Good evening, I hardly write reviews, but after reading so many positive reviews. I've decided to give Mr. Groover a chance. Mr. Groover would be my second attorney for this citation. In the beginning everything seemed promising and their communication was fantastic compared to my first lawyer where I would not get a response for days and even a whole week.
My first lawyer told me he would take care of everything and look into my case. Offered to help with a citation.
Come to find out nothing was done and gave some bogus advice stating I can only appeal this citation. I ended driving back to court 10 minutes after he stated that and I recieved another contested hearing for may 12.
I decided to look for a new lawyer after filing my grievance with the state bar for his conduct. that's when
1 decided to look for a new lawyer and came across K.
Groover and his reviews. Spoked to Mr. Groover or his assistant, mid April. I Informed him as to what happened to my first attorney which I filed a grievance against for the fact that he stated he would help with the citation, would look into it, ended up he didn't do anything. But still have the nerves to offer his service to help with my insurance claim. 05/08 I got a call while I was at work and was told to either take the plea bargain or Kenneth will not be representing me. Stating with how federal way court works, they had 2 lawyers look at the case they don't want to take on the case. I asked why and their was responses was we don't want to ruin our relation with the prosecutors. Refuse to even take this to trial even after I told them they will be compensated for their time. So far the only thing they did was prolong my court date. Filed a continuance since Mr. Groover was busy with other cases.
When it came down to my case, pressuring me to take a plea bargain. Not just once but on multiple occasion. They are more worried about their relations with the prosecutor. Instead of actually representing their client. What relation are they referring to? Are they just trying to avoid putting this officer on the stand? Now I got an email stating the officer can't attend my new hearing date and it got pushed back to July. Where's the justice in that? If you think this is all about money it is not. I can easily pay off this citation, I'm only fighting this because 1ST, I did nothing wrong and if they want to give me that citation they can give it on record based on hearsay. Nothing on the police report was admissible in court until I see everyone involved testify under oath. The person who cause the accident did not have insurance, nor did she get a citation. The best part is the police report was 1 paragraph long they considered that evidence. At the end of the day I rather pay thousands in legal fees than pay this greedy city. I wonder how serious Mr Groove would take this case If I did offered $1,500. Win or lose I'll happily pay my insurance premiums. 5/11, called today and found out the lawyer withdrew Officer Sales from being subpoenaed. I responded "with why" with no response then Stated prosecutor offered a plea bargain and we don't want to take on this case because we don't want to ruin our relation with the prosecutor.
Also stating I won't get my partial refund back unless I sign some paperwork. But all was done was my court date getting prolonged. I told them I'm not signing anything until my new lawyer sees the document they are requiring me to sign before my portion of the payment. 1/3 goes to lawyer fee since they took on my case and filed a continuance. my refund are being held until the paperwork they are requesting are signed.
Update: want to give me a full refund but wants me to sign some paperwork before the fund are release back to me!

If you're in need of a traffic speeding lawyer, I highly recommend Kenneth Grover. I recently had the pleasure of working with them on a case and I was incredibly impressed with their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to getting the best possible outcome.
From the very beginning, Mr. Grover was attentive and responsive to my needs. They took the time to listen to my concerns and explain the legal process to me in a way that was easy to understand. Throughout the case, they kept me updated on any developments and answered all of my questions promptly.
What really stood out to me was Mr Grover's knowledge of traffic law and their ability to negotiate with the prosecutor. They were able to get my charges reduced to a lesser offense, which saved me a significant amount of money in fines and insurance premiums.
Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my experience working with Mr. Grover's. They are an excellent traffic speeding lawyer and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation for traffic violations.

Lisa Voso is the most amazing attorney I have ever met (including my previous years of experience working as a legal secretary), and does not know the meaning of the words "no" or "can't".
Lisa Voso was the answer to my prayers, settling my accident claim against all odds for a fair and just six figure amount. She efficiently, enthusiastically, and energetically fought for what she told me she believed was "Right". Because of her amazing skill and determination I was able to pay off all of my medical bills and debts incurred due to a 2005 automobile accident in which a driver talking on a cell phone struck me and changed my life forever. With the money left I will be able to afford care for the pain that I now will face for the rest of my life.
At the time I had sought out a reputable law firm to assist me in filing a claim for injuries sustained in an auto accident, and found myself increasingly frustrated with the obstacles insurance companies place in front of people in order to prevent them from continuing to fight for a fair settlement. Over the years I began, unfortunately, to understand a legal judicial process that encourages clients to give in and settle for lesser amounts in order to avoid the long, stressful legal battles. Coping with the physical (and financial) pain can prove overwhelming. Has it not been for my incredible attorney, the burdens placed on myself and my family would have led me to give up and settle for the pitiful sum proposed by the powerful attorneys representing the insurance company of the person who had totalled my car in 2005.
From the moment Lisa Voso took over my case at my law firm, results began to take place. As my attorney, Lisa Voso consistanty kept in touch with me, calling and encouraging me to continue to fight for justice, to keep having faith , reassuring me that she would not give up until she helped me to win a reasonable settlement. Because of her, my faith was restored in a legal system that previously had thwarted and stalled efforts to attain justice and a reasonable settlement for my medical bills, loss of work and income, necessary changes in career, daily pain, restriction of movement and mobility, and overwhelming lifestyle changes that occured as a result.
Lisa Voso told me she believed a six figure settlment was the only outcome she would accept. Like David facing down Goliath, this petite powerhouse informed opposing counsel and insurance company employees that she would not give in until they offered a settlement that was fair and just. Unrelenting positivity, knowledge of the law, and tireless dogged determination ultimately led to the six figure settlement she so confidently told me she would attain for me.
I will always appreciate how hard she worked. She gave me my life back, and I will always appreciate her hard work. Lisa Voso is an inspiration, and stands as an example to all other attorneys, and I thank her for everything!!!

My wife and I first became clients of Lisa Voso when my wife was in a serious auto accident that required spine surgery. We had retained another attorney who was not performing to our satisfaction. To say Lisa was different is an understatement. She came to our home, got us all on the same page and never stopped from there. She did what she said she was going to do, when she said it would be done and kept us informed throughout the whole litigation process. There was never a phone call that was not returned and never correspondence that we were not copied on. She stood toe to toe with me which is never an easy process.
Lisa Voso is perhaps the finest attorney and person I have ever met. She is the polar opposite of what most people think attorneys are. I trust her judgment in any situation and would give her my highest endorsement. She says what she means and means what she says.

We approached one of the largest firms in the country to do our patent filing as a start-up because we did not want to waste precious time and resources on educating the attorneys on our industry or on our technology. We found the perfect match in John Tolomei and the team at Perkins Coie. After only a couple "brain dump" sessions, John was able to formulate a comprehensive outline of what our patent would look like from start to finish. As a start-up, we assumed that we were at the bottom of the food chain when it came to getting our patents filed before the U.S. patent law was switching to a "first to file" system. John was assigned to our patent filing case and truly made it his own project. He worked with us at our convenience and did not settle for "good enough". He was very open to suggestion and also great at conveying technical information in an understandable way.
John was diligent about keeping us in the loop and informed about the patent process. With patents, filing is only the beginning. We look forward to continuing our relationship with John throughout the next steps.

Gary represented our company in an issue where our ex landlord was trying to hit us with absurd damage charges on our previous building. He was very helpful and responsive. He also represented us when reviewing a purchase agreement for a commercial real estate property. He's a nice guy, he is thorough and responsive, and his fees are reasonable.

For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.
It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.
