honestly Great

MR. Birch is great. I had gotten a ticket for going 34 miles per hour over the speed limit on a highway. I was at risk of a hefty fee, 8 points, and a potential suspended license. MR. Birch was able to get the ticket dismissed with no fee or points on my license.

Tickets

Worst lawyer ever!! Never updated me about my case.He lost the case and not told me and I received mail letter from dmv.I was found guilty so I ended up paying for the ticket and his fee. The least they could’ve done is to give me a call and let me know about my situation. Waste of money!

Saved my livelyhood

Mr. birch was referred to me by a friend, i had gotten two moving violations,crossing a double line and failure to yield, totalling 5 points , my current driving job and my potential MTA job was in jepordy, so i hired Mr. Birch he was very professional and he assured me me he would do his best t...o get these tickets dismissed after a few postponements and thats exactly what he. Did, I cant thank him enough for saving my job and my future at the MTA. i would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good traffic lawyer.

FIRST CLASS

Jamie took care of cell phone ticket for me that had been hanging over my head for over a year and a half. I already had points on my license so 5 more would have made my insurance coverage astronomical. Jamie saved the day. Got everything dismissed! He is a first class attorney!

Saved me from a 5 point ticket!

I was referred to Mr. Birch by a friend who had previously hired him and had a great experience. Mr. Birch was professional and very knowledgeable. He told me his plan of action of how he would handle my case. He gave me instructions about what I had to do, which I followed. He was easy to reach ...and always available to answer my questions. Mr. Birch took my case to trial and I was found not guilty! I could not have had a better experience. I highly recommend him!

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.
