Exceeded my expectations

Elisa was able to obtain a reduction from a 3 point offense to a zero point ticket with no DMV record. She was very responsive, professional, knowledgeable and most efficient. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone struggling with a traffic ticket. Thank you so much, Elisa!

Outstanding and Very Professional

I contacted Ms. Elisa Claro regarding 2 traffic violations that I received (and neglected) more than 10 years ago. I met Ms. Claro in her White Plains office and she immediately explained in person and in follow up emails upcoming procedures and defense options of my case. I was very nervous rega...rding these long neglected tickets but her professionalism and kind demeanor immediately put me at ease. When the day came regarding my case, I contacted Ms. Claro several hours after my scheduled court appearance to find out the results. She emailed me back promptly with the results. One serious traffic violation completely dismissed with no fine or points on my license and the other I plead guilty to and paid a minimal fine with ZERO license points. I will absolutely retain Ms. Claro again if needed and you should as well.

If you're reading this in search of a good lawyer, you've come to the right place!!

Elisa Claro did an amazing job in helping me resolve a traffic violation. When I started my search for an attorney, I googled and found three firms in the area to whom I emailed inquiring about how they could help. Elisa called almost immediately after I sent the email (one other attorney called tw...o days later, and one emailed three days later!), and she spent time thoroughly explaining the process and the range of outcomes that I could expect. I engaged here immediately, and she handled the rest. She is a true professional and really gave me peace of mind that she would handle this as if it was her own issue. The results were terrific! She was able to plea my case to a no points solution...which was one of the possible outcomes that I really didn't think would happen. I hope I don't have further needs for traffic court violations, but if I do, I would definitely call Elisa asap. And that's why i'm taking the time to write this review....she deserves it! Thorough, thoughtful, efficient, effective and professional...that's Attorney Elisa Claro!

Amazing Outcome and Service!!

Hiring Elisa Claro was the BEST choice I could've made, when my son received his 1st speeding ticket.. It was 21 miles over the speed limit, and was going to be six points on his license and an increase in insurance. I decided I would try an attorney. I never needed an one before and didn't know wh...at to expect, but decided it was worth trying to fight the ticket. Elisa told me to give her the ticket and leave the rest to her. She knew exactly what to do, and how do achieve the outcome we wanted. She told me there was no need to show up at court and kept me abreast of every postponement and never once did I need to worry. Finally, she contacted me with the good news that the ticket was dismissed with no points, fines or fees. Absolutely amazing and professional job. I would not hesitate for 1 second to call if I needed her services again.

Speeding Ticket

I received my first speeding ticket in the town of Mamaroneck and my husband found Atty. Elisa Claro online. I was skeptical at first to call her but when I searched more about her online, I found out that she graduated with honors from law school so I thought she must be good. I am glad I called her.... She is very professional, knowledgeable, and prompt in responding to inquiries. She was able to resolve my 4 point speeding ticket to 0 point parking violation within half of the time she predicted. I am a very satisfied client and I will not think twice using her services again if the need arises.
