From SEVEN POINTS DOWN TO 2 with NO SUSPENSION.

Vikrant is the best lawyer that i've had, I was looking at 30days suspension with 7 points onto my license. I gave Mr. Advani a call and he explained every possible circumstance and what he was going to do. Very straight forward and informative, always got back to me when I emailed and or texted h...im. When my court day arrived, he stood in line for me and got everything moving. Definitely cut the wait time in half for me. I Received only 2 point out of the 7 I was looking at for speeding ( I WAS 40MPH over originally). YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE, Contact him ASAP Thank You - Alex.

Excellent, Effective & Affordable attorney - Mr. Vikrant Advani

I got three traffic tickets, (1) speeding, (2) Failure To Give Proper Signal, and (3) Careless Driving. The tickets were adding up to 8 points and $405 in fines. I contacted Mr. Vikrant Advani. He studied my situation and clearly explained me the different possibilities. His fee was very reasonable. ...It was finally settled to 2 pints and a reasonable court fees. He was very punctual, accountable and accurate. I strongly recommend Mr. Vikrant Advani.

Excellent Lawyer - Strongly Recommend

I was involved in a accident and I had three 2pt. traffic tickets tickets. I approached Mr. Vik Advani after reading the review in this site. He patiently explained me the best options in my case. I appeared in the court on 10 March and Mr. Vik Advani helped me in dismissing all the 2pt. tickets. I p...aid a fine of $275 and no points added to my license. He reassured me that he is very knowledgeable and experienced after the outcome of the case. If you are looking for a lawyer for your traffic tickets, I strongly recommend Mr. Vik Advani.

The MOST RESPONSIVE attorney I've ever dealt with. Vast knowledge of NJ laws. Professional, on time, forthright and sincere.

I received 2 tickets for a total of 7 DMV points from one traffic incident. I am a male, almost 30 years old, and was pulled over in Piscataway Township. The officer incorrectly issued the tickets to my father's name, as he is the title holder of the car. I was already at work when I noticed the m...istake, and tried contacting NJ Motor Vehicle. Well, contacting the corporate headquarters of NJ Motor Vehicle is not an easy task. After getting the run around, I decided to consult an attorney. My first call was to my local real estate attorney. We had a quick 5 minute discussion, and he said changing the tickets from my father's name to my name could be done but it would take a lot of effort. Secondly, he said getting my traffic points reduced, with my driving record, simply would not be possible. I didn't feel comfortable with what he said, so I decided to do some research online. After a few hours, I came across Vik Advani's profile on Avvo.com, and decided to give him a call. Vik picked up right away, assured me there was plenty that could be done to resolve my case, and spent close to 30 minutes on the phone discussing potential scenarios. We set an appointment to meet, discussed the retainer, and he asked me to e-mail copies of my tickets to him so he could begin working on my case. Once I met Vik in person, we discussed the case again, took care of the retainer, and he began suggesting potential scenarios. Within minutes, I realized I had one of NJ's super-lawyers in my corner. Not only did he provide me with a more than fair retainer fee, Vik went above and beyond the initial scope of work, and was able to accomplish what my real estate lawyer thought was impossible. I was floored by the level of committment Mr. Advani exhibited, especially since I had worked with many lawyers in the past. NJ Motor Vehicle sent my father a Notice of Suspension, as he was incorrectly issued my traffic violations, and points. Vik was able to contact NJ Motor Vehicle (he called, and wrote a letter), and was able to get them to hold off on suspending my father's license. In addition to getting the tickets put in my name, Vik wrote the local judge of Piscataway a letter explaining my situation, and what had transpired. When I went to court, Vik met my father and I at the local court house on time, and we proceeded directly to the prosecutor's office. I was impressed to see Vik is on a first name basis with the most of the people in the court house (especially the judge, and prosecutor). I felt as if I was a rock star with Mr. Advani by my side. In the end, Vik sorted out the issue with NJ Motor Vehicle, was able to vacate a guilty plea (incorrectly entered by me at an earlier date), got me refunded for that guilty plea, AND he was able to ELIMINATE one of my two tickets entirely, as well as lowering the original 7 points to only 2!!! Mr. Advani is THE lawyer you need to have in your corner. He literally saved me from getting my father's license suspended, as well as my own!!
