Hands down the hardest working and most professional attorney I have ever had on retainer. Mary Pelaez is incredible and is worth every penny she charges. Do yourself a favor and only hire the best!

I’ve used these attorneys for 2 traffic tickets and I am very pleased with the outcome. Would highly recommend going to see them for any traffic ticket matters! Would definitely use them again if needed.
