Great work

I was happy with the result - a potential 6-pt ticket (plus fine) was reduced to a $275 fine

Very satisfied client.

Posted by

A speeding ticket 22 mhp above the limit and a second ticket for signal failure, I was facing a hefty penalty and 8 points on my record. Mr. Wolfsberg was able to negotiate with Broom County's (Upstate New York) DA to dismiss the case with only paying penalty and attending a defensive driving course. I didn't have to do anything. And his legal fee was very reasonable. I would recommend Mr. Matisyahu Wolfberg to anyone who needs a traffic lawyer.

Town of Rockland Court - Speeding Ticket

Posted by

I found Mr. Wolfberg through other people's review online and I'm happy to tell you that he is a very good attorney. Mr. Wolfberg was very professional and organized with my case. From the retainer agreement to the resolution of my speeding ticket in the Town of Rockland, he was always on top of my case and answered any questions I had. Even in the midst of the pandemic, he stayed on top of my case and answered my questions. His system is very organized and efficient. He was able to get rid of the points (4). I had to pay a $175 fine, but that's nothing compared to what the points would have done to my record and insurance.

Matis took care of my speeding ticket and got it off for just a fine. He had the entire process under control and I didn’t need to do anything.

Best Speeding Ticket Lawyer Ever!

Posted by

I contacted Mr Wolfberg on a recommendation from a friend who has used him several times. My teenage daughter with a new license, got 2 speeders within a few months of each other in Nassau County. He was able to get them both down to jaywalking violations with ZERO points! His pricing is very reasonable and his attention and service is unmatched. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Matisyahu did a fantastic job for me and reduced my points for a speeding ticket in the town of Chazy considerably and beyond my expectations. His fee was reasonable and he was very personable in our dealings over the phone. I strongly recommend him to anyone who has an issue with speeding in this area of upstate NY.

A GREAT GUY ON YOUR SIDE

Posted by

I have a long history of the police stopping me and issuing me a summons for speeding or tinted windows, changing lanes, etc. I always went to court myself and lost. Very frustrating and in the end very expensive, the State charges all kinds of extra fees and surcharges. Once the car insurance people find out your rates skyrocket. It was a lose, lose altogether. A friend of mine, George once got 5 tickets, including speeding on the LIE near the Grand Central interchange. Everyone knows how crowded it is over there speeding is impossible. George hired Mr. Wolfberg, and got all 5 tickets dismissed. When George told me that, I quickly asked for his number. Well I have been using Mr. Wolfberg's services for the last few tickets. With the exception of 1 he got all the tickets dismissed. An amazing man. He does what he says. His rates are far less than others I used. I once used another guy I found in the court, he charged me over $350 and he lost, so his fee on top of the thousand from the state. My last ticket on Atlantic Avenue for going 36 MPH (What a joke) Mr. Wolfberg, got it dismissed. I very highly recommend him.
