Phill Mota is an excellent lawyer and I would like to thank him for getting my drinking and driving charges withdrawn. I was driving home from a bar, I wasn't terribly over the limit, but it was late and I was tired. I fell asleep behind the wheel, flipped my car, and completely wrote if off. It was not a good situation. I was charged with impaired and over 80 mg. However, after Phill cross-examined most of the witnesses on the first day of trial, he made it apparent that the arresting officer violated my charter rights.He also casted enough doubt that I was impaired. The crown attorney subsequently withdrew my criminal charges before we finished the trial. Thanks again Phil!!
I would like to thank my lawyer Phil Mota for getting me out of a tough spot. I was facing my second DUI charge which meant, at minimum, I would be going to jail if I lost. Not to mention the hefty 3 year minimum license suspension which would make me lose my job. My case was not a winner. However, Phil took over my case and noticed there might have been enough delay in the proceedings which arguably violates my another right to a speedy trial. Phil filed the application to get the case thrown out, and he was able to use this as leverage to work out a deal. In the end, all I got was a careless driving ticket. The criminal charges were withdrawn. No jail, no 3 years suspension, no conviction. Thank you, Phil for caring about my case and doing everything possible for me.
Going through a criminal process is really scary and your lawyer needs to more than just your representative in court. Your lawyer is your rock, your advisor, your confidant, salvation and even therapist at times, so you had better choose wisely! I certainly did. My lawyer, Jeff Mass of Mass-Tang took a terrifying process, broke it down for me into a simple to understand steps, laid out my options clearly and took the fear of the unknown away, replacing it with confidence in him. He held my hand every step and was an incredible negotiator and delegate in court and in dealing with police services. Jeff is sharp, there when you need him to be, efficient, thorough, passionate about what he does and a best-of-breed litigator.
i just have to say the moment i walked into mass tsang it was nothing but professionalism. I was facing very serious charges that could potentially have giving me jail time if i was convicted. Every step of the way they guided me through the best course of actions and eventually i got my charges withdrawn with a peace bond. i can not thank them enough for what they did for me. I highly recommend using them if you need professional and thorough representation.
