About Jahnis
Biography
As an attorney with over 30 years experience, I have defended many thousands of criminal traffic cases, including DUI, DWLS, Hit and Run, Reckless Driving and Negligent Driving 1st Degree matters as well as all types of non-criminal traffic infractions such as Negligent Driving 2nd Degree and speeding with a high rate of success for my clients. I enjoy going to court and fighting for my client's rights to get the best possible results under the facts and circumstances of each case so that my client's license and insurance records are protected. Each case is different and unique and so I give every case I defend the individual attention needed in order to present the best possible defense based upon a thorough analysis of the facts of each case, the applicable law and any other factors. I also defend Department of Licensing (DOL) hearings in license suspension, revocation and Habitual Traffic Offender (HTO) cases. I have also had very good success in defending clients with several outstanding past criminal traffic cases with bench warrants and probationn also work with CDL drivers and defend violations of their driving offenses, including overweight, no CDL license and DOL violations and DOL hearings with great success.

I have had the pleasure of hiring Mr Abelite 3 times over the past few years. Due to speeding tickets and wanting to keep my insurance payment down.

Great guy and very effective
Got me off on a bad speeding ticket in the Islands in 2013. Never met him and he did all the work and went to court without me having to go anywhere (I live in Seattle). He knows their court systems in and out. It's so worth it to fight your speeding ticket. Thanks and I hope I don't have to ...

Satisfied client
I haven't had a speeding ticket in 15 years or so. When I got one for 13 miles over, i contacted Abelite, got it knocked down to nonmoving violation. So for a bit extra no points on my driving record!
