Had a speeding ticket coming back to Vegas from California. Was planning to go to court myself in two days and do the traffic school to reduce the point(s) and save on insurance.
But had dinner recently at the Wicked Spoon with Suki L and her friend, and the topic of traffic tickets came up. So I hit her up for a referral, and after a brief phone conversation with the receptionist, I dropped by the office and retain the services of the Lin Law Group.
They can't guarantee that they can reduce the fine, but they do try to get the citation reduced from a traffic violation to parking ticket and no traffic school. Which is worth the $35 fee, in lieu of the cost and time spent on traffic school.
I know there are other local law firms/practices that offer similar services for clients with a speeding ticket, some charges a lower fee and others a higher fee. But overall I am satisfied with the services rendered.
The result of paying the fee to the law firm is that the speeding ticket, a moving violation that is surely going to make my insurance rate go up, was re-categorized as a parking violation. I still have to pay the full amount of my ticket, but at least I did not have to deal with the hassle of a traffic school (attending and paying).
The only minor thing that I thought would have made this a 5 star review, was that after dropping off my ticket for them to verify which court has jurisdiction of my ticket and court appearance and paying the $35 retainer fee, I never heard back from them. After waiting about 2-3 weeks after my scheduled court date, I called them and was told that they just received update on my case. I came in, they gave me the envelope to mail my check for the amount of my fine to the court, and everything was good to go. Except that the date on the document was dated over a week earlier. Had I not called them, I wonder how long it would have taken for them to get back to me, like they promised. Or what additional fines I might have had to pay if the payment was not sent in in time, had my case follow-up fell through the crack.
Anyway, still 4 stars for the results.
