She was outstanding in court and got the ticket reduced to improper equipment . I actually felt this was correct due to the old van I was driving and she covered it great. Thank you so much and yes it was $45 . I will always use Teresa Stewart

I started to hire this firm for a simple speeding ticket. I received a legal advertisement in the mail and thought $45 was too good to be true. When I called to receive more information, someone other than Teresa answers the phone and gives you information, not sure what their job title is. Anyway, I prefer to speak to the actual attorney that is handling my case. I hired her anyways. The person I spoke to wanted my card info over the phone and when I asked for a confirmation code, I was told the person who ran the payments had left for the day and would run it "tomorrow or Monday morning" (this was a Thursday). So, essentially my card information was written down and held in an office for a few days. Then when I called on Monday to get said confirmation code, I was told the software they use doesn't give confirmation codes (same person that told me to call on Monday, by the way!) So they said they would mail a receipt. This was all really irritating and without proof of hiring an attorney, I wasn't comfortable letting them go to court for me. When I expressed my concern over if she was sick or unable to make my court date, without a receipt I would have no way to cover myself, I was then told "you won't be issued an arrest over a traffic ticket" which furthered my annoyance. On top of not getting to speak with her directly, she's licensed on the bar website under a different name which made her hard to find and made me skeptical, especially since when you google her firm, the first image is vacation photos. Unprofessional in my personal opinion.

I contacted this law office to defend me for a simple speeding ticket. I gave them three weeks advanced notice before my court date. The court date came and went and I didn't contact them, thinking they needed time to consolidate what they had gathered to report back to me but after three days of silence I gave their office a call. It turns out that the officer who issued me the speeding ticket was the attorney's husband and that due to this conflict of interest she would not be able to take my case. So how on earth does a competent attorney fail to realize for three WEEKS that the issuing officer was their spouse? I had not only read the secretary the officer's name over the phone but I had ALSO listed it in my written statement which, presumably, the attorney read directly, and if she DIDN'T read my written statement before going to court that just raises further concerns. What, was she just planning on winging it in court? So either she didn't read her client's written statement, or she did and somehow didn't recognize her husband's name. To pile on the blatant incompetence they took three days to even tell me this result? Unacceptable. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Dodge this bullet; find another lawyer.

There is an attorney there named Shanelle Sharma. She is extremely incompetent. She was two hours late to our first meeting. The second time meeting her she was an hour late and blamed her assistant and everyone else she could. This should have been enough to deter me from choosing her but she was cheap and all I could afford at the time. She stuttered and was reminded of what she could and could not do in court by the judge. She lost the cast and I have never heard from her again. Be careful of choosing her for anything important. She has no real skills that it takes to be an attorney. Maybe she will get better with time and I hope she does but I just wanted to share my experience to save someone else time and trouble.

This is why lawyers have a bad reputation. These guys are the exact definition of bullies, even if you're their clients. Extremely arrogant firm and always seem like they want to argue with anyone they come across, even if you're the one paying them. Oh that reminds me, ridiculously expensive as well. These guys just seem like they have no manners and little or no professionalism. In my opinion, find someone else and skip these guys.

I was sceptical for $45. But I thought I'll give her a try. I was going 17mph over the speed limit on 52. She got it reduced to a non moving violation. Another attorney wanted $250.
