Excellent representation from Villanueva and Associates!

I highly recommend the Villanueva & Sanchala law firm. Attorney Donald Sanford of Villanueva negotiated my Four tickets down to Two tickets, a fine of a few hundred dollars and no points. If I were found guilty of all four summonses, I’d be facing large fines, possible suspension of my license and y...ears of higher insurance rates. I considered representing myself, but I didn’t know the court, the Judge(s), or how to negotiate. Villanueva & Sanchala took care of everything for me and they charged a very fair amount for a retainer. I consulted with five firms before hiring Joseph Villanueva. Another firm wanted three times as much as Villanueva and the firm’s owner spent so much time talking about his expertise, I had to interrupt him to tell him the facts of my case. Mr. Villanueva listened to my concerns, he discussed the strategy with me and negotiated a very fair outcome. The possibility of not being able to drive, or care for my family hung over my head before the hearing. I am very happy with the outcome and my decision to hire Villanueva & Sanchala.

Speeding ticket

Traveling through New York and received a speeding ticket. Could not travel 4 hours back to appear in court to plea a no point violation and felt it was worth every dollar to fight the possible 4 points, huge fine and the possible future increase in insurance coverage to hire Mr. Villanueva. He was... very kind and helpful. Every email or call I made to his office was immediately answered. Got it down to a parking violation, no points and $150 fine. Very satisfied!

Amazing Outcome

Instead of the speeding ticket violation I had originally been issued Joseph Villanueva and his team were able to plead my case down for me to a lesser violation, the fee is less than expected AND it's a zero point violation! Prior to this resolution I was facing 6 points, higher fines, and insuranc...e increases. I was nervous since I had opted to not even come up, this is not near my home and would have required a 4 hour drive. I worked with them over the phone and although I knew they would do well, this outcome is even better than I had hoped for!

Outstanding!

My son and his friends travelled upstate a couple of months ago. Driving along the hilly, winding roads, with rapidly changing speed zones, he was given several speeding tickets. While researching the court, this law firm popped up. We gave them a shot. Both Joseph, and his Office Manager, Barbara, a...nswered all of our questions quickly and efficiently, even if it was after hours. They worked with the courts and were able to reduce the fines and points to almost nothing. Definitely worth retaining!!

Excellent lawyer

Communication with Joseph was excellent. I am extremely grateful and would recommend Joseph to anyone facing a traffic ticket.
