Neph Duc.

I have received outstanding law services from the Law Office of Charles Mead! Mr. Mead did his diligence to get best possible outcomes where he was able to get my DUI charge dismissed.

Mr. Bead also has the most amazing dedicated Legal Assistant Ms. Patricia Weissman aka Ms. Patty. Ms. Patty did not only provided legal advice but she provided emotional support, compassion, and reassurance(that everything is going to be ok.).

She also went above and beyond answering any question or concern I had during the process of completing the required documents for court.

I will forever be gratefully to Mr. Bead and Ms. Patty for fighting for the best possible outcome for my case and would recommend them to anyone in needs of traffic violation lawyer.
