Greedy & Incompetent

Worst Lawyers I have ever dealt with. You can contact them for weeks without ever hearing back. They lost my evidence for the case multiple times and have to keep asking me for it while still not answering my questions. Margo Gannes then lied to me saying everything was dismissed and a month later I ...received criminal conviction notices because they never showed up to court. Then when it was all said and done they gave me the wrong info on how to pay my fines and would not help me figure out how to actually pay. They have no problem taking your hard earned money up front though.

Margo wins

Margo is my competitor. She fights traffic tickets in New York City and does a great job. She shows up and she fights.

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.
