I hired the law office of Mr. Magnell to handle a traffic accident that I had been involved in on the NY State thruway.
Everyone in his office, including Megan and Kate, dealt with me in an extremely professional manner and were always available via phone and email communication.
I was very satisfied with the final outcome as my initial ticket would have resulted in points on my license and Mr. Magnell was successful in getting the ticket reduced to no points.
I was very happy with the firm's responsiveness and would definitely recommend them to any potential client.

Mr. Magnell and his support staff were engaged to handle a traffic offense for my 20 year old son who was traveling outside our home state to visit a friend. I was nervous given my physical location is about 1000 miles from where the offense occurred & where Mr. Magnell maintains his office. He and his staff were extremely professional in my dealings with them and were able to negotiate a favorable response for us. They far exceeded my expectations and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a legal advocate.

I hired Mr. Magnell originally for a speeding ticket and another infraction. While the court managed to mess it pretty bad (lost the tickets, info, depositions), Mr. Magnell's office was able to bring it to an excellent disposition in my favor. No complaints, other than most of my communication was via his associate, Ms. Benson. She was responsive and kept me informed, e-mail glitches aside (on both our parts).
I actually found Mr. Magnell doing a web search in the court's area, and of all those attorney's I contacted, Mr. Magnell was the most professional and timely when replying to me. I had no clue about him, and decided to take a chance on someone unknown to me and those around me. It turned out to be a very sound choice.
I'll be inquiring as to whether or not Mr. Magnell handles business law, as my company's last attorney (who became a close friend) has since passed away. Good... no, EXCELLENT and TRUSTWORTHY attorneys are hard to find. This is one attorney I hope to continue doing business with!

I came to Mr. Magnell's office with some serious traffic violations and he and his staff handled them efficiently and effectively. 7 tickets (2 of them misdemeanors) reduced to a speeding violation and three parking tickets. 30+ points reduced to 6. The resolution was better than I could have expected. I felt like I was very well taken care of. I can't recommend him more. Thank you Mr. Mangell & Kate!

I have got an excellent service by Glenn Magnell office. My speeding and belt restraints violation points were decreased from 12 to 2. Everyone I have speak at Mr. Magnell's office ( Mr. Magnell himself, Kate Benson, Megan Hayton ) was very helpful, polite and efficient.

I am an attorney who practices in Pennsylvania. My niece got a speeding ticket driving through Tuxedo. She also lives out of state. I searched for alot of lawyers online and decided to retain Mr. Magnell. I was either lucky or smart. Glenn was fantastic. I got the result Mr. Magnell said MIGHT happen without having to appear. Nothing like having a home court advantage.

Glenn has helped me with with quite a few "fundraiser" tickets along the small villages up the 87 and each time was successful in getting tickets reduced to a non-moving violations or something that's quite low on the points scale. Glenn has also helped me with VTL 509 and 511 (AUO 3 and 2) cases where driving privilege was suspended without my knowledge and was successful both times. I highly recommend Glenn and his staff. Glenn, Sally and Kate have all been very understanding, courteous and professional when handling my cases.

I am very thankful to Mr. Glenn Magnell for his assistance. Driving with my wife, son and granddaughter after attending the 4 July fireworks, I was stopped by a police officer at 12:30 am and given tickets for speeding and bypassing on the right. The latter was not true - do not understand how the officer figured that out - one cannot bypass on the right on 17M, which is a single lane road in one direction unless the vehicle you are bypassing is moving on the left against traffic! I later checked, as I pass frequently on that road, even if I indeed violated the speed limit which is 55 there, it was very minimal. The officer did not appear to be equipped with a speed checking device.
Anyway, I faced 6 points, a "responsibility fee" that NYS DMV imposes, and a possible increase in insurance payment. Mr Magnell provided me with advice and took over the case which he handled professionally and successfully. Thanks to him, the DA reduced my "violations" to a parking ticket of $75. Justice prevailed!
I strongly recommend to seek Mr. Magnell's assistance. You are guaranteed fair representation, exclusive service and maximum results to your benefit. My thanks also go to Kate who assisted in communications and arrangements.

Mr. Glenn Magnell represented me after I had been arrested for two
criminal misdemeanors; possession of a dangerous instrument and place another person in reasonable fear of physical injury. After being arrested I was very nervous, anxious and upset. Mr. Magnell explained
my entire legal situation. To make a long story short, Mr. Magnell was able to get those two criminal misdemeanors dropped during the court
proceedings. I had plead guilty to harassment in the 2nd degree, a non
criminal offense. I was very much relieved not to have a criminal offense on my record. If in the future I should ever have a need for a
very caring person, a wonderful and experienced lawyer for legal representation, I would without doubt contact Mr. Magnell immediately.
Any and all questions I had were answered timely and in a professional manner by Mr. Magnell's staff. Both my wife and I are very pleased.

