This review is grossly misleading and partially false. The falsity is that we NEVER "usually recommend paying the ticket..." That is a bald faced lie. In fact, had we done that with this person then why would they have retained us? In NYC the court is an administrative tribunal, which has a no plea bargaining policy. So UNLESS you fight the ticket you are found guilty 100% of the time. We make this clear to EVERYONE that contacts us that the only path to dismissal is to fight the ticket. We also make it exceedingly clear that there are no guarantees in NYC that you can lose despite our best efforts. In fact, this is the very language of the retainer agreement this guy signed: "please note that we do not guarantee a particular or even favorable result. In other words...you might lose at trial. You might be found guilty of the charge or charges you are currently facing despite our best efforts." This is what this liar signed. It was right there in black and white. In NYC, the name of the game is to delay the case for as long as we can so that even if as here the client is found guilty we avoided the insurance increase, because we took the case to trial after getting them through all, or most, of the insurance increase period. We also get our client's court appearance waived. That is EXACTLY what we did in this case. Rather than go on and on in detail, just check out our web page on how and why we defend NYC tickets the way we do here: http://www.mpalumbolaw.com/new-york-city-ticket-defense.html. The simple fact of the matter is that no one knows whether they will be found guilty or not in NYC until AFTER the trial. Every day we have clients whose cases are dismissed and clients who are found guilty. It happens. One has to have a risk and loss tolerance if they are going to retain counsel in NYC, and If this guy did not have the risk & loss tolerance then he should have just plead as charged. Don't listen to what this misleading complainer who had unrealistic expectations has to say. Check out what our hundreds of other clients from both in and out of NYC have said about us in their own words. Then, pick up the phone, speak to us, and judge for yourself.
