Knowledgeable/Quick Response/highly recommend

I hired Jeffrey out of state. He was very quick to respond and kept me up to date on the status. I was never left wondering. He took care of my outstanding ticket, from over 15 years, quickly. If you want a lawyer with experience, great communication, timely response and very reasonably priced hir...e Jeffrey.

Traffic Court made easy

I was issued a speeding ticket when I wasn't even speeding on I-80/90 near South Bend, IN. I called Jeff Haupt after finding his web site and being refered by ARAG (my legal insurance). Jeff took the time to explain my legal options depending what information was available. Unfortunately, I didn't... have any evidence to use to invalidate the ticket. Jeff was able to negotiate and my ticket was reduced to a non-moving violation which would not be reported to my insurance and would not put points against my license. Jeff was prompt and kept me informed of the progress with my case. Jeff sent an email which allowed payment of my fine and his fee all online, the payment process was quick and simple. Since I used ARAG legal insurance, I was not billed until my case was settled. Everything was taken care of in less than two weeks, head ache gone. I would highly recomend Jeff's services.

Awesome service. Will do business again!

I hire Attorney Jeffery Michael Haupt to resolve the automotive warranty claim issues. I can't resolve that matter for 5 month! With Mr. Haupt matter was resolved in 3 days! Thank you so much, sir! You help me so much! I will recommend you to anybody and any time!

Efficient & Easy to Work With

Mr. Haupt helped me collect money owed to me by an insurance company. I was given the run-around by them for months, and with one letter, he had the matter resolved in my favor. I have also had him help me draft and review contracts for my music business.

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.
