Wow! I actually got a, I guess, solicitation letter in the mail from Lauren's firm after I got a nard of a speeding ticket. Usually I throw those away but I called her, despite uh, how do I say this, having VERY LITTLE hope of getting out of the speeding ticket in any way. Covid had cases REALLY delayed so I was worried at first that nothing was happening and definitely bugged Lauren for updates many, many times. She always got back to me eventually and settled my mind. And now, months later, she was able to get my ticket reduced to a minor traffic infraction which means nothing happens to

Got a lawyer here for a speeding ticket and nobody reached out to me before or after the ticket. I am now paying a $105 collections bill because I was not made aware of any court or ticket fees after the court date. No email, call, or text, I didn’t even have a number or email to reach out to my lawyer for the case.
2 stars because my ticket was reduced from $330 to $140, but I am very frustrated that I was never contacted.

I was referred to Emerald City by a friend when my Fiance' was pulled over while driving my truck for one thing yet received a ticket for a different infraction which would go on his record as a moving violation. The Emerald City team managed to have the ticket dismissed.
A month later in the same truck, I was pulled over for driving with the same lights (colored) so I called Emerald City and they got the violation dismissed.

I would HIGHLY recommend using the team at Emerald City Law as everyone is very helpful, knowledgeable and very transparent. I hope to not get any more in any time

I've used Emerald City Law twice now to handle moving violations. They were able to reduce the first to a non-moving violation and get the second completely dismissed. Driving a fast car, this is the price of doing business - but they make it affordable and reliable to keep my driving record clean! Excellent follow through and customer service as well.

Called in for a question on future legal advice, the staff here was very helpful and competent to provide accurate insight about my case. Most attorneys offices are either abrupt about advice before a retainer or flat out arrogant.

Not here, very impressive team with a more than accommodating approach. Highly recommend!

Received an unsolicited letter from Emerald City Law Group about my ticket. Who sold my info to them? Either someone at USPS or someone at the Seattle Municipal Court. But either way, know that I will never give you a penny of my money. Stop sending unsolicited mail you scammers! After some research, it looks like they BRIBE people for positive reviews by offering a gift card. Beware of this unethical company.

I received a letter from the Emerald City Law Group just a couple of days before my hearing and I'm so glad I contacted them. Mila and the team were professional and responsive, and most importantly, successful at reducing my speeding ticket to a non-moving violation. Definitely worth working them.

So these con artist try to convince me that they fulfill their duty because I don't have a mark on my driving record. This included getting me to take a four hour course online that I had to pay $50 for, and then an additional $10 or something like that to get my certificate electronically sent to me. Seriously people,John Patrick Michael Stone 206-399-6139. Sure I don't have a mark on my driving record, but they still let the city extort $139 out of me plus $3.36 convenience fee to pay online.

Great experience with Emerald City Law Group. This was my ticket experience and had no idea how to handle it. Mila was very nice and walked me through the process. After the initial phone call there wasn't much interaction. I had to contact them a couple times inquiring about the status. I would have liked ECLG to take the initiative and keep me in the loop with how my case was going.
In the end, my ticket got dismissed and I am thankful for that :)

If you're reading this review in searching for a law service for your speeding ticket. I highly recommended this place. I've called around multiple places and I was sold when I spoke with Emerald City Law Group because Mila told me that if my ticket didn't get dismissed or reduced to non moving violation, I would be getting a FULL REFUND. And I was sold! Mile ensured me to relax and let her do her job and it will be a process but she will let me know. Today I got a call from her and told me it was completely dismissed.


Plus, the fee that firm charge was more than reasonable. It

They were great to work with. I was late and had already missed my date to contest my (ridiculous, but I digress.. more on that....) ticket. They were able to keep it off of my record as a moving violation and reminded me to do the things I needed to do. Stryder was great, and so was Mila. Hopefully I won't need to use them again, but I certainly will if need be!

