      I came across Joseph Cutter firm by accident looking for a lawyer to remove several speeding tickets. That my son accumulated in a very short period of time. Anyways I spoke with Cutter on the matter he gave me a very reasonable price and he told me not to worry he got this. The next time we spoke he notified me it was a done deal short sweet and painless. Cutter name and contact information is permanent in my favorite phone contact list! Trust and believe he's the lawyer to call and traffic tickets is not all the services he has to offer. Satisfaction guaranteed and I'll cosign on that !!!

      Best experience Ive ever had. Got Joseph’s contact information from a colleague sent a text and got an immediate response and a phone call with clear directions and details as what he needed from me and when I would expect to hear back from him. He was very prompt, professional, compassionate, understanding, very polite and helpful. He did a great job, everything he said he would do with no hidden agendas. 10/10 recommend. Will definitely use his services again if the need arises. I couldn’t have hand picked anyone better for the job.
