The bronx court they are all in this together?

I was given 6 tickets that were bogus and I took the traffic court officer to the CCRB in 2015. Officer Beuncourt from the 41st precient in the Bronx, admitted that he did not use discresionary judgement and that essentially he was wrong, he thought I cursed him. This lying ass officer is dangerous i...n many ways and I informed my lawyer Harvery Rivera of this fact. Mr. Rivera was good i must admit but I was not satisfied with the decision because it was quite obvious to me that all three of them were in this thing together. This was a lot of chummy stuff going on and it was as almost as if the judge just had to find me guilty on one of the violation on purpose, to get a some money like this was a big hustle. I watched them very closely and I am still skepical about this relationship with all parties mentioned above. I also felt that I was over charged by $50 but thats another story

Unethical Business

I was given a speeding ticket on 01/20/2015 hired Mr.Rivera made my payment over the phone. Getting in touch with the office is extremely difficult. They take down your information promising a call back from Mr. Rivera but that I never received. So I went to the DMV ,to find out my case was closed on... September 2017, the agent asked me who was my lawyer and the present day is February 5,2018. I paid $233 in fines , I called the law office while in the Department of Motor Vehicle and Teresa (secretary) told me my case was dismissed and I was found not guilty of any charges. When I confronted her with the situation, she quickly responded that it was my responsibility to follow up with the office. Please, do not conduct business with this establishment.

Not Good At All

hired him but seriously I could defend my self better than him. I felt really sorry the way he talked to me and other clients thinking that he's better than us. he talks to the judge who was young like he's dauther while the officer was stating. The judge didn't even here the case she just said guilt...y.
