Top-Notch Firm

Glenn and his team, Megan and Kate, did a superb job in reducing my speeding ticket violation to a parking violation with no points and a fine. As I had never been through this before I selected them after some due diligence. Their team was very forthcoming and easy to work with and did a very eff...ective and efficient job in describing the process, managing my expectations ,and building trust that they had the expertise to deliver the best outcome. They contacted me on a Friday night to let me know the good news - clearly a very dedicated, motivated, and knowledgeable team. I would highly recommend.

Traffic ticket lawyer-LOOK NO FURTHER!

I goggled several lawyers with high ratings to handle a speeding ticket for my husband who has a CDL licence. My husband was looking at 6 pt and a hefty fine. He works for the city and with a CDL you CAN NOT have that many points without severe consequences to his job. and My first contact over the ...phone was with Kate Benson his assistant. She made me feel confident and reassured me that Mrs. Warren Magnell Esq. is knowledgeable, competent and is an outstanding lawyer who is well known and respected in the area. We felt that he cares about his clients and their individual unique needs. His legal fee's also were reasonable with his competitors. While speaking with Kate she was upfront about realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the case. I felt because of her upfront honesty and warm her friendly personality that he was the attorney for us and our needs therefore we hired his firm. Hiring his firm was the best decision I could have made and would recommend him to anyone including my own family members. From the time hired they kept us up to date and informed regarding the case answering any and all questions asked. I was not rushed off the phone nor made to feel as if I was just an inconvenient time consuming call. Mr. Magnell made the court appearance this past week and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. There was a plea deal made and the outcome was MORE that we could have asked for.

What a relief!

I am a NJ resident who was driving through NY State one weekend and received a ticket on the NY State Thruway. I was going to plead guilty and then I looked into it and realized that I would receive points on my NJ license if I plead guilty. I found Glenn Magnell online and called him and he reass...ured me that he was confident that the ticket could be reduced to a no points offense and a couple months later it was! I am very relieved!

I-90 Speeding Ticket

Glenn and his entire staff were most helpful, knowledgable and efficient in dealing with my speeding offence. The outcome was exactly as they had predicted and I would have no hesitation in using the firm again and recommending Glenn to prospective clients.

THE BEST LAWYER I EVER USED........HIGHLY RECOMMEND GLENN MAGNELL

I AM A CANADIAN DRIVER WITH A CDL LICENCE. I RETAINED GLENN MAGNELL JULY 22, 2013. I RECEIVED TWO TICKETS IN NEW YORK STATE FOR BACKING UNSAFELY AND AGGRAVATED UNLICENSED OPERATION 3RD MISDEMEANOR. THE AGG UNL OP 3RD MISD WAS DISMISSED AND BACKING UNSAFELY WAS REDUCED TO A VIOLATION OF OPEN DOOR UNSA...FELY. I GOT ZERO POINTS ON MY NEW YORK DRIVING RECORD AND THIS VIOLATION IS NOT REPORTED BACK TO ONTARIO. THEREFORE DEMERIT POINTS WILL NOT BE ASSESSED TO MY ONTARIO DRIVING RECORD. THEY TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO GO TO COURT AND MY CASE WAS SETTLED BEFORE MY COURT DATE. GLENN MAGNELL WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY NEGOTIATE A PLEA BARGIN THAT SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO MY DRIVING PRIVILEGES AND INSURANCE COSTS THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED OTHERWISE. I GOT A SMALL FINE FOR OPEN DOOR UNSAFELY ONLY. IM VERY PLEASED WITH THE EXCELLENT RESULTS. I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER OUTCOME THEN THIS. GLENN MAGNELL’S PARALEGALS WERE KNOWLEDGEABLE, POLITE, EFFICIENT AND A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH. I WAS IN CONTACT AND SPOKE WITH GLENN. I DEALT WITH MEGAN HAYTON MOSTLY. MEGAN WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE , POLITE AND VERY HELPFUL. I WAS NERVOUS AND SHE PUT ME AT EASE. I WAS ALWAYS UPDATED ON MY CASES PROGRESS BY PHONE AND EMAILS BUT, MOSTLY BY PHONE. THE PAPERWORK WAS ALL DONE THROUGH EMAIL AND FAX. THEY DID MORE THEN I EXPECTED. IN THE PAST 29 YRS. OF DRIVING IN THE UNITED STATES, I USED OTHER LAWYERS FOR TICKETS AND I NEVER GOT THIS SERVICE OR RESULTS FROM THESE OTHER LAWYERS. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, I WILL DEFINITELY USE MR. MAGNELL FIRM AGAIN IF I NEED TO. SO HAPPY.
