Posted by Nathaniel Belo | February 03, 2010 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Great Traffic Infraction Lawyer!

I was referred to Bill from my Microsoft buddies back in the 90's because he supposedly defended Bill Gates II. I used him for a speeding ticket and negligent driving. He is awesome, but since he is now part of the largest law firm in the state and his focus is now on intellectual property it is fi...scally prohibitive for me to hire him for a lowly speeding ticket because his rates have more than doubled. His invoice stated "$... to fight the evil forces of speeding." ;) I am now knowledgeable enough to fight my own traffic infractions pro se.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
