Speeding ticket

I was pulled over for going near 20 mph over the speed limit. It occured in a county that I neither lived nor worked in, which made it difficult to make court date. I contacted Havelka Law to see what my options were. When Paulina took my case she was extremely professional, quick to handle any quest...ions or concerns, and did her magic so i didn't need to attend my court date. I would definitely recommend.

Speeding ticket

I just wanted to thank Hevelka Law for helping me with my speeding ticket. They handled my case promptly, professionally, and were affordable.

Best Family Attorney!

She was very fair with me. First of all, I didn't think that attorneys had consultation fees for family law matter. I was wrong, and Paulina's was one of the cheapest around but don't let that deter you! She was very professional but also rather personable. I felt at ease in her office and wasn't ove...rwhelmed by any legal jargon. She listened to me describe my divorce situation and explained to me, rather matter-of-factly, what the procedures were that we could take and that, generally in family law, some things took longer than others. She was very fair about the price and I never felt like I was taken advantage of. Whenever there was a development in the case, she would inform me and whenever I needed to have a consultation she made it a priority (sometimes even making extra time late on weekdays or on some weekends). I couldn't imagine going to anyone else with anything related to my divorce or any traffic issues.
