Michael A. Kramer

My son received a speeding ticket that would have placed six points and a very large fine with surcharges on his drivers license. I contacted Mike and he explained two outcomes which would be good and better. We ended up with the better and the citation knocked down to a parking ticket and a much sma...ller fine. Good communication throughout from a knowledgeable attorney. Thank you Mike!

A few months ago, I got caught in a speed trap coming off of exit 8 of IT-287. I was extremely distraught since I also received a cell phone ticket in NYC from a year ago. Thus, I was facing a possible license suspension on top of the additional driver responsibility penalty. I did some searching ...on the internet and called several traffic lawyers. I always spoke with some assistant that didn't know anything. Not to mention that their rates were around 50 percent higher than what Michael was asking for. When I called Michael's office, he personally answered the phone and the calm in his voice immediately put me at ease. I went in for a consultation on the same day and he walked me through every step of the process as well as the nuances of the particular court we were dealing with. He asked a ton of questions to familiarize himself with my situation and gave me the best and worst case scenarios as is mentioned in other reviews. I received a call soon after my pre-trial conference appointment in which Michael nonchalantly explained to me that he was able to get the best case scenario! My 6-point speeding ticket was downgraded to a zero-point $150 parking ticket! I say nonchalantly because the calmness in his voice didn't waiver and he remained humble; not expecting any praise. This was simply his job and he does it extremely well.

Michael was very thorough and informative right off the bat. He informed me of the best and worst likely scenarios we were facing under the given township. He went right to work and in a matter of a couple weeks, he had our violation substantially downgraded to avoid any NYS surcharges and an additi...onal 4 violation points! Great to work with - it was a pleasure. Would absolutely work with again!

He is very knowledgeable and trustworthy and he keeps me informed. I'm glad I hired him to look into my traffic ticket. Though the process is still on but from his responsiveness, and wealth of experience from his years of practice I am confident of a positive outcome. Lastly his fees and payment a...rrangement are just perfect for me. I am a relatively new immigrant wary of running foul of the laws of the road around here but it appears one can never be careful enough, he listened to me patiently through my accent, offered me a comparatively pocket-friendly fee and a payment plan which is way much better than any other offers I got. One more thing, and I think the most important for me, while others I called reinforced my stereotype of cop-lawyer-court symbiotic relationship that parasitically turn into their carrion those who run into some trouble, there was a tinge of EMPATHY in his voice and approach, others sounded exactly like the stereotype I have of lawyers, SHARKS. Overall, I'm much happy I hired him and I would strongly recommend him.

I have had the occasion to use Michael Kramer several times. Although he specializes in criminal law , he has unselfishly guided me to the appropriate attorney for other life lawyer needs. Mr Kramer was kind , considerate , and realistic in defending my rights and my families rights. I also felt... his compensation was fairly demonstrated . I would highly recommend Michael Kramer and if I need another lawyer , he will get my call.
