No need to look further. THIS is the firm you want to hire.

I got a ticket for speeding in Ritzville and was recommended to Christal Lam. The process was super easy and nice. They asked me what I was hoping to have happen with my ticket, then laid out the possible outcomes and what was involved with each scenario. As well as what would probably happen. They w...ere able to remove my ticket from my record which was my desired outcome. Very pleased with how they handled it and the amazing communication and quick responses with their staff. Would recommend and would use again. 10/10.

They take care of everything!

I am so grateful Christal Lam was able to protect my driving record. I was told by the officer I would need to appear in court in order to challenge the ticket. Living on the other side of the state made this formidable. However, Christal’s office said they would take care of everything, from securin...g a court date to appearing on my behalf. And they did just that! Adrienne was wonderful and kept me informed as the court date approached. The entire process was smooth and had a positive outcome. I couldn't be more pleased with my representation!

Traffic Ticket

I had an excellent experience working with this attorney and their team. They were able to get my traffic ticket completely off my record, which saved me a lot of stress and potential costs. From start to finish, the process was smooth and professional. The team was incredibly helpful, always keeping... me updated and answering any questions I had quickly and clearly. Their communication was top-notch, and I truly felt like they cared about my case. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and effective legal representation. They exceeded my expectations in every way!

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.
