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.

Dismissed Ticket!

Very quick response, worked on my case quickly. Aside from not being kept in the loop until the date the ticket was dismissed, I am definitely able to say I am happy with this attorney. I will gladly utilize his services again if I ever need to. I'm hoping to not get anymore tickets, but if I do, he'...s the guy to go to!

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.

Traffic ticket representation was smooth, painless, effective. sort of like a good laxative.

What is there to say. Business-like. No hassle. Set expectations up front and carried through at without need for me to spend time on the matter. I'd use him again and recommend him.

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.
