Out of State Moving Violation Representation

I responded to one of many standard direct mail solicitations after I received my speeding ticket in North Carolina while driving home with my family to New Jersey. I responded to multiple flyers but Mr. Follum's office was both responsive and thorough in their explanations on what will occur and th...e detailed steps to be taken. I appreciated the thoroughness and the quick responses. He was direct and clearly told me the costs that I will pay in total for both his services and the court costs. He also showed strong confidence in handling a case like this with years of experience to get this type of violation to be redirected to non-point violation.

Speeding Ticket

Mr. Follum was very responsive to my needs. He did exactly what he said he would do, no hidden fees, straight forward with all of his comments. I would definitely reuse him again if the need arises, which I hope never will. My case was handled in a very professional manner and I was very satisf...ied.

Traffic Violation - Out Of State

I was fortunate to get connected to Attorney Steven Follum concerning a traffic violation. The best part was that I was out of the state when the court proceedings were to occur and Mr. Follum handled everything quickly and efficiently. Hopefully I won't need an attorney again, but if I did, I would ...confidently hire Mr. Follum again.

I do highly recommend him to represent in court. Most of the traffic violations we have had have been reduced or dismissed wi...th no points...Thank you Mr. Follum "Steven"!!! Sincerely, Maria Irminger and family

Put my Mind at Ease

I hired Mr Follum to handle a traffic violation and he explained the situation and put my mind at ease during our conversation. He handled the court appearance for me and notified me immediately after with the results. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney's services

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.
