Best for speeding and traffic tickets

Andrew Nguyen was very communicative, polite, and professional. He responded to every questions I had and gave me reassurance that everything would be okay. I would recommend Andrew Nguyen based on our interaction for my speeding and traffic ticket.

Poor

He's a scoundrel and is against the interests of his clients. I had a case that was impossible to lose. While incarcerated, he refused contact. On the last day for speedy trial, with absolutely no preparation, he asked where I was. Obviously, in jail. I couldn't afford to not plead guilty to bog...us charges filed by the bellevue pd. I was afraid of losing everything if I remained incarcerated any longer. He's a fraud and needs to be criminally prosecuted and locked up permanently. I don’t even think he ever studied law. Pathetic.

really irresponsible

He handled my case 5 years ago. Until recently I found out that I still got a warrant on me which he never bothered to mention to me. After I seek for his help again, he simply does not reply to me anymore.

Failed to Show Up

My complaint is not so much with off the record, but rather the attorney they referred me to. If OTR is going to be a referral service then they need to do a better job of vetting out the attorneys and if they are referring hack attorneys then they need to stand up for what is right and take care of... the customer as I had no involvement on who was selected to represent me. I received a speeding infraction far from where I lived on 5-27-17 and would not be able to attend the court hearing on my own time. I did a google search and found that off the record served the county that I had an infraction in. On 6-1-17 I paid for the service and was assigned Andrew Nguyen based out of Seattle to handle my case. I received an initial email from Andrew the same day sayin he would be happy to handle my case and was sending in my ticket to request a court date. After the initial email about a month had passed without any further communication from OTR or Andrew so I reached out to Andrew Nguyen asking for an update with no response. After that I check some OTR reviews with bad communication being a reoccurring theme, but with positive outcomes being the end result most of the time so I went on with life. Then in mid-September I received a certified letter from the County dated 9-12-17 stating that due to a Failure to Appear in court if I did not pay all fines and fees in full my license would be suspended on 10-19-17. At that time I called Andrew Immediately and left a voice mail about the letter I received. A couple hours later I got a call back from Andrew and he assured me that the letter was a mistake and he would take of it for me. About a week went by without an update from Andrew and I called back asking for an update. He said he was still working on it and will get back to me, I then reminded him that I only had 15 days since the issuance of the letter to respond contesting the letter or I was going to be forced to pay the fine. He reassured me again that he was going to take care of it and not to write in my response to contest the letter. BTW by not responding to the letter as advised by the attorney I affectively gave up an last rights I had at a fair hearing and the opportunity to defer the ticket as a last resort. Another month had gone by with little communication from Andrew Nguyen and I was only a week away from having my license suspended I called Andrew again and asked if he had made any progress with my case and at that time he confessed that he did not. I reminded him that my driving privileges were going to be suspended in a week and his advice to me was not to drive anywhere the next week after the suspension and he would take care of it. At this time I knew I was not dealing with a professional attorney and with no faith in him I was forced to pay the fine and accepting all consequences that came with the infraction (when I was on the phone with the county clerk she confirmed that there was no mistake on the docket Andrew simply did not show up on my behalf). After I paid the fine I full I immediately contacted Off the Record and explained my case at which Mark responded back to me promptly stating he spoke with Andrew Nguyen and he claimed he could still get the speeding ticket fixed. Over the next 6 weeks I checked with Mark who then would check with Andrew with no response coming back I finally demanded my refund which I received on 12-8-17. Because of the gross negligence of the attorney and Off the record not standing behind their referrals or making things right by the customer (me) I am now stuck with over 2k in added insurance premiums over the next several years. If you choose to use off the record you should also do your own research on the attorney that is assigned to you.
