Traffic Light Ticket

Jon is knowledgeable and understands how the court system works. He is a good traffic lawyer. My only frustration is that the first appearance at the court he didn't seem to have prepared or read the case, so he would postpone the court date for another time. I felt that it would have been a much ...better experience if he would have studied the case and find out who the judge is before hand, such that I don't have to waste one travel. On the actual court date, he was able to negotiate for "inattention" so that it won't show up on my traffic record but I still have to pay for the ticket. I think he has done a good job.

This review brings up some very good points. It's always important to retain an attorney far in advance of the hearing so that the attorney can read and prepare the case BEFORE the hearing. Often, it is impossible to obtain copies of tickets days or weeks in advance of the hearing if the client retains the attorney rather late in the process (less than a few weeks before the hearing). Sometimes, the attorney only has a choice of obtaining copies at the last minute or not taking the case at all. When an attorney accommodates a last-minute client, sometimes the most prudent course of action is a continuance to another date. Also, judges change at the last minute because of illness, vacations, calendaring of cases, and other matters. We attorneys have no control over this. As a result, attorneys often don't know who the judge in a particular case will be until the day of the hearing. We do try our best to prepare with the information that's available.

I didn't have to do a thing!

I called because my hearing was set for the same day as a wedding I was a bridesmaid for. He said to just send him the information and he would take care of it. I was taken care of five days before the hearing. It was a huge stress relief!!

Well prepared

John was well prepared for my unsafe lane travel ticket. I expected that the court would drop it based on a glaring error by the state trooper who filled out the ticket but I consulted his services to play it safe. Not only did John come ready to exploit the errors on the ticket but he thoroughly r...esearched the accident and was prepared to represent my case based on the actual events to show I had not committed the infraction. He is also a very friendly person who I would recommend to anybody

On two-hours notice Jon was able to take over my ticket!

I only gave Jon two-hours notice (the phone conversation at 8:00 a.m. went something like, so I decided to contest my traffic ticket and the contested hearing before the judge is at 10:00 a.m. and I forgot all about it so now I have a scheduling conflict and I really can't afford to go to the hearing... plus I do not know what to say, what do I do?). Even on such short notice; however, he went to court on my behalf and succeeded in getting the ticket dismissed. He is smart and funny and put me totally at ease so I recommend him and will call him again should I ever get stuck in a traffic ticket mess.

Smooth

I was reffered to Jon by another attorney. My experience with Jon was smooth. I callled him and explained my situation (speeding tix). He gave me a qoute, I paid, and he took care of the rest. My ticket was dismissed and I never had to leave my office.
