Whole office very professional

I was impressed with my very first talk with Mr. Magnell via e-mail. He presented facts and right away gave me the impression he cared about my situation. His office staff did likewise on subsequent telephone calls. I was told how and when action would be taken and I appreciated understanding how ...my case was proceeding and felt assured my case was given the best chance for good outcome. I feel I was very lucky to have his office as my legal representative.

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.

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.

Professional, effective representation.

Glenn has helped me with with quite a few "fundraiser" tickets along the small villages up the 87 and each time was successful in getting tickets reduced to a non-moving violations or something that's quite low on the points scale. Glenn has also helped me with VTL 509 and 511 (AUO 3 and 2) cases whe...re driving privilege was suspended without my knowledge and was successful both times. I highly recommend Glenn and his staff. Glenn, Sally and Kate have all been very understanding, courteous and professional when handling my cases.

Representation for criminal misdemeanors after being arrested.

Mr. Glenn Magnell represented me after I had been arrested for two criminal misdemeanors; possession of a dangerous instrument and place another person in reasonable fear of physical injury. After being arrested I was very nervous, anxious and upset. Mr. Magnell explained my entire legal situati...on. To make a long story short, Mr. Magnell was able to get those two criminal misdemeanors dropped during the court proceedings. I had plead guilty to harassment in the 2nd degree, a non criminal offense. I was very much relieved not to have a criminal offense on my record. If in the future I should ever have a need for a very caring person, a wonderful and experienced lawyer for legal representation, I would without doubt contact Mr. Magnell immediately. Any and all questions I had were answered timely and in a professional manner by Mr. Magnell's staff. Both my wife and I are very pleased.
