Great assistance!

I thought I had no recourse when I received a ticket in E. Washington for driving over 20 in a school zone (I had gone one way before school got out and returned when it had so I did not notice the change). She offered to assist and using her expertise she was able to get my ticket completely excuse...d. It was painless and easy and worth the effort for sure. Lisa knows what she is doing and takes the time to review all the options and possible outcomes. Seems as if she works really hard to keep up with things all over the state and not just in Seattle area.

Speeding Ticket Seattle

I used this lawyer for a speeding ticket. I have no tickets on my record. They made a plea deal that was the same deal that I could have got if I called up the precutting attorney myself. The only problem is I paid 300 dollars for their services. It was a waste of money. My advice is to use some...one else that would go the extra mile.

Lisa gets excellent results

I've had Lisa represent me twice in the past two years (both times for speeding tixs). Both times she completely handled the situation. I didn't have to take time off of work to go to court or anything. And both times the tickets were dismissed. Bottom line Lisa gets the job done. Excellent r...esults.

Cost twice as much as the original ticket.

I contacted Lisa after reading favorable reviews about her online. She was very organized, and seemed knowledgeable, I received my informational packet just a few days after sending her the check for her fee. I felt pretty confident about not attending court with her, but now wish I had been there. T...he fee for my speeding ticket was $274, since it was in a school zone (I was driving under the posted limit but did not notice the school zone sign). Lisa worked out a deal with the prosecutor that they would drop the speeding ticket, cite me for a seatbelt violation (even though I was wearing my seatbelt), and I would have to attend traffic school. The traffic school costs $175. The seatbelt ticket costs $101. I now owe $276 in fees, which added to the $275 lawyer fee doubles my cost for the ticket. Lisa says that the seatbelt violation is good because then it won't be reported to my insurance company, but I doubt my insurance would have added up to the fees I am now paying. I wasn't even given a phone call about the results of the hearing, just a letter. The most frustrating part for me is that she has described this as a favorable resolution, and I do not seem to have any recourse in the matter. It's a hard lesson to learn, and I wish I would have done more research and not hired a traffic lawyer.

Replied last April 03, 2008

I think this review treats Lisa unfairly. I have seen Lisa in court many times and I know that if Lisa felt she could have gotten the ticket dismissed, she would have. A $274 school zone ticket probably means you were driving at a speed far in excess of the posted limit. Insurance companies gouge you for that. It's not unusual for your insurance to increase about $60/month for ONE de minimus infraction, which translates to $2160 over the course of the next 3 years, and only for that infraction that would be on your record. You also get to keep your record clean and not have demerits that count against you for suspension and revocation purposes. So while it sounds like you're losing money on the deal - you're complaining that you're out $276 in costs and $275 in fees - a total bill of $551 - it will only take you months to save that on your insurance. Because yours is a serious infraction (high number of miles over the posted limit), you're probably netting more than $1600 on the deal that Lisa got you. You should be thanking her rather than spanking her on avvo. Any good traffic attorney will tell you that you got a good deal.

Client Review

Lisa was very professional. The moment I contacted her she told me what to do. From there on out she sent me a letter describing everything that I needed to do and what she will do. There was no gray area. From there on out she took care of my traffic ticket. Lisa ended up getting my speeding ticket ...dismissed so I would HIGHLY recommend her :) She's a very thorough and genuine person and I will most definately go to her if I get anymore tickets.
