Phil is good at his work. My wife had two tickets which we had filed and missed the court dates for but Phil somehow got them reopened for an upcoming date and had one of them withdrawn due to lack of evidence and we're waiting on the second court date. Fingers crossed! Highly recommend Phil.
Great service. The team has been very diligent and understandable to my situation. They worked towards the solution I wanted. Highly recommend this team.
