Jeannie P Mucklestone

Wow. I got three speeding tickets one summer (new Porsche). I thought no way can I clear all three of these. Jeannie and her staff did it! Saved my insurance from increasing or getting dropped. Highly recommend. Very professional and pain free. Best attorney experience I have ever had.

Jeannie’s firm is very professional and they were able to take care of my speeding ticket with very little effort on my part.
Just follow her instructions and she’ll take care of the rest. No court dates to attend, no hassles.
There are no guarantees that she’ll be successful, but she has an excellent track record (she got my case dismissed!) and comes highly recommended.
Also, I have a problem with automated tickets that come in the mail claiming that I sped in a school zone, and there were no kids around. Folks, this is a cash cow for the municipalities, and motorists who just pay the fee are encouraging more cameras.
Take my advice: hire Jeannie and let her get your case dismissed.

I have used Jeannie at least 9 times since 2000 and have referred her lots of clients. She USED to be a great attorney and fight hard; she would do the work to win and she did every time. She was undefeated in my cases.
However as her business has grown she is no longer interested in fighting to get you out of a ticket but rather just cutting an easy deal with the courts to keep it off your record. You pay her $ 350 and then get a letter you owe the courts a high fee as well. Sadly she is no longer what she was and doesn’t even return a call anymore. It was a good run, but next time I will use a different attorney.

I used Mucklestone’s office for the first time recently — I got a double violation on the freeway in Snohomish County.
Very happy with the dismissals!
Jeannie has several attorneys in her practice, and I was happy with the results, I don’t really care who handles it, I do believe she’s running the show.
Communication was fast, accurate, and professional from her office.
I read through the other reviews and noticed a criticism that I think is unfair.
I hired Jeannie with the knowledge she may not get my tickets dismissed. I viewed it as a bet, and paying $ 400 for the two tickets (one is $ 350, $ 50 for the second violation) seemed an OK bet to me. I would not have cried if in fact she had not been successful. After all, if I had gone in there myself I would have faced a near 100% probability of losing.
So to all the whiners I say — put on your big boy britches and take responsibility!

Jeannie P. Mucklestone has taken immaculate care of me. I unfortunately received two speeding tickets in the last few years. Both were dropped with the help of Jeannie. Communication with her office staff was a pleasure, and I was promptly notified of everything that went on during the process. It was so painless. I am thankful and lucky to have such a skilled attorney in my corner.

Can’t complain she got me out of 2 tickets.
One was a 80 in a 40 and another 86 in a 60.
Sooo — she pretty much saved my life. They took care of everything.
I know she isn’t 100% but she was for me.
I only gave 4 stars because she is so expensive.
Cheers!

I hired Jeannie and paid a premium for what I thought would be excellent service. I was advised to plead to another offense after she failed to get me off on a technicality. This offense still gave me points on my license and I am worse off than if I had not hired her.
I think many other attorneys would do a better job for you.

Pros:
— It was easy for them to accept payment through their web-​site.
— They took my case with just few days before my hearing date.
Cons:
— Awful client communication. I kept having to ask what was happening, as they wouldn’t confirm receipt of emails or let me know what was going on, unless I called and talked to an assistant.
— I never spoke once with Jeannie
— When trying to reach Jeannie to discuss the details of my ticket, I was told by assistants, «Don’t worry about it, that doesn’t matter we’ll get your ticket off on a technicality». That didn’t happen, judge ruled in favor of the cops — maybe they should have listened to me?
— My case was lost and I received a letter in the mail.
— Ticket then cost me $ 200, instead of the original $ 140 I should of just paid.
— Insurance is now being increased.
— I don’t believe every case can be won, but I felt Jeannie and staff were far too over-​confident in their ability to get my ticket cleared.
— I received a form letter telling me I lost. I would have preferred a client phone call to make sure the ticket was cleared or paid.
— I thought communication was poor. Even though services have been offered for free on a future ticket, I wouldn’t want to go through this experience again.
— I sent a complaint email a week ago and never heard back.

