Posted by Jason Smith-Josiah | May 25, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Speeding 21 over the limit.

After receiving a speeding ticket that so happened to 21 over the limit. I was shopping around for attorney for help. I ended up calling the law office of Steve Follum who actually answered the phone himself and was able to give absolutely great advise on how he was going to handle my situation. ...Today my case was final and did not get any points on my license and my court cost was much less than he had estimated. Keep in mind everyone else had told me that they cannot do what Steven told me he was going to do. He over deliver. Thanks alot Steven.

Traffic violation

I am VERY happy with the result Mr Follum obtained on my behalf. I have NEVER EVER had a traffic violation. I have lived in three different states and this is the only time it happened. If this ever happens to you please do yourself a favor and obtain Mr Follum.

Posted by Jason | May 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

So thankful

I had received 3 tickets that would result in 8 point against me. Steve said he would try and get me a PJC but couldn't guarantee me it would happen. Reduced down to 2 or points was worse case scenario. Well he came through for me a PJC. 0 points against me. All I owe is 190.00 court costs. So thankf...ul for his honesty and results. Excellent lawyer, excellent prices.

  • 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.
