I know the fee does not buy much of their time. They are only going to take a procedural approach, they are not going research and present a complicated case. Knowing that, I made it clear to Jeannie and her team that I had something I wanted to present to the court myself. Apparently Jeannie's tactics involve a whole lot of postponement and rescheduling, but when it came to the crunch, if all else had failed, I wanted to be in court and I wanted the opportunity to present my own case. After being assured by Jeannie , several times , that I would not be needed in court, I learned that my case had been heard and that I had been found guilty in my absence. I obtained a recording of the hearing and it was clear that the lawyer sent by Jeannie to represent me had nothing significant to say on my behalf. Jeannie may be great at the procedural game, but ultimately failed to act in my best interest.

1. 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.
