Ben walked me through step by step the steps I needed to take, and had plan A and a plan B being prepared for whatever was thrown our way. Any information he received about the case he was on top of in a fast efficient manner, (stay close to your phone as somethings can be time-sensitive) where we were able to maneuver as necessary, resulting in Ben being able to help me not get charged for reckless driving, which the law has changed and can be sentenced to incarceration for up to 60 days.
