Speeding ticket

Bad experience fighting speeding ticket

1) Drivers in Washington do not receive points on their license because Washington does not use a points-based system. Rather, drivers in Washington can have their license suspended for violations like DUIs, lapses in insurance coverage, or 3 serious offenses in 5 year 2)This does not change the off...ense from a moving violation to a non moving so my insurance is still taking the same hit 3) after speaking with my insurance agent he tells me that the difference in tickets will actually save me $0 on my coverage This deal was made more so to behoove your firm than it was made so on behalf of me (your client). Please consider giving me some sort of reimbursement for this. I think we can all agree that this isnt what happens in most contested hearing situations.

Hired for fighting a speeding ticket but disappointed in the end

My lawyer's approach to my speeding ticket felt like a joke. Instead of providing proper representation, she took an easier route by converting it into a non-moving violation using a fabricated offense. This decision resulted in much higher fines. What's worse, she didn't contest it to lower the pena...lty, leaving me paying around five times more than the original fine including lawyer fees of $250. The lack of communication was frustrating—I wasn't informed about this strategy at all. Had I known, I would've strongly objected. It's clear this move was intentionally aimed at avoiding fee refunds due to the website's (through which I hired here) money-back guarantee. Instead of giving proper representation they settle for such things and call it a SUCCESS! Opting to pay the original fine of $70 could've led to my insurance forgiving the violation, saving me over $500. Overall, this experience was disappointing and lacked the professionalism I expected.

Professional and no work for me!

I received a speeding ticket in a neighboring county. This was my first ticket and I was unsure about what to do. After giving Anna my ticket as well as my contact information, I didn't have to worry about it anymore. Once they got to the resolution point, they reached out to me and explained everyth...ing. They explained that a dismissal was not an option because the police report for my case was airtight, but that they would be able to amend my ticket to a non-moving violation instead of a speeding ticket. This ensured that my insurance did not go up which is exactly what I was hoping for. I have recommended them to everyone I know, and they have all been happy with their results as well.

Highly unprofessional service

I had received a speeding ticket and I wanted to contest as the speed was not measured properly and even the absolute speed was not written on the ticket. Hence, I decided to go with Cutler Law to fight the ticket, however they ended up just asking for a deferral and did not attempt to fight the case.... Washington state allows you to ask for a deferral once in 7 years (You still pay the fine but the ticket does not go on your record unless you get another ticket within a period of 1 year). I was aware of this option and had asked the lawyers here if they would apply for a deferral to which they replied saying "We cannot say anything at this time". Eventually I received a court date and was assuming the lawyer would represent me for my case. But before the court date they already applied for a deferral without even consulting/informing me. Communication with the client is the most basic duty of a lawyer. I did not pay $250 to just have them fill out a deferral form which I could have done myself. Due to the step they took, now I am ineligible to apply for a deferral for next 7 years and also if I get another ticket within a year the deferral is of no use. Highly unprofessional behavior from the lawyer!
