Traffic Ticket

Steve did an excellent job getting my speeding ticket reduced to "Improper Equipment" with no points on my license. Communication and follow up by Steve was "refreshing"

EXCELLENT SERVICE & PERFORMANCE

Steven C. Follum was appointed by the court to represent me. I had eight charges including felony failure to elude arrest, marijuana growing and charges down to the the very basics which included littering. Mr. Follum represented me above and beyond my satisfaction. He has an in depth knowledge of... the law and uses every bit of what can be used to his clients advantage. He had to research special circumstances not known to the court system before and succeeded where other lawyers would have failed. Not once did he ever feel like success was not at hand, nor at any point did we get a feeling of dishonesty or that he sugar coated the truth. As a lawyer he has a resilient character. He was not only professional but actually cared what happened to me. He is genuine. At any of the court times he was extremely prepared and was composed upon presentation of my case. For his services and commitment to my case his fees were just and reasonable.

Very Professional and helpful!

He was able to resolve my speeding ticket to an improper equipment. He is very friendly and was easy to talk to about my ticket and emailed me immediately after the court date with all information regarding my ticket. Would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone!

Speeding Ticket

While driving on I-40 through Iredell County, I got a speeding ticket. We contacted Steven - got a prompt reply and they did a great job re: speeding ticket that resulted in zero points!

  • 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.