Back to the ridiculous ticket.... At a stop sign, grabbed my cell phone with index finger and thumb to move it from a dash cellphone holder because it was falling out, and set it beside me on the seat. Less than 1 second in my hand

I had a car accident and was given a ticket. I contacted Emerald City Law to make sure the points didn't hit my license. After 6 months, they got it down to a non-moving violation. The problem is they didn't inform me that I would still get points on my license for having the accident. They just took the money so I ended up being an extra $250 out of pocket, and my insurance premium still went up. The points stay on 3 years for an accident.) Thanks for your lack of advice, ECL!

I got referred by my friend to work with Freddy and Alexandra from Emerald City Law Group. It was easy and everything pretty straight forward, they would answer my calls any time i had any question and explain everything i was needed. I had 2 traffic tickets they they got dismissed for me. It totally worth working with them for the money they asking. Super satisfied with their service. Will definitely come back!
Thank you guys again, was pleasure to work with you!

I received a collection notice in the mail after they said they were taking care of it. Never heard back from anyone, even after emailing and calling them. All they did was take my $250 and do nothing.

Edit: Eventually heard from Fredi and the ticket was dismissed a year later.

Uncommunicative, incompetent, ineffective, and a waste of time!
Just a garbage 'service' all around. I retained them, they didn't take *any* information from me, wasted months when they didn't return phone calls, had to be badgered into sending mail, had me take some online driving course for an additional fee, lost the fact that they'd done so, asked me to do it again, and ultimately did nothing to help with the ticket. Not a surprise, since they'd collected no information from me.

I received a moving violation for speeding on April 12. I had recently received a mailed advertisement from Emerald City Law Group, which I had saved, so I contacted them. Brandi and Freddy handled my intake efficiently, and told me exactly what to expect (either a reduction to a non-moving violation or a complete dismissal, or my money back.) Six weeks later their attorney went to court, met with the prosecutor and arranged a reduction to a non-moving violation, same fee as the original ticket, which I paid on the spot (I went to the court to observe.) Clear communication, reasonable fee, ideal

I used Emerald City Law Group to reduce a speeding ticket and I felt the process and results were not great, but adequate. Most importantly they did part of what they said, but the most important parts of the results of the case were NOT what I wanted.

Firstly, Brandi and Freddie and the whole staff are incredibly prompt and efficient which I really appreciate and think is a great part of their service. For the most part, they did what they said they would do throughout the process: they represented my case in court and negotiated a non-moving violation. Pricing was also very reasonable and would

When I got my second ticket this year, after going 10 years without one, I decided that I would give Emerald City Law Group a try.
After signing the agreement and sending in payment and a copy of the ticket, they did everything else. A court date was scheduled and they appeared on my behalf.
They were able to get the fine reduced and the speeding ticket changed to a non-moving violation. With the cost of their fees, that ended up costing a bit more than the original ticket, but not missing a day of work and keeping my insurance rates low will make it worthwhile.

I had a great experience with Emerald City Law Group. I am a student at a University, so my time and financial resources are very limited. It was great just having to scan and email the ticket; I didn't even need to meet in person, or show up to court. The paralegal that was working on my case, conducted herself in a very professional and courteous manner, and kept me updated throughout the whole process.
By the end of it, my potential moving violation was reduced to a non-moving, so my record stays clean. And the total fine amount was reduced substantially, plus no increased insurance rates.

I contacted Emerald City Law Group when I received a speeding ticket. I had never gotten one before (in the 13+ years of driving) and really didn't want to have to deal with higher insurance premiums.

I worked with them via email, which made the entire process easier. They handled everything, I didn't have to even go into court.

In the end they were able to keep the ticket off my record which is exactly what I wanted.

I highly recommend working with them!

My husband and I have been using Emerald City Law Group for a couple years now with 100% success. All of our speeding tickets have been dropped. They got my traffic violation (failure to make a full & complete stop) reduced to a non-moving violation with fees. So no dings on our record that will affect our insurance! Staff is professional and fast to respond.Well worth it, and will continue to use their services. Highly recommend.
