Terrible place! Bad law practices! Illegal procedures! Money hungry tyrants!

So it appears the court can give my info out to a list of lawyers to solicit me yet I when I call court and provide all information they ask, they can't tell me when my court day is! This is really incredible!

Judge McMahon is a very remarkable and respectful judge. He makes sure you really understand everything. And also goes by the book. I know there are others that I think are there for the wrong reasons, but judge McMahon is there for us. He wants to see people accelerate in life.
