I finally got my first speeding ticket at 29 years old, and Patton Ritter was my first call. He handled my case with professionalism and kept me informed along the way. And best of all, he was able to get the ticket dismissed! Hopefully, it was my first and last, but if I ever need help again, I know exactly who to call.
