Hi Diane, thank you for the kind words. I am so glad that I was able to get you found not guilty of the Retail Theft citation that you had been issued. This kept your record clean, and resulted in the court refunding the fine collateral that you had sent them in full. I wish you the very best in the future!

Great service and outcome!

Unfortunately, I drove into a local speed trap which resulted in a ticket. David and his firm represented me and the outcome exceeded all my expectations (in a good way - could not have been any better).

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Mr. Burdett - David was extraordinary. He was very professional and worked to have citations amended and some dismissed resulting in zero points and fines significantly reduced. We would have not been able to navigate the situation without his expert assistance. He assured that we understood the proc...ess and explained each step completely. We were nervous and intimated by the situation and David helped to calm our concerns and represent our interests. We hope to never need legal advice in the future but if needed we would call him immediately. We would recommend him to anyone in need of counsel.

Very grateful for Mr. Burdett's services.

Mr. Burdett was a life saver for us! My daughter received a speeding ticket on her way to work which would have given her points on her license. We were desperate to see if her points could be reduced. Mr. Burdett, as well as his office at Ellis Klein & Associates were extremely responsive, profes...sional and provided all necessary information to us in a very timely matter. We were so appreciative that Mr. Burdett was able to appear in court on behalf of our daughter so she didn't have to take off of work and was able to reduce her 4 point ticket to a 0 point offense. We also appreciated that with our payment in advance, if points were not able to be reduced, we would get our money back. We were all very grateful, especially my daughter, as driving is part of her work criteria. The fact that she has a re-start with her license and clean slate means more than we can say! We would highly recommend using Mr. Burdett and stand by our 5+ star review! Thank you so much!

Direct, professional, knowledgeable and achieved remarkable results

I was facing 8/9 points after a minor traffic accident on PA Tpke, David spoke independently with both my wife and I and gathered as much information possible. David directed me to take steps and document them in preparation for my court appearance. David had good knowledge of the people we would be ...facing in court and was instrumental in obtaining an amazing outcome of two of three citations being dismissed and the third being reduced to non-points.
