Not ALL tickets are the same!
Mandatory Appearance

Mandatory Appearance Citations mean that you must personally attend a County Court Hearing and appear before a Judge. There are 2 types of Mandatory Citations: Serious Infractions and Criminal Charges.

  • FAILURE TO ATTEND will result in a WARRANT for your arrest!
  • AVOIDING conviction is critical!
  • I CAN APPEAR FOR YOU!

I analyze the Citation before court for accuracy, legality and possible defenses. Often times I am able to correct, modify or amend citations in Court through Motions filed on your behalf. I will directly negotiate with the Police and the State Attorney to present your case in the best light, thereby saving you time away from work and family!

Auto Accidents

Car accidents are costly, scary, and can be complicated to handle. Medical bills pile up, your car needs to be fixed, and you are missing work. All the while, the insurance adjuster is trying to settle your claim as quickly and cheaply as possible. Protect yourself and call me today.

  • WHO is at fault?
  • WHO pays for damage to my car?
  • WHO will pay for my medical bills?
  • HOW much should I get for pain and suffering?
  • CAN I ask the insurance company for lost wages?

I will personally answer all of your questions and address all of your concerns. I act on your behalf and for your benefit throughout the entire claims process (negotiating with the automobile insurance company) and even in court if a lawsuit becomes necessary.

Having an experienced and articulate advocate working for you is essential in obtaining a reasonable and fair resolution in your case.
