Two moving violations

Given the reputation of the Staten Island Traffic Court's decisions, I thought I was fighting a losing battle. After consulting Helene, she gave me the confidence that I had a good case to win on both tickets. Thru her strategy both tickets were dismissed. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I ha...d a clean record for 50 years and now I can still make that claim thanks to Helene. Thank you again, Rich M

Staten Island ticket dismissed immediately

I got a speeding ticket in Staten Island which is notorious for being difficult or near impossible to fight. I called a ton of people who all said the same thing, "Good luck but don't expect to win." Then someone actually recommended Helene Mark instead of fighting the ticket himself. I called her.... She got my ticket dismissed immediately. She is fast, professional, knowledgeable, and also just great to work with. Thank you Helene!

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.

Replied last August 16, 2016

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.
