Delivered results

I had a speeding ticket, for which I needed assistance. Arag referred me to John D Black, and I am glad that they did. I called him once and he informed me that he will take care of it and I should get a mail once the hearing is done. 2 weeks later I received the mail which said that the ticket was d...ismissed. I would recommend contacting him via phone during business hours.

Did the work but horrible communication

I contacted John to help me with two traffic violations I received in Clallam County. I spoke to John twice over a period of 4 months, even though I called dozens of times trying to get everything sorted. His secretary would always tell me, "ill have John call you" and then never did. I made three at...tempts to pay him, though because of the poor communication he has between himself and his secretary she was trying to way over charge me for the service which John and I discussed a price. I did not hear from John for almost a month after my hearing had taken place, in which time I had no idea whether or not he appeared or if I had a warrant out for my arrest because he did not. After almost a month I got a letter in the mail explaining the results of my hearing. He was able to get the traffic violations dropped or deferred, and that is the only reason he gets two stars. The price was fair and the service was done but if you have something more serious and need an attorney that actually talks to you, hire someone else.
