Speeding in a school zone

Michael was a referral from another traffic lawyer who doesn't handle tickets in the jurisdiction where our infraction occurred. Michael was very responsive and answered all of my many questions in timely emails (usually within 12 hours). He told us he would handle everything and there would be no ...need to show up to our court date. He did just that and the infraction was dismissed. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a traffic infraction lawyer.

Impressed Once Again

Mr. Sheehan has now handled 5 traffic related cases for me and has been 100% successful on each and every one. He keeps me informed of the case, answers any questions I might have, and most important of all, is successful in the court room. I have recommended Mr. Sheehan to many co-workers and friend...s, all of whom have been equally satisfied with his work. I definitely plan on using him again in the future! -Chad Douglas

Happy So Far

I'm currently employing Mr. Sheehan's firm to contest a traffic ticket. I've called his office a couple of times and always gotten answers to my questions right away. Everyone there comes across as brisk and efficient. I attended my hearing to observe (though I wasn't required to) and the attorney... from Mr. Sheehan's firm took me aside to explain my options. There was a minor technical error with my ticket but he didn't feel good about the odds of winning on that basis. He wasn't familiar with the judge presiding (she was pro tem) so he spoke to some other attorneys in the courtroom who were familiar with her and they confirmed his feeling. He also conferred with Mr. Sheehan on the phone. After speaking with me again, he had the ticket set aside for another date when hopefully the situation will be more favorable. Overall I am happy with the way he got the lay of the land, explained my options, and kept them open for me.

Nothing but 5 stars from me!

I had never used Michael Sheehan before but got a reccomendation from a friend so I thought I would give him a try. I was so used to waiting days to hear from other attornys but mike would respond to my phone calls and emails himself as well as in a timely manner. he was very professional and explai...ned everything to me. It was so simple and made me feel very good about the process. he got my neg 2 driving ticket off completely!

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.
