Texting while driving ticket

I got a ticket for texting while driving and found Amanda online. She called me back in a few minutes and knew the answers to all my questions. I hired her to represent me at court and she got the judge to throw out the ticket! Im so happy because I have one too many points on my driving record. Aman...da is a trustworthy attorney and I'll be keeping her number in case I need a lawyer again.

Responsive, Professional & Genuine

I reached out to Amanda after receiving a Disorderly Conduct for obstruction of traffic (completely unintentional). I lost sleep over getting a ticket as I had never been in a situation and had no idea who to call. After spending time researching attorneys who could assist, I left Amanda a message. W...ithin 15 minutes, Amanda called me back and eased my nerves. She was able to move my hearing up and obtained a verdict immediately. Amanda was quick, responsive and most importantly professional. She understood my situation and took full reign of dealing with the paperwork as I travel outside of NYC the majority of the time. I would trust her with any situation. She is ambitious and eager to grow in her career, and I am only so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her. I would recommend Amanda to ANYONE who is in need of legal assistance. While she is junior, she will be a leader in this industry.

Tough and smart- glad she was on my side

Amanda is the real deal. Thanks to her my disorderly conduct charge was dismissed. I was worried as heck but she answereed all my questions and always emailed me back fast. I am happy I had your help Amanda. Thanks a million

A true professional

Amanda got my misdemeanor charge reduced to a violation, helping me avoid a criminal record. She is professional and always kept me updated about my case. Thanks Amanda!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
