Moving Traffic Violation

My violation was moved from a major to a minor violation and was very happy with outcome. Explains everything in detail so you understand and there's no hassle for counsel. Represents your best interest and asks you what you would like the outcome to be. Very professional at all times and down to ...earth. I will definitely use her again for any moving traffic violations and will share with family and friends to use. Thank you again Amy

Great

I had 2 traffic ticket for speeding, Amy got one dismissed and the other made a parking ticket. No points on my license. She is very polite very professional. Answered every question I had and some I didn't.

Excellent Service and Highly Recommended

I would highly recommend Amy. She did an outstanding job in making sure I received the best possible outcome. Traffic violations are never good and it becomes worse when you are driving with a suspended license (I was unaware). Her handling of my case got me positive results with respect to not payin...g the tickets and also avoiding a hit to my license points.

Great!

I hired Ms Counter to help me with the traffic tickets after I was in a car accident. She was very honest and helpful and answered all of my questions. Her fee was beyond competitive and she got everything dismissed to a couple of parking tickets. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a ...traffic ticket lawyer

Wonderful Woman

Ms. Counter was extremely professional and reliable when handling my case. She was very honest and could answer all my questions. She reduced my 8 point ticket (and I've had a past history with traffic tickets) to a two point ticket with ease. She's currently the reason I still have my licenses. I'm ...extremely grateful for everything she did for me. I would and have highly recommended her to anyone in need of a traffic ticket consultation.
