Excellent service

The law office help me resolve an old but problematic traffic violation, and they were efficient, extremely well organized and knew exactly how to solve my problem. In addition they communicated with me throughout the process and were highly proactive. I am very pleased!

Feels like a miracle!

I was charged with doing over 90 in a 65mph zone, on the New York State Thruway. I was afraid I would lose my license. I was recommended to Glenn Magnell and spoke to his assistant, Kate Benson who was knowledgeable and very nice. I was glad that I didn’t have to even go to court for the trial. I fol...lowed her instructions and hoped for the best. On the day of my trial I called to find out what had happened. I don’t know how he did it, but he got my speeding charge (6 points) reduced to obstructing an intersection (2 points in NY) no points in NJ. Also there was not a bad fine of $243.00. Compare this to the possible rise in my insurance rates if I had been charged with that heavy speeding ticket! It feels like a miracle!

Speeding ticket

Got a speeding ticket upstate on a back road where there was no traffic. This was obviously a speed trap as the speed limit changed from one speed to a much lower speed limit and the police car was sitting in an area just over the top of a hill & set back off the side of the road very sneaky in my op...inion. However once I spoke to this law firm whom stated they have delt with this type of incident frequently. I felt incredible relief as the discussion not only eased my mind but the firm also expressed a great deal of experience and was a competent law firm. You can trust them to help you out and explain things in a manner that's understandable to the average person. The outcome was very favorable !!I Thanks again for your help. Regards, August

Amazing

In-depth knowledge of the law, propitious connections with local court officials... Reduced the points on my license for a single offense from 22 to 10.

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.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
