Sruly Dov - Traffic Court Representation - Scam??
« on: September 11, 2014, 12:52:33 PM »
I've been a lurker for a while now, and am finally coming looking for some advice.

I received a ticket that I'd like to get out of, and I was referred to a Sruly Dov from Far Rockaway.

The problem is that it's quite expensive, and when I googled his name, I saw terrible reviews that he would collect the money and not show up in court or do anything about the ticket.

Can anyone tell me if this guy is a thief or are these just angry customers?

Thanks!

Haven't you learned anything from DDF this week? You can never, ever trust frum people with anything.

At least that's what I learned.

Makes sense, but ppl think that when frum ppl send them referrals that the guy must be legit.

 Being that he guarantees a win or your money back. I would only use him if he let's a 3rd party(any rabbi. Or middleman or friend ) hold onto the money until the case is completely done. And he shouldnt care to do that as he says he will give all your money back if he doesn't win   And from my past experience he will not let you do that....   But if he would be willing to do that  what do you have to lose

I've used him once and eventually he got rid of the ticket. That being said, it was a hassle and my license was nearly suspended until I got on his case. My advice is that if you do use him be on top of the situation the entire time. From what I hear his mistakes are usually because of negligence (as it was in my case) and not malicious. There are others out there in the same "business" who have a better track record, but keep in mind that if you go with a real attorney they may not be able to guarantee your success.

I hate to say this, but if you're paying a guy $$$ to do work for you, and he doesn't do it for whatever reason, then that's worse than negligence. It's stealing and it puts you in danger.

People aren't using him for simple stop sign or traffic tickets,
I know a few ppl that used him and he came through, but they were on top of him

I am in the middle of a situation with him where I got screwed over and found guilty on a huge ticket although I tried staying on top of it. He told me today he will rectify it. I will give him the benefit of the doubt for now and will report on the progress.

At least with a lawyer, I'd imagine they have a code of conduct to follow, and if issues arise, you can go to the state board to submit a complaint. With a regular guy off the street, you have no recourse at all.
Maybe AJK or our other resident lawyers can chip in with their thoughts.

Did you pay him yet?

All generalities are bad

Yes, He doesn't work any other way.

I will give him a fair chance to rectify the situation before I post anything else about him. Either way I will write a full report at the right time.
