Took my money and disappeared

I have worked with mike for several years, id say he was able to dismiss or even reduce traffic fines about 40% of the time. Three yrs ago mike charged me $400 to "take care" of a $120 speeding ticket that my wife recieved in Cle Elum, which is about an hour or so from his office,, the high price is... understandable. After the hearing he informed me that the ticket was dismissed, which was a lie, because now three yrs later, my wife finds out that her license is suspended for an unpaid ticket, and she was put on collections and the $120 grew to well over $300, the same ticket that he supposedly got dismissed.. I paid $400 for his "service", now will need to pay $300 for collections and whatever it costs to reissue her license. Then i had serious traffic infraction that i paid mike a very hefty sum to take care of, and was informed that the ticket will be resolved. Mike didnt go to court, didnt tell me i was supposed to be there, didnt do anything, then 5 or 6 months down the road a police officer checked my ID and informed me that i have a bench warrant for my arrest for failing to appear to a court date same court date that i had paid mike to go to. i ended up sitting in jail for a day , missing work, and missing time with my family because of his lack of communicating with me. after paying money out of my own pocket to bail myself out, i tried to contact mike regarding this situation, i called him every other day for a month, leaving messages, emails, and voicemail, hoping that he would act like the proffessional that he tries to show himself as and return my call. To this day i havent heard back from him.I'm sure hes a good person but i would never want to work with him again and would not recommend anyone to work with him either

This is a response from attorney Mike Sheehan. All of the allegations contained in this review are completely false. Furthermore, I have no idea who posted this review; why did the author fail to give his/her name? It is difficult to address allegations from a person who won't identify himself/herself. I challenge the author of this review to give his/her name.

Thanks Michael!

I have appreciated MIchaels positive track record in representing us on recent traffic infractions, for myself as well as other family members and friends. Michael has a 100% success rate in managing the court system to dismiss the infraction, having it not appear on our driving record and most impo...rtant, our insurance. Thank you Michael. We appreciate your consistent professionalism, communications and positive results we've received in working with you.

speeding in a school zone

Mr. Sheehan is very easy to deal with. He is cordial, to the point and does just what He says he'll do. In my case He was able to completely dispatch with a 'speeding while in a school zone' ticket that would have quite possibly have made our insurance rates soar & made my husband and I have to see...k seperate insurance companies. I would and will refer anyone with citation situation{s} to Mike and do so knowing that they too will be very satisfied with the results of hisefforts and experience. I extend my grattitude to the friends who refered me and of course to Mike for yet another job, well done. Do not hessitate to call on Mr. Michael D. Sheehan.

Great job by Michael Sheehan

Our 16 year old son received 3 infractions all on one ticket. Michael was referred to us by a friend and we are delighted with the outcome.......all dismissed. He was very clear about his expectation......that they would be dismissed, he was very polite, informative, responsive and efficient. Also h...is rates are very reasonable. My husband then got a speeding ticket, we called Michael and it was dismissed.....best outcome. We will definitely use Michael again and have referred him to all our friends.

Has helped me from Negligent Driving to Speeding

Mr. Sheehan is the best thing that ever happened to me with my driving record. Right after turning 17 or 18 years old I got a negligent driving ticket going to my school. Mr Sheehan was able to get it dismissed immediately. Next it was speeding ticket after speeding ticket. All gone. He never require...d my presence and always let me know how things went. Mr. Sheehan is the best lawyer because he isn't like the normal lawyer and tells you the truth while talking with him. Even now I am 21 and still calling him for small things here and there.
