This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Phenomenal experience following traffic ticket

I had a ticket for 85 in a 65 - my first traffic offense. Over a single phone call I was able to retain Bree Ward for representation. Received email notifications and accompanying letters in the mail filling me in on every step of the process. After having my court appearance waived, I received an em...ail the day of my court date informing me that my ticket had been dismissed. Best possible case scenario. Highly recommend Bree Ward and this firm for related matters. Extremely professional and dependable.

Wonderful representation

I was given a speeding ticket for going 17 over where 85 meets 85 business before the change in speed limit is posted. Bree Ward was able to get my charge reduced which prevented me from having points added to my license. Communication from her office was clear and timely. I would highly recommend he...r.
