I-84 speeding ticket

I hired Glenn Magnell within 4 days of the court date. I was very pleased with the response and professionalism of his staff. Since I am out of state, they were able to take over and represent me during court. This was a significant savings for me. I am so pleased that the issue was resolved that... day to a non-moving violation with no points on my driver's license. I couldn't have expected a better outcome. I highly recommend him and his staff for any traffic violations in NYS.

Outstanding Firm

Glenn Magnell is an outstanding lawyer. I highly recommend him. His staff is extremely professional and has excellent communication skills. The outcome he negotiated was much better than I expected. He answered my questions thoroughly and promptly. I would use him again.

Mr. Magnell is an excellent attorney

Mr. Magnell was able to have a three point $275 summons for failure to pass a stopped NYS Trooper safely reduced to a parking ticket with a $175. fine and no point in a rural tough town court. Works for me! I would recommend him highly.

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.

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.
