2 tickets within a few months this fall--both reduced!

Unfortunately I received 2 speeding tickets this fall, one on the Taconic Parkway driving back late from a trip to Canada, and the other up near Cooperstown. I found the Magnell law firm online as they specialized in tickets from Fishkill, They were incredibly professional, kept me posted along the... way and amazingly had both tickets reduced to non-moving violations. They warned me that this might not be easy, esp in Fishkill, but they were able to reduce both. All of the discussions were via email (maybe one call) and so it was very convenient also. Cannot recommend them enough--while I had to pay the fines (appropriate), they saved me points which would have cost me hundreds or even thousands.

Incredible attorney!!!

I was doing 82 mph in a 60 mph zone, as well as my girlfriend who was following me in her car when we were pulled over and given these tickets by state troopers in Liberty, NY. I contacted Mr Magnell's office, and even though I never spoke to him, I spoke with Kate Benson who evaluated my situation ...and gave me possible outcomes that could happen with our cases. She was very honest and realistic and didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear. On top of that, I consulted with several other attorneys and she provided me with the best retainer fee! The staff at his office are wonderful and were a pleasure to deal with. In addition to Kate, Megan Hayton and Francine Frey did a superb job of keeping me abreast of the status of our cases, there communication with me was excellent. Mr Magnell's was able to reduce our tickets to a parking ticket with zero points and a $150 fine!!! Thumbs up all the way. Hopefully it never happens again, but should I ever need this type of help I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

Great firm with positive results.

I received a 4 point speeding ticket in Bethel, NY. The firm was able to get it reduced to a zero point non-moving violation. Great communication and follow up from the staff. Would highly recommend this firm's services.

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.

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.
