TOLL VIOLATION

I had a toll violation issue, and she helped me handle it very smoothly. I was really stressed, but she managed everything calmly and professionally. She explained every step clearly and made the whole process much easier for me. I’m truly thankful for her support and guidance. I would highly reco...mmend her to anyone who needs legal help. She is knowledgeable, kind, and very reliable.

Attorney Katz will give you a fighting chance!

Attorney Katz listened and was very empathetic to my case. She offered me proper guidance and feedback regarding the process. Attorney Katz gave me a fighting chance for what I felt was an unjustified ticket and I’m thankful for her involvement because I’m certain without her, I would have lost my ca...se. It takes years of experience and understanding of the court, which attorney Katz has, to win a case. Attorney Katz was very reasonable with her fees and was worth every penny! If you want a fighting chance hire Attorney Katz!

Cell phone Electronic Device Use While Driving

I hired Colette to represent me for a traffic ticket I received for using a cell phone (electronic device) while driving and was able to get my case dismissed. She is professional and handled the case seemlessly. I simply asked her a question about a ticket at the South Manhattan Traffic Violations B...ureau Office about to enter into the room and hoping to get it dismissed. She is an expert and instead of hoping, I hired her, fought and won the case for me. Saved me 5 points and fine. Worth every penny. Her rates were affordable even for a guy like me who’s unemployed. Best Traffic Lawyer in NYC - hands down!

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.
