I was pulled over for having a “fake inspection sticker” and Ryan looked through my case and found where the state cop made an error on the infraction and got the case thrown out ! Highly recommend

Won't return calls, lies without remorse. Left a few voicemails over the past YEAR needing him to just to answer 2 seconds worth of questions he promised he'd help me with. Waiting for over a YEAR to talk to him for 2 small minutes.....

I retained Mr. Rakness earlier this year and was very pleased with his work. He was easy to contact, personable, and worked diligently on my case. He and his team were quick to schedule a meeting if I had any concerns and worked hard to answer any questions I had. If you’re considering retaining Mr. Rakness, you can be confident that your case is in good hands.
