My Hopeless Case

My case was hopeless... I received three tickets: uninsured vehicle, unregistered vehicle, and suspended license. I contacted the office Gannes & Musico, LLP, and obtained the legal representation of attorney Gannes. To my great surprise, each one of th...e tickets was dismissed. If you need legal representation, let her represent you. She is a highly skilled, urbane attorney who operates with the highest standards of integrity. Sincerely, Dr. Allen R. Stevens, President, Learning Institute For Employability (LIFE), Inc.

Scam

Terrible. This is a scam. If I could rate 0 I would. Don't waste your money, they will lie to you in regards to process and legalities around your ticket, take your money, and show up to court likely unprepared, IF AT ALL! For example - Margo "pushed back" my case 3 years! Telling me initially that b...y pushing it back further than 1 year, the case would be dismissed and points expired. 3years later I get a call from them informing me I need to pay her $300 to show up to court for me (despite their initial conversation with me). When I called her to discuss she was extremely dismissive, rude, and didn't even know anything about my case or me (I.E. I don't even have a NY drivers license or plates). Obviously she lost my case, so I now have to pay the ticket and accrue points on my license after paying for their terrible services. Now looking over these other reviews, I'm quite certain she didn't even show up to court. Disgusting.

Sorry that you feel this way. We absolutely went to court and as we discussed in the past, we will do everything that we can to win your ticket, but the decision is up to the judge and the judge found you guilty.

Horrible advocate

She was the worst lawyer I have ever had her interest in her clients were minimal. I gave her 10 cases to represent me on in traffic court I was found guilty for every single one she did not even ask me for documentation which would possible prove my innocence instead she told me there's one basic st...atute for these cases and that's all she can do. I asked for a refund on the tickets she did not yet represent me on and I am still waiting to get my 400$ back it has been Almost two weeks now since she claimed she returned the money to my card but the bank nor her office has any idea why I have not received my money yet. To make matters worse when I told her I was going to retain a new lawyer she told me that any lawyer in the Brooklyn north may be covered under her and if that's the case they won't take my case either. I plan to report her to the bar of association if I do not get justice

Best traffic attorney in NYC.

I met Margo while attempting to fight a moving violation in court by myself. The judge basically laughed at me and ordered me to pay. As I waited for my case to be called, I watched Margo in action and could tell right away she knew what she was doing. She was well spoken, knew the law, and kept g...etting cases thrown out or reduced. I immediately went up to her and asked her for her card. She was extremely approachable and friendly. I later contacted her to help me fight my "driving while talking on cellphone" infraction which recently had it's day in court. Margo got it thrown out and I didn't even have to show up. It felt like a miracle had happened. Now I don't have to worry about an additional 5 points taken off my license.

Super Proffesional Lawyer

I would like to recommend the wonderful service received from Margo! She is professional, responsible and nice. She took care of my case very seriously and was able to help me and represented me at court and was able to cancel my ticket.... thank you Margo
