When you get a speeding ticket an attorney is not the first thing that usually comes to mind, but…read moreit should be. The why will be explained in my review of Attorney Gary Searcy. A speeding ticket can happen to anyone, even granny me who rarely speeds above a posted limit. When pulled over be as nice to the officer as you can and hopefully if no priors you can catch a break with a warning. My experience was professional and polite with the officer, but this motorcycle cop was all about writing tickets. So at that point it's pay the fine and admit guilt. Or the alternative is fight it yourself, or retain counsel. I had no referral of Attorney Searcy, he solicited me in the mail as did several others. I called and talked with him directly and he went over my case free of charge and offered advice, again free of charge. I did talk to others too, but he was by far the most friendly to talk to and helpful with no obligation. As the court date loomed I decided to call Gary back and retain his counsel. Cost for a straight forward speeding ticket without DUI, reckless etc was $175. Others were charging up to $400. So he was both on the reasonable end and who I liked best anyway. A few things I was requested to do. Obtain a current driving record from the DMV and get a calibration from Beach Calibration. On the court date Attorney Searcy was prompt and met with me. We waited our turn for my docket to be read and stood before the judge and police officer, then was sworn in. The judge took a hardline and my attorney advised an appeal. Of course it's an additional cost and a gamble, but why not. If the case could be settled before the cost would be minimal. So today was D Day and again Mr. Searcy was prompt and professional. The prosecutor refused to settle the case with no points which was what my attorney wanted. The officer was in the court room. The judge heard the evidence and sided with me. No points and reduced down to improper equipment which was the goal. Case closed. So why get an attorney for a simple speeding ticket if you decide to fight it? Because counsel knows the players. My attorney knew the judges, he knew the officer and although it did not work out to negotiate the prosecutor. In the end it was worth it. A simple speeding ticket remains on your record for 3 years. Insurance will go up several hundred a year and may not go back to a normal rate for over 5 years. I can't say enough great things about Searcy Law. Gary has years of experience and can help you with your traffic case.

Not sure why the woman below is mad that he got her case dismissed, that seems like she's complaining for no good reason. He did exactly what was discussed and got the best result possible for me. I really appreciate him and hope he continues to help people in that area. The cop there sucks and they're giving tickets in places where there is no additional chance of accidents at higher speeds. They get 0 stars :P

He does not placate clients with fabrications; he remains positively realistic throughout the process. He is personable. Stephen has taken the time to get to know me and thus, he communicates in a particular manner that is most effective specifically to me and my thought process. He is very reliable and trustworthy, but is also a very busy guy. He tries to be available all the time for his clients; however, if a situation occurs and he is seemingly unavailable, rest assured that he is actively working on your case and is always fully prepared for court. From his joyous demeanor, to his sense of humor, charm and wit, to the way he presents himself, Stephen holds a very high personal standard and in turn, his clients get what they pay for.

They took on a case that every other firm had turned down, with very little to gain, yet they stood unwaveringly for what was right and gave a voice to someone who had none. The care, compassion, and commitment they showed throughout our case far surpassed our family's expectations. I'll admit that before this experience, I didn't fully appreciate the legal profession -- I had the stereotypical "ambulance-chaser" image in mind. But my perspective has completely changed. Good attorneys bring accountability, protect people, and help prevent future harm, and this team embodied all of that. They handled our case with such genuine care that, by the end, it felt like they were part of our family. Their focus was always on honoring our wishes, respecting our privacy, and seeking justice. God bless all who dedicate themselves to protecting the innocent and preventing future harm. Matthew 25:40 -- "And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"

If you want to be alone at the last minute at the court. If…read moreyou want to be told go represent yourself and here is the form to calculate your your money and the ex money. If you want to be having very short period of time to find attorney to represent you for the right of your kids. So hire him. He went to the juvenile court with me twice. First time the judge said the paperwork was filed wrong. Second time he came late we were in December and when he came late the judge was done so he continued to first week of. This office had me in thier calender since then. The surprise is that his assistant called me before the court by five days telling me that he will not come to the court to represent me because he has to go to chesapeake. The court does not want to continue cause it is the third time. He is putting me in very bad situation after he had is the one who continued till may. So from December till May he could not tell me earlier that he does not want to go to the court. First, no responsibility to handle people matters. Second, he put the claint in bad position because who will be able to find another attorney in a few days. Third, being told to go represent myself in the court alone is not appropriate. If you want to go through this so this will be a right choice for you
