Great Firm

I retained Glenn's services at the start of July after I received a speeding infraction on I490 on the 26th of June. As a Ontario driver I knew I was looking at a substantial fine and demerit points that would transfer back to Ontario. Glenn assured me that he would be able handle my case and obtai...n a settlement that would ensure no points would be transferred back to Ontario. In two months my case was settled, no points in Ontario and fine less than what I had anticipated. Would I use Glenn's firm again? Absolutely! Great service, speedy and I would not hesitate to recommend Glenn's firm to any Ontario driver who receives a traffic infraction in NY state. Special thanks to Megan Hayton, Glenn's awesome Paralegal who was my main point of contact for keeping me up to date on my case throughout all of this.

The Law Office of Glenn Magnell = Excellent in every way

The Law Office of Glenn Magnell was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I was pulled over for speeding excessively on a small road in Dover, NY. After doing a quick internet search, I called another (closer to Dover) firm and left a message. Never got a call back. After 2 days, I called Magnell. ...My call was received by an actual person who was extremely polite and we exchanged information and got the ball rolling right away!! Over the phone and through emails, they were extremely organized, polite, prompt, and gave me updates as to my case's progress. This is very important to me because it let me know my case was important to them and that they were working hard on it, even if it was just a speeding ticket. I've had past experiences with other firms in which I felt my case fell by the wayside and they could not care less. In the end, Magnell was extremely effective in getting my ticket reduced. It went from a 6 pointer to no points, which saved a lot of money in fines and unspeakable money in insurance rate increases. I could not be happier with they way they handled my case and how everything turned out!! I almost want another ticket so I can let them handle it again lol!!

Speeding & Traffic Tickets in Tuxedo, NY (from NYS Thruway State Police)

I hired Mr. Magnell originally for a speeding ticket and another infraction. While the court managed to mess it pretty bad (lost the tickets, info, depositions), Mr. Magnell's office was able to bring it to an excellent disposition in my favor. No complaints, other than most of my communication was v...ia his associate, Ms. Benson. She was responsive and kept me informed, e-mail glitches aside (on both our parts). I actually found Mr. Magnell doing a web search in the court's area, and of all those attorney's I contacted, Mr. Magnell was the most professional and timely when replying to me. I had no clue about him, and decided to take a chance on someone unknown to me and those around me. It turned out to be a very sound choice. I'll be inquiring as to whether or not Mr. Magnell handles business law, as my company's last attorney (who became a close friend) has since passed away. Good... no, EXCELLENT and TRUSTWORTHY attorneys are hard to find. This is one attorney I hope to continue doing business with!

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.

Outstanding Experience

I was facing a 6 point speeding violation, two 3 point passing violations, and an equipment violation, which would've totaled 12 points (resulting in my license being suspended and a 4-figure fine.) Mr. Magnell took my case on short notice, and his firm was extremely responsive and communicated with ...me every step of the process. Thanks to Mr. Magnell, the D.A. reduced my bundle of violations to a 2 point non-speeding violation and a parking ticket. That's a reduction from 12 points to 2 points. I would never hesitate to hire Mr. Magnell as an attorney again, and I would recommend him to anyone living in the Catskills or Hudson Valley.
