Quick replies! saved me from a speeding ticket

I got my second speeding ticket under the Pierce District Court area and I was freaking out because as a minor 2 infractions mean you get your license taken away for 6 months. The first one was in Lakewood and I knew I definitely couldn't fight that one. Although I was not looking at my speedometer a...t the time, I probably deserved the ticket, but I have a job and siblings to drive around so I could not afford to have this on my record. I researched several attorneys and finally decided on Mr. Karmali because I could afford him. I was a little hesitant because of his 6.7 rating but I went for it anyways. I emailed him at 2am on a Saturday night and I woke up to a reply at 8am the next day (whereas other attorneys took 1-3 days). Whenever I emailed him any type of question he almost replied within the hour, if not within 20 minutes! He calmed me down from my frantic state and ensured me that everything would be fine. It was a little annoying that my court date had to be delayed (but it was partially my fault for waiting so long to decide on an attorney). All in all, he notified me that my case had been dismissed right that morning and I am driving safely now :) I highly recommend him, he saved my license and my sanity.

"I honestly couldn't say enough good things about Hussein. He is very experienced, knows the courts, judges, prosecutors, and even many of the officers, and has found ways to get tickets dismissed that other attorney's haven't. I can't imagine another attorney doing a better job at the same time as being as nice and communicative. If you have a ticket in King county, especially on the eastside, you definitely need to contact him!"
