Outstanding!!

Elisa Claro is incredibly professional, attentive, reliable, and persistent. I had a speeding citation which would have suspended my driving privileges since i had 2 other previous traffic violations which I ended up pleading guilty to accruing 8 points. Another guilty plea to speeding would have tri...ggered a suspension. She explained everything, told me what my options were and was able to come up with a terrific strategy. She proved to be highly intelligent, affordable (flat fee for the services regardless if we went to trial), and was very patient with me through the whole process. I highly recommend Elisa Claro for your legal matters.

Elisa is fantastic!

I hired Elisa to go to court for a speeding ticket I received in White Plains. Elisa was able to have the speeding ticket reduced to an "administrative offense" which meant no points in license, no insurance increase and it won't even be on my driving history at all. Elisa was a pro throughout the wh...ole process. She explained to me how the process works and always answered the phone when I called with questions. Highly recommended! Now I'm ready to start speeding again!

Amazing and Professional!!!

Elisa was an amazing lawyer who is extremely professional and takes time out of her busy day to listen to her clients' concerns. This provided a sense of assurance for me that I was in good hands. :)

Speeding ticket in a school zone

This was an amazing experience I was given a summons for a speeding ticket in a school zone which is a six-point penalty to my driving record I didn't know what to do so I search for an attorney there was a Michael Palumbo who spoke to me and gracefully review my case and referred Elisa claro who was... a beautiful female attorney did I reached out to about my case at first we had conversations on the phone she gave me details on how to collect evidence that would help me in court so I did we went to court she was very very very nice so I was confident that I can win because I was innocent my name is Darius and I hired Elisa claro at a fee of $1,000 to my belief I will be found innocent not at first New Rochelle traffic court system is one of the most toughest and policing jurisdiction I ever been to I was scared I told Elisa no matter what I don't want any plea deals we going straight to trial after Elisa spoke to the prosecutor Mr. Murphy he felt like going to trial and rejecting his plea deals was offensive so the officer Aguilar made a complete threat to change my speeding ticket from a 3 point ticket to a 6 Point ticket this became very scary and bad due to having a new ticket I would have to hire Elisa again at a fee of $1,000 so what I'm saying to everyone it got really bad at first by faith I still believe in Elisa claro now that my court date was rescheduled for December 15th I gave it one more shot and with my employer giving me one document to send to my attorney Elisa claro was able to reduce my ticket to a littering fine no points no impact to my driving record and to a true victory.... anyone who hires Elisa claro know that she will fight like a pitbull in your case.