Like others listed on Unilocal,I truly appreciated Jeannie’s services and the result.
I drive two hours per day between Auburn and Seattle, inadvertantly acquiring two speeding tickets in a six month [or less] period.
One involved a detour of a detour, not knowing the speed. The other involved a motorcycle cop hiding in bushes of someone’s house. Not cool.
My husband was concerned with the effect on our insurance, so we hired Jeannie. The process, though expensive, was very easy as she did all of the leg work. I recently discovered that my second ticket was dropped, so it was definitely worth it.
PS– I know longer have a lead foot. :)

Awesome. I got a reckless driving ticket last month for $ 550. Sent a copy of my ticket to her and she took care of everything. Didn’t have to show up in court at all. Got conformation yesterday that my ticket was completely dismissed! Well worth it. She only charged me $ 500 to fight my case. Staff is friendly and there to answer all your questions. WIll use her again if ever needed!

Jeannie Mucklestone is the best, and you get what you pay for with her.
Two or three years ago, I got a speeding ticket in Port Townsend. Nobody else covers Jefferson County, it seems – at least nobody here in town whose reputation I could verify through friends and colleagues. Jeannie is well known for success in dealing with tickets, so I logged on to her website, paid her via the credit card billing mechanism there, and waited while she did all the work. She completely took care of it. It wasn’t cheap, but I am so glad to have it completely off my record.
I feel a little funny admitting publicly that I have had two tickets taken care of when I have always been such a cautious driver, but I hate to see people have their premiums boosted when it’s avoidable. Traffic attorneys aren’t widely discussed, generally. I was lucky. I shared an office with a sports motorcycle enthusiast who, uh, knows about these things. So I had the skinny. Now you do too.

Yep. I have a leadfoot; so when I hired Jeannie, it was to get me off on a speeding ticket. I had previously hired another attorney to deal with another ticket, and per our agreement, when he had the fee reduced he paid the remainder out of his fee. No such luck here.
While Jeannie comes highly recommended, I was apparently one who fell through the cracks. After sending in my ticket and payment, I didn’t hear anything for a couple of weeks. When I did receive the resulting letter, it informed me that the charge had been changed to one which would not be reported to my insurance company (which remains to be seen at this point). The amount to be paid had been knocked down from $ 150 or so to $ 130, which I was informed I’d have to pay within 30 days.
I’m not naïve, and I know there’s risk involved and there are nuances to the law that I don’t understand – this could indeed be a great deal – but for $ 350 I really expect a bit more. I’ve read other reviews mentioning what a gamble this can be, and I’d have to agree – I’m now out $ 470 and can only hope that my insurance company doesn’t in fact get informed of this new charge, or else this was all for naught.
Jeannie seems to have some very happy customers, but for me, I think I’d likely try out an attorney who guarantees results or agrees to pay for the difference. $ 350 is just too much of a gamble.

Jeannie has dealt with cases for my family for years, and every time it is a very simple and pleasant process. From filling the information with her, and keeping us updated, it’s as seamless as can be.
My family and I would recommend her 100% of the time for anyone who needs help for any sort of traffic infraction. Simply the best!

I have to agree with everyone else, Jeannie is as good as it gets for folks that have the unfortunate luck of getting any sort of traffic infraction. I’ve hired Jeannie once a few years ago and she was able to get the PA to agree to change my speeding infraction to a non-​moving infraction. Thus keeping it off my driving record.
I currently have another open speeding infraction that I’ve hired Jeannie to represent me on. I was on my way to the Lynnwood P&R and was pulled over about ½ a mile from my house on a residential street. I was like WTF, who conducts traffic stops on residential streets and at 6:40AM??? I admit that I was speeding a bit as I was trying to make my bus but still, conducting a traffic stop on my residential street!!!
Anyways, the ticket was $ 154 and when I got to the office, I sent Jeannie an email and she responded right away. Paid her fee on the website through Paypal, sent her a copy of the ticket and a copy to the court requesting a contested hearing. When you get the court date letter, make a copy of it and then send it to Jeannie with the original envelope it came in and you’re all set. You don’t need to attend the court date, Jeannie and her staff does everything for you. If she can’t get your ticket dismissed, she should at least be able to get the PA to agree to change it to a non-​moving violation. After all, we know all the PA cares about most of the time is collecting the $$ and not whether it was for speeding or a seat-​belt violation.
Her charge is $ 350 but in the long run if your lead footed like me, it’s worth it! Trust me on this one!

