Simply the BEST

West Rapoport successfully defended me a few times in the past 9years. His rates are fair and he gets results! The process is seamless and I highly recommend his services.

THE BEST OF THE BEST

I've been doing Business with Mr.West for over 8 years. Simple, had it not been for him , my job , license and driving privileges would have been gone a long time ago. Mr.West is the real deal , over 10 serious traffic offenses dealt by him in these past 8 years , all from red light , speeding to goi...ng down the wrong way. (Yes I am a troubled driver) but Mr.west has been there for them all with terrific success. Today I went in for a ticket that thought I could handle on my own , but saw his face and said to myself , "why do it " hired him again , on the spot , results? OUTSTANDING as always , ticket dissmissed. Prices are awesome , professionalism couldn't have been better , and advise , the most honest I've ever experienced , I will not, EVER, try another attorney. Mr.West is the way to go , GREAT JOB.

WEST IS BEST!!

This guy gets things done, as if making TRAFFIC TICKETS disappear with a sleigh of hand. First time with Mr. West. And as always, a bit weary about the type of service I would receive for the sum I was aked to pay up front. Fast forward 6 months, and Mr. West successfully "dismissed" 2 tickets. One... for unlicensed driver, the other for USING A CELL PHONE. No points. No fees. Just a happy day! Thanks Mr. West. Much appreciated. - Franklin Pristine Wood Flooring

Great lawyer

I ran into this lawyer at the DMV and he gave me a business card. When I contacted him, he responded promptly. He quoted me a reasonable price and I met with him to talk about my case. He seemed very knowledgeable about Vehicle and Traffic Laws and codes. He showed this when we finally appeared in co...urt and the police officer tried to say he charged me with a completely different vtl code than what was on the actual summons. I was found not guilty, paid no fine and no points. I was obviouly satisfied with the results and glad I ran into him at the DMV. He's a good guy, wants to help and really knows his stuff.

A Million Big Bright Stars For West Reid Rapoport!!!

I was having to commute 100 miles upstate to pick up my little daughter from gradeschool a lot, and what with New York traffic jams, I wound up speeding a lot to arrive on time. I already had 11 points (that's AFTER I took the Defensive Driving course and had subtracted four points), and now I was go...ing to lose my license for sure. I was coming back south into the city thinking about my daughter's mother and probably DID drive through FIVE STOP SIGNS like the cop said. Thank God that I happened to meet West Reid Rapoport in the waiting room. He had us postpone twice to degrade the cop's memory, he coached me, he told me what to say, he had me go photograph all five streets at the five stop signs---and none of them had a painted stop line. I also printed a google map showing the locations. So we were going to argue my case from the five missing painted lines (and the sun angle on that date and hour in January blinding me going up the hill). But when the sleepy looking cop said his spiel, West Reid Rapoport was rapidly scribbling---and he knew all the streets by heart---and whereas the cop said I was going north on Riverside, West said I was actually going south off the Henry Hudson, and the judge (a really sweet-looking young gal who looked exactly like my first girl-friend Wendy) said NOT GUILTY, let me go and was chewing out the sheepish cop as we walked out the door. I couldn't believe it. It was like GET OUT OF JAIL FREE, plus COLLECT FORTY DOLLARS (reimbursal of my bond). I had to give West Reid Rapoport a big hugin the waiting room, and highly recommend him to all the other guilty drivers still standing in line. Would I let my daughter marry West Reid Rapoport! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
