Would not recommend their service

Mrs. Marks and her associates were are very unresponsive and had never provided any updates throughout the process. I sent emails and call numerous time. Once I received a letter from the DMV stating that she did not show in court and my license could be suspended. When I called she was rude. And in... the end, I received 3 points and fine. Please look elsewhere, plenty of other lowers. Would not recommend their service at all.

Poor Lawyer

Helene was extremely unprofessional and unhelpful. She failed to show up to several of my cases and the DMV had notified me that my license would be suspended due to her actions. She did not reach out to me one time within the 2 years of fighting my fail to yield pedestrian ticket. Trying to get in c...ontact with her was useless and failed to reach out to me after several times trying to contact her. Overall unprofessional. Find a different lawyer!

Since you posted this review without leaving your name, I am unable to address your concerns. However, I can assure you that I did appear on all of the court appearances, and you license was never suspended. Please also check your emails for all updates of your court case, as this is our standard practice. I am always professional, and I am uncertain of why you have alleged that I was unprofessional. Please feel free to contact my office with any specific concerns, and we will always respond to them.

Worst Lawyer

Worst experience with the worst attorney. After almost one year and doing a list of requirements, she did NOTHING. Paying your ticket is gonna save you A LOT OF MONEY.

Save your money

I received a speeding ticket on SI. It was postponed by the court and finally it was scheduled for almost 18 months after the incident date. I haven't received a moving violation on over 30 years and had a clean abstract. It was 75 in a 40 on the Staten Island Expressway. Any good lawyer could have g...ot it reduce in the speed based on my record. Instead, nothing. An 8 point ticket, over $300 fine and that NYS driver assessment nonsense another$450. Tag on her $350 fee. That's $1,100. I personally believe she doesn't care, it's easy sucker money for her. I won't elaborate to much, but an attorney I hired in NJ on something got a reckless driving, 5 point dismissed and a speeding ticket speed reduced to make it two points. Bottom line, find a attorney with knowledge.

I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with my representation. I do not know who you are, since you have not identified yourself, and you never contacted me with your complaints, so I cannot specifically address your concerns. However, there is no plea bargaining in the New York City system, as I am sure I explained to you. If we do not win at trial, you will not get any reduction in the ticket. Since the ticket is over 18 months old, thanks to me adjourning your case, it is no longer on your record. Please feel free to contact me so I may further explain the situation. Your fee was not "easy sucker money for me". My clients are my main concern.
