On May 31, 2021 I was passing through Southampton County (Courtland) Virginia and heading back to North Carolina. The Sheriff was parked to the side with his blue lights flashing. During that time he did not have anyone pulled over. He had just finished writing someone else a ticket! When I saw the Sheriff parked to the side I reduced my speed 10 miles below the speed limit because I know how they operate in this area. Since I was a child I have seen so many Sheriff's and State Troopers in Emporia Virginia, Courtland Virginia, and Greenville County pull people over just to make money. I am now 33 years old and this is still happening. They are always eager to pull over people and charge them with the highest misdemeanors and or felonies. YOUTUBE has a video about these areas in Virginia and there was a story about this on CBS news as well. This is how these small cities/counties make their money in Virginia. The State of Virginia and Department of Justice needs to investigate these areas AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Back to the story, the Sheriff pulled me over because I didn't change lanes. When he pulled me over, he almost had me in the ditch. He also seemed upset and power hungry while I was trying to understand what he was saying. He charged me with Virginia move over law (failed to yield to emergency vehicle) . This law is considered a Class 1 misdemeanor, possible jail time up to 12 months and a fine up to $2,500. I didn't move over because I wanted the Sheriff to see that I was going extra slow. Also I didn't want him to clock another vehicle and then accuse me. I thought I was following the laws and being cautious so I could avoid getting a ticket. I do understand stand the importance of moving over when emergency lights are on. Definitely if the officer is standing outside. So of course I had to drive back to this area for court. On my way to the court there was so many Sheriff's pulling folks over in SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY. I SAID LET ME HURRY UP AND GET OUT OF THIS POWER AND MONEY HUNGRY COUNTIES! When I arrived Atty. Kuligowski was already present. He made sure I was fully prepared for court, he was on point, and this man know the law. He questioned the cop in front of the judge because everyone knew he was lying. The cop said when I passed him his vehicle shooked, but I wasn't even speeding and I reduced my speed 10 miles below the speed limit. The judge even questioned him. Next thing I know Atty. Kuligowski filed a strike and noticed the officer lied on his statement and said something different in the court room. Judged said case is dismissed!!!!!!!!!! Lord Jesus!!!!!! Thank you for saving me from that CROOKED SHERIFF and sending an angel by the name of Atty. Kuligowski. I begged God to hear my cry because I was being 100 percent honest to Atty. Kuligowski and the judge. If you're in trouble and need a lawyer please contact and hire Atty. Kuligowski. I promise he will have your back. This entire situation put me in a stage of depression, it increase my blood pressure, I lost weight, couldn't sleep and barely was eating. This all took place while I was dealing with a dying father. As an African American male, I was already scared to death. I just knew the judge was going to believe this crooked Sheriff, but God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trust me I know about the history in these counties in Virginia. I'm just being honest! Atty. Kuligowski worked with me financially, he told me everything will be alright and I pray that God bless him in a big way. You where sent by God and this child of God is truly thankful!!!

I had consulted a handful of firms for my case and was repeatedly placed onto inquiry lists and multi-day waits before consultation. As I am inexperienced with the law, this was concerning to me. Mr. Kuligowski reached out directly after I had inquired on his firm's website. He gathered details about my case and offered to represent me - feeling confident that I would have a successful outcome. I was very happy to hire Mr. Kuligowski based on this conversation. I followed Mr. Kuligowski's instructions exactly and dropped off all relevant forms at the firm or via email, the staff was very pleasant and friendly. When the time came my court summons, Mr. Kuligowski was very informative about the process and helped guide me through what I needed to do and where I needed to go. The outcome of the case was absolutely successful/positive and I would strongly recommend Mr. Kuligowski's services now and in the future.

I went to court thinking I was going to to spend some jail time. But thank to this attorney, I didn’t get any time. We was in and out of court and got my charges dropped from reckless driving to a speeding ticket. He made it look easy too. I appreciate you man. God bless

Hired Mr. Kuligowski for my boyfriend who received a reckless speeding ticket when visiting VA. We realized what this ticket really was a became upset because it’s sad that you can go to jail for speeding. We called all around looking for a VA lawyer & found Monte. He answered on a Sunday, we were thankful. After thinking long a hard we hired him. At that point we were nervous because we don’t live in VA and wasn’t sure if he would care. Communication was great, honest, prepared & willing to help. The day of court we literally were scared to death because we planned for the worst because we knew he was going to jail because he we clocked at 100!!!!! Monte talked to my boyfriend and was very honest with him about the way things could go and what he can do for him. We trusted a stranger with his FREEDOM!!!! During court Monte realized that the cop made a major mistake during the stop & caught it right away. We didn’t even realize it, Monte catching this allowed my boyfriend to walk away FREE. We are so grateful. Monte is sharp and on point I would recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer in VA. Thank you again, we are grateful!!!

Was charged for going 86 in a 55 and it was going to be charged as a criminal case, but Kuligowski got the charge to be lowered to a standard speeding ticket! He was also very understanding when we were financially struggling and chose to still work with us.

Monte and his team made the entire process so easy. They laid out everything step by step in what I needed to do. He did his homework on my record and when the court date came I didn't have to say anything and he honestly hit it out of the park. Not only did the judge wave my speeding ticket because my speedometer was off, she decreased my offense to a non-moving traffic violation. I walked away with only defective vehicle fees and court fees - nothing on my driving record, and a much smaller consequence than if I had tried to go into that court room alone, left to my own devices and advocating for myself. Every outcome is different, but I will say if you're looking for an attorney who will walk you through the process and give you all of the tools to show up to court prepared - Monte is your guy. Supportive, organized, understanding - really great at what he does.
