I'm forever grateful. He is very knowledgeable of the local court system & following his every recommendation got me off of what would have been my first ticket (not seeing a stopped school bus). Do not hesitate to fight your ticket, he's definitely got your back. Thank you for keeping my record clean!

Highly recommend his services! Michael H.2/12/2014
