Jackie and her staff were very helpful and accommodating to me with payment plans and were always nice and courteous. It took me a while to get the balance down and they always gave me kind and gentle reminders and nice phone calls. Jackie actually got me off for one of my tickets!! No demerit points no charge!! Very impressed and happy with her and the team at street legal. Nice women doing good things and helping people.

Jackie is fantastic at what she does! I was accused of driving 43 over the limit on a highway and I was a bit scared that I wouldn’t stand a chance to win the case. But jackie was very confident that she would get the charges withdrawn. And of course she got the case withdrawn fully. No demerit point, No fine. I’m so grateful for your help on this one jackie. And I also want to say thank you to Amanda, who helped me on the case. Anyone looking for a legal help on you traffic tickets, look no other. Jackie is the real deal!!