I was facing a 6 point speeding violation, two 3 point passing violations, and an equipment violation, which would've totaled 12 points (resulting in my license being suspended and a 4-figure fine.) Mr. Magnell took my case on short notice, and his firm was extremely responsive and communicated with me every step of the process. Thanks to Mr. Magnell, the D.A. reduced my bundle of violations to a 2 point non-speeding violation and a parking ticket. That's a reduction from 12 points to 2 points. I would never hesitate to hire Mr. Magnell as an attorney again, and I would recommend him to anyone living in the Catskills or Hudson Valley.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sally Cupertino-Krumpholc for the excellent service I received recently to fight a speeding ticket. Sally was a thorough professional and always responded in a timely manner. It was a joy to work with her and I loved her personality.
Posted by Sharon, a Speeding Ticket client, Flag
I was extremely impressed with the assistance we received from this law firm. We enlisted their help with a NY speeding ticket that got reduced to a parking ticket and avoided additional points. Glenn took the time to explain the process to us and Sally was always available and an excellent communicator. We felt taken care of, well guided and well informed. Wish all service providers still offered this kind of attentive service.

I am a Canadian resident who got a speeding ticket in NY. I used Glenn Warren Magnell to help fight a NY state speeding ticket. From day one the staff was always on top of matters and responses were very quick. He got my fine reduced as mentioned from the first conversation with the paralegal.
The Staff is a pleasure to deal with, she was very pleasant, quick to respond and did an excellent job keeping me informed and following up on steps that I needed to complete.
I would recommend Glenn Warren Magnell without hesitation.

I was caught speeding on I 81 last NovI in cortland ny .When Igot home from my trip I was on the internet and came across Glenn Magnell's website and called him at 7:30 that night and was surprised that he answered the phone,so much for working bankers hours. Glenn told me over the phone what his fee was,and he could plea bargain the charge down to a parking infraction. He did exactly what he told me he was going to do in a very proffesional manner, I would also like to thank Sally and Kate for their help also, will be recommending you to my lead-footed friends. Thanks so much for everything . Rob R

A phenomenal firm. Kept me informed of the entire process, and made every step understandable for someone who had never worked with a lawyer before. I felt completely comfortable with Glenn Magnell and his firm; I worked mostly with Kate and she was friendly, patient and diligent, I knew I would get a good result with this firm representing me. And I did! A four point violation was successfully reduced to a no-point parking ticket and a reasonable fine. I knew Glenn Magnell's firm was dedicated to getting great results and I'm very happy I chose this firm. Great prices for the service, I highly recommend his firm to anyone who needs help with a traffic ticket.

I worked directly with paralegal Sally. Very helpful and responsive.
Ticket reduced to eliminate points. Exactly what I wanted and expected.

Trust, confidence and piece of mind. This is what I experienced with the law firm of Glenn Magnell. Staff very professional and courteous and made me feel more at ease with my options.

I am a Canadian that used Glenn Warren Magnell to help fight a NY state speeding ticket. I thought that they were fantastic as they got my ticket reduced sucessfully and quickly. Their legal fee was clear and resonable. The paralegaI was a pleasure to deal with, she was very pleasent, quick to respond and did an excellent job keeping me informed and following up on steps that I needed to complete.
I had initially called a popular Canadian firm to fight the ticket for me but found that they were hard to reach. I was also asked to sign a contract which was not clear about the total cost of their legal fees - when I questioned this I never heard back from them.
I would recommend Glenn Warren Magnell without hesitation.

I was driving on the NYS thruway near Airmont. I was pulled over and given a ticket for 82 in a 65. I was not speeding and I do not go that fast. I first protested it and scheduled a court appearance. When I learned that this was part of NYS money making machine, I knew I was not going to win even though I was in the right. I contacted Glenn's office and spoke to Sally. She was very professional and courteous and made me feel more at ease with my options.
Finally, Glenn was able to reduce the penalty from a large fine and 4 pts to a parking violation and no pts.
Thanks to Glenn, Sally and Kate for their fine work and very courteous service. This was the best value for money spent I have ever had.
Now if Glenn could straighten out the corruption in the police department and courts, he could run for governor.

Driving on the newburgh/beacon bridge at 61, according to the trooper, I failed to slow down to 40 before the toll. The ticket was for 61 in a 40 which would have been 6 points and numerous fines along with a rate increase on my insurance. Glenn was about to get it down to a parking ticket with no points and he was even able to plea bargin down the price of the parking ticket from 150 to 100. This man knows his stuff, he knows just how hard to push. I was kept informed thru-out the 2 year process with Kate who was a pleasure to deal with, and witty to I might add.

I received a speeding ticket of 67 in a 35 Zone, I used Glenn and he was very up front with me about what I am facing and he did not get my hopes up but he delivered. The ticket was plea bargained and settled with parking on a sidewalk. No points non-moving violation.Great Job!!

Multiple tickets, dealing with a DUI. Although I ended up paying fines and having to attend some classes, and loosing my NY licence for 6 months, it could have been a lot worse. It was so nice to have Glenn there to talk and stand up for me. I could not have got through this without him and his very helpful, knowledgeable, and respectful staff!

