As you may know speeding +20mph in the state of Virginia is a class 1 misdemeanor crime which is the last thing you want in your records. I had a 80/45 ticket and was so scared. I called many lawyers, many of them didn't wanna work on my case and some told me there's nothing can be done except going to the court on your behalf and sign the paper. Then I found Monte who was willing to work on my case he had hopes, what I didn't see in any other lawyers. He emphasized from the beginning that I should follow his instruction if this is important for me. Not only I followed all his instruction but also

Exceptional is the best word to describe the service of Legal Defense Center, specifically Monte Kuligowski. Although a bit more costly than other attorneys, the cost was well worth it. You get what you pay for. He and his staff were friendly, professional, communicative and effective; beyond effective. A must hire for your legal needs.

I had a great experience with Monte E. Kuligowski. Not only he prepared all my paperwork needed for my court date, but also gave me important advice on what was needed to win my reckless driving case. He was punctual and professional during my court hearing, having my case dismissed, and more importantly not affecting my record negatively. Thank you for your service.

On May 31, 2021 I was passing through Southampton County (Courtland) Virginia and heading back to North Carolina. The Sheriff was parked to the side with his blue lights flashing. During that time he did not have anyone pulled over. He had just finished writing someone else a ticket! When I saw the Sheriff parked to the side I reduced my speed 10 miles below the speed limit because I know how they operate in this area. Since I was a child I have seen so many Sheriff's and State Troopers in Emporia Virginia, Courtland Virginia, and Greenville County pull people over just to make money. I am now

Let's be honest and just except the fact the life can take someone to situations that never thought (someone) can find themselves. It may be you (the reader) that thought that you never will need legal defense but if you do you should hire Mr. MONTE. I personally prayed alot and handed my issue to Mr. Monte. I deeply thank God and Mr. MONTE for helping good people and give them a chance in life. Mr . Monte you should sleep well at night. God bless you Sir. You delivered the maximum. MY family and I will be forever grateful!!!

Attorney Monte was great 👍 he walked me through the process of everything from the arrest to evidence to how the court will play out. He was always available and was easy to talk to about concerns i had. I highly recommend him.

He did nothing for my case and robbed me of 1000 dollars. I was charged with a DUI from a police who had retired and was no longer on the force. The case could have been thrown out on day 1 of court but he insisted I keep coming back until he received his whole fee. Hence in the email below before the case is closed. I talked to several other attorneys who agreed and wondered why he kept pushing the dates back. I never received a discovery package and he then told me he would not represent me no more. So I now have to find a new lawyer becuase I have a warrant for a court date the attorney never

I had consulted a handful of firms for my case and was repeatedly placed onto inquiry lists and multi-day waits before consultation. I needed answers and I needed them fast. Mr. Kuligowski reached out directly after I had inquired on his firm's website. He gathered details about my case and offered to represent me - feeling confident that I would have a successful outcome. I was very happy to hire Mr. Kuligowski based on this conversation.
I followed Mr. Kuligowski's instructions exactly, the staff was very pleasant and friendly when I needed to drop off forms.

Monte and his team made the entire process so easy. They laid out everything step by step in what I needed to do. He did his homework on my record and when the court date came I didn't have to say anything and he honestly hit it out of the park. Every outcome is different, but I will say if you're looking for an attorney who will walk you through the process and give you all of the tools to show up to court prepared - Monte is your guy. Supportive, organized, understanding - really great at what he does.
