Speeding ticket

I was skeptical of hiring an attorney for my case, but after consultation, he did promised me the minimum he could do is to have it reduced to a non moving violation and decided to give it a try … the result was absolutely worth it because he have it dismissed and also waived the fine, its the result... that you couldn’t asked for more..

Incredible help when I’ve needed it

I can’t thank Mr. Shuman enough for helping me with multiple traffic tickets over the years. I am a heavy commuter and we all know how I-5 is. I was most recently involved in an accident, it was called “no-fault accident” by the same police officer who told me that he needed to place someone at fault... despite it truly being no-fault. Why he chose me, when I was technically the one who was hit, is beyond me. Anyway, my history of hiring Stephen Schuman and getting tickets dropped made me run to him once again. I was informed today that he won my case and that I won’t receive any ticket nor will it go on my record. They are friendly, helpful, caring, and SWIFT with responding and communication. I absolutely hate court matters, and I love that he will go to bat for me at a price I can afford without having to face the trauma of going to court myself. I appreciate him and all he and his employees have done for me.

Seamless!

Very professional. I made a call to Schuman Law, paid a fair fee, and that was the last worry I had about my speeding ticket. Highly recommend.

....a good investment

Stephen explained all the "legalese" of all the documents and after signing he took them in to the prosecutor. He didn't stop fighting for me and the prosecutor decided to drop the case. Thank God and Stephen Shuman! Stephen was a good investment for me!

off the hook

Got a speeding ticket that I didn't deserve and hired Shuman to represent me . They are well respected in Thurston county and the ticket was thrown out. Worth every penny.
