Will break it down for you as much as possible.
Tourists from Hawaii driving from Las Vegas into California (on way to Anaheim). Just entered into San Bernardino County, have yet to reach Barstow and we get pulled over. Mind you- WE ARE FROM HAWAII- where speed limits are no more than 60!!! Yet, the officer claims we were going 94 in 70. Really? Perhaps we were going 77 But not 94! Ok, So I asked to see confirmation (as a courtesy!) "Would be glad to be proven wrong..." His response: "By California Law, I'm not REQUIRED to show you anything... By California Law, they TRUST ME to know how fast you were going..." Wait, What? Why? Cause we brown? Whatever. We refused to sign the ticket and then he says: "Ok, if you don't sign, I'll arrest you and put a big fat dent in your vacation!" Whaaaaaattt???? Thanks for the utmost NOT consideration for tourists!
Furiated... I'm on the phone (3 hours more to drive) with every traffic law attorney in the San Bernardino County found on Yelp, Google, etc.
Law Offices of Shaffer Cormell. Helpful, friendly, clear, concise and to the point.
Both Shaffer Cormell & J. Brian Campbell helped us with our case.
$675 for representation gets you: FULL DEFENSE, no return for court appearances needed. Tells you the goal/plan and you probably don't have to do anything but pay the attorney fee, they take care of everything! Didn't even have to turn in a statement! And they keep you updated as needed via email. And any questions you have: email and you'll get a response within 24-hrs.
Felt a little sketch about it (pricey), but rest assured. 5 months later, DISMISSED:)
$675 vs. $366 ticket + 15 years record on driving abstract + increased insurance premiums .
No thank you California! But thank you J. Brian Campbell & Shaffer Cormell!