A complicated 3-charge basket of tickets on the Taconic Pkwy, including a criminal misdemeanor and 6-point speeding. Extensive online research, including these reviews, pointed unequivocally to Atty. Magnell.
Results were as recounted by others - very reasonable fee, very efficient, polite and pleasant office staff (hello Kate), appropriate hand-holding (ditto Kate), waiver of my need to appear, and skillful Attorney negotiation with the AG's office resulting in reduction of the misdemeanor to a non-criminal violation (no points), and a conviction for illegal parking (no points). Third charge was dismissed.
Result met or exceeded expectations. Couldn't recommend Mr. Magnell and his firm more highly.

Mr. Magnell was punctual in returning phone calls and knew more than any other attorney I consulted in the area regarding traffic incidents. As I was from out of town, I needed a reliable attorney to handle my incident in my absence, Mr. Magnell and his staff made the process of my case seamless. I spent very little time worrying, and the outcome was better than expected. Thanks for your professionalism and knowledge.
Posted by Sandeep, a Speeding Ticket client, Flag
A few acquaintances, and myself (5 cars total) were stopped by the local police in a small town, and all given tickets for unsafe speed, and a failure to maintain our lanes. This despite the the fact that the officers who wrote the tickets witnessed nothing, and just decided to penalize everyone.
Mr Magnell successfully pled the tickets which carried hundreds of dollars in fines,and 6 points on our licenses down to a single parking ticket, with zero points.
His services paid for the fines & insurance surcharges many, many times over, and he himself, and his staff were very helpful, professional, and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend them

Glenn did a great job getting my teenage daughter's speeding ticket (88 in a 65), reduced down to a fine and no points. Thank you. Kate handled our case from start to finish and was very organized, communicated well, She keep us informed throughout the entire process, she was outstanding! I spoke to 3 other lawyers before going with Glenn, his knowledge and understanding of the case made it an easy decision. I would highly recommend Glenn to handle any legal action.

I have had many speeding tickets over the years,but no attorney ever got one reduced to a parking ticket. Glenn did! What a great guy. If he isn't in his office, you can actually reach him on his cell phone. Amazing! His assistant, Kate, is very good about keeping you up to date on the process. This law firm is worth every penny---and more. There should be a Glenn for every speeder in America. I was so blessed to have found him.

I hired Glenn to defend me in a traffic case - I am from Canada and his firm successfully saw me through a plea bargain that saw my points and fine dramatically reduced. Sally, a paralegal in his office, kept me abreast of every stage of the negotiations and truly seemed concerned and interested in my case. I am extremely pleased with their service and would use them again without hesitation.

Great staff, friendly and communicative. Turned around a guaranteed speeding ticket/driving ban to a 2 point failing to yield non speeding ticket.
Very communicative and obviously effective. I interviewed several rude and uninterested parties before settling on him. Glad I did.

Mr. Magnell is amazing in Understanding your "Case" very well. He bounces the facts and the applicable Laws to your "Case". He advises you of your legal options and tells his predictions for each.
One important thing DO NOT LIE to him. Make sure you tell him all your facts and the surroundings of your "Case" so that he can analyze your "Case" correctly. He conducts through investigations (as needed) and put your defense together on time without delays.
He is simply great & dedicated to your "Case" beginning to end.

Glenn and his staff are extremely knowledgeable about the law and know the judges and state troopers in the area where he practices. He or his assistant answered email questions promptly, both before and after we had hired him to handle two separate speed-related offenses for my wife and me. He is an excellent and courteous attorney, who enjoys representing his clients and helping to minimize the impact of traffic-related charges.

I was given a ticket for speeding in Stafford county. I live in ontario and i was not able to deal with the matter. So i transfered the matter to Mr. Magnell and for a fee of $300 US he was able to bring my ticket down to a praking violation. Otherwise i would have gotton points on my license. The staff was friendly and efficient in responding to my emails immdiately. The instruction were clear and precise. The matter didn't take long to resolve with little done on my part.

I am an out of state driver who did not understand the states compact law, I obtained several tickets in NY and did not realize paying the fine did not clear them up entirely. After accumulating many points my privilege to drive in NY was revoked which in turn suspended my Pennsylvania License. The office of Glenn Magnell treated me with the up most respect took the time to explain what had occurred and what they could do to help me resolve my revoked license. Upon hiring them they quickly began working on a very complicated case. Today I was informed that my driving privilege has been reinstated. I am completely satisfied with their business practices and would recommend them.

My experience in dealing with Mr. Magnell's office was a pleasant one. His staff is helpful, pleasant, and knowledgable. Communication was prompt. My traffic violation was resolved within 2 months with a very favorable outcome. I hope that I won't need his services again in the future but would highly recommend his firm to anyone who does.

The process was quick and easy. Our traffic ticket was canceled and we haven't paid anything beyond the legal fees which were very reasonable.
We would definitely use Glenn's legal services again (although hopefully there will be no need for that anymore).

I hired Glenn to represent my daughter on a speeding ticket in Goshen NY. He was extremely helpful & professional at all times. This action took several months and during this time he was always effective in communicating and creating a strategy on the next move. I enjoyed working with him, as well as the outcome to the negotiations. He had my daughter's ticket reduced to an extremely low penalty and points. He surely earned any future business I have in requiring an attorney. I would highly recommend him to friends and family. He was outstanding.