Leadfooted in Seattle?
Jeannie is your friend! One of my various tickets was actually lost by Jeannie, so she gave me a «Get outta the next one for free card». Of course, as luck would have it, I needed this and she came through. Amongst, my friends and family, she’s batting ~ 90% and we unfortunately have a significant amount of data to back up this claim!

Jeannie had my case dismissed without me having to take time off work. She was referred to me by a colleague and got the result I wanted. The office staff was great with communications and was ready to answer all questions. Work on my end was definitely minimal.
Jeannie and her office staff was professional and handled my case with ease. My experience was a great one and would definitely call on her again should I get another speeding ticket!

Got a ticket? No problem.
Call Jeannie, or just fill out the web form. Follow the simple directions, pay a reasonable fee, and you have amazingly good odds of your case being dismissed after Jeannie tears them a new one in court– while you kick back and do nothing.
Amongst my friends and I she’s 4 of 4 getting those annoying BS speeding tickets dismissed.

I am close friends with a DA in Issaquah, after getting a ticket that would affect a prior deferment and my insurance rates I decided to ask for legal help. After talking to my friend who works as a DA she said that by far the best lawyer to represent me for traffic in the area is Jeannie P Mucklestone.
Later that week I contacted her and told her staff the story and they thought it was ironic because my friend, the DA, has often times been on the opposite side of the court room from Ms. Mucklestone and although they are not friends outside the courtroom they have earned a lot of respect for each other.
Well Jeanie Mucklestone’s staff were prompt and efficient and I got out of the ticket no problem and was very pleased at their ability to effectively and efficiently handle my situation.

Although Jeannie got me out of a speeding ticket, which I am very grateful and happy about, I wasn’t happy about the following:
1. I’ve used the services of another traffic attorney several years back. I want to say it was back in 2001 – 2002. I can’t remember his name or the exact fee he charged to get me out of a speeding ticket back then, but it was somewhere in the $ 150-​$ 200 range. Even when you take into consideration inflation and Jeannie, possibly, being a better attorney, it’s still hard to stomach paying approximately 2x as much as I paid back then for the same results.
2. If you happen to be unlucky and Jeannie can’t get you out of your traffic infraction (it’s rare, but it happens), you’re out however much it cost you to hire Jeannie, you have to pay the ticket, and your insurance rates go up. It’s a triple whammy.
I’ve seen an ad for another attorney offering to give your money back if they lose. To me, that sounds fair. Jeannie’s model is people pay her for her efforts, results be damned. Sure she has a very high success rate, but there is no guarantee. The other attorney’s model is screw effort, you’re paying them for the results. In the end, isn’t results the only thing that truly matters?
3. Lastly, there is no «frequent flier» discount. Certainly not every business has one and owners are entitled to do as they please, but it would be much appreciated. I’m dropping $ 350 a pop, which is not cheap for the average Joe. It’d be nice if you could cut me some slack if I continue to give you my patronage. It doesn’t have to be half off or something ridiculous, but what about 10%-20% off? I’m just saying…
Would I use her again? Maybe. Is she perfect? No, and that’s why I’m not giving her a perfect score. To me, a perfect traffic attorney is someone who is:
1. courteous
2. competent
3. has a proven track record of success
4. reasonably priced
5. rewards continued patronage
6. has a money back guarantee (or something along those lines) in case they are not able to do what you paid them to do.
While Jeannie exemplifies the first three qualities, she is not the latter three. I will admit that, perhaps, my expectations are unreasonable. If, upon further reflection, I come to the conclusion they are, I will happily modify my review and rating. For now, though, I have to believe a better traffic attorney exists that can meet my expectations or come closer to them than Jeannie.

Jeannie Mucklestone has a perfect ⁷⁄₇ record with my family. That’s 2 for me, 2 for my wife, and 3 for my Dad. Let me be honest: In each case we were guilty of excessive speed.
«How does she do it?» we asked her, because it really is incredible. «A technicality,» she replied. «What if there is no technicality?» we asked. «There’s ALWAYS a technicality,» she said.
It works exactly as my fellow Unilocalers said — contest the ticket, send in a check, notify her of the court appearance, and forget about it. A few months later you’ll get a form letter from Jeannie telling you it’s been dismissed for lack of evidence.
My only complaint about her firm: She doesn’t have a frequent-​user punchcard.
