7 tickets

Exceptional service!! I got 7 tickets while operating semi truck (log book violation, overweight and what not). Mr Magnell managed to successfully negotiate a “plea bargain” that significantly reduced the potential damage to my driving privileges: The original Misdemeanor violations, TL§211, Excess... Hours; TL§212, Incomplete Log Book, the additional Transportation Law safety violation and the 4 Vehicle &Traffic Law violations were all covered by a plea of guilty to one count of TL§140.2cii, Miscellaneous Safety Violation (in-service) and one count of VTL§1201a, Parking on Pavement. This is a zero-point TL violation and a non-moving violation incurring zero points on your license I believe the impossible was done!! Thank you very much Mr Magnell!!!

Professionally dedicated to helping his clients

I was facing 8 points for 2 speeding tickets within 4 weeks of each other due to a faulty speedometer. The local prosecutor did not want to hear it. So, I knew I had to get an attorney to fight it. I contacted Glenn's office from a recomme.ration by another local attorney. His office staff was super ...helpful, professional and efficient. They listened to my story, asked questions and immediately spoke with Glenn to see if he could help. They got back to me within an hour and offered me 2 possibilities. One would include points (non-speeding) and the other was zero points with a large fine. The fee to represent my 2 cases was very reasonable and affordable. I thought for sure I would get points no matter what, but surprisingly enough, Glenn was able to negotiate and get me the best case scenario, which was no points. It was an absolute relief and pleasure working with Glenn and his law firm. Thank you!

Well Worth the Money

My son had 2nd speeding ticket in a year (dumb on his part). 2nd ticket could have totalled 6pts and suspension for him easily. Not only did we get a free consultation, but since my son was away at college and Mr. Magnell appeared in court on his behalf and had speeding ticket reduced to a minor pa...rking infraction, saving his licence and his future continuing to drive. One of my son's friends happened to be in court the same night Mr. Magnell was in court addressing my son's ticket and contacted him asking him where did he get his lawyer because he knew his stuff and was darn good. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Magnell.

Excellent Performance

Glenn and Kate did an excellent job in handling my speeding ticket. I was on my second, and it was crucial that I get it reduced to a non-moving violation to prevent my insurance from increasing. They did better than I could have imagined and got the reduction down to a parking violation with no po...ints and a fine. Not having to drive the extra hour or so and take a day off of work to deal with it was also a bonus. This was my first time engaging an attorney to handle a speeding ticket. I am extremely impressed with how the firm processed the case.

Outstanding service

Glenn helped me respond to a speed trap ticket in NY state. Because I live in VT, I expected a hassle dealing with the court. But Glenn walked me through the process, did what he said he would do, I never had to call or visit the court, and the outcome was positive. His paralegal team provides great ...support as well.
