Unexpected surprise results

I had ticket for 90 over 65, and Matisyahu got it down to a no point/163.00 ticket. What better can you expect?!

Traffic Ticket

I received a ticket for Speeding 6 Point and $900 fine, Matisyahu able to reduced to Parking (no points) and fine also reduced to $400, at Town of Rockland Court. Also I don't need to attend the court.

He helped me again!

Mr. Wolfberg got my Speeding 6 Point ticket in the Bronx TVB dismissed! This is a tremendous victory. He saved me $300.00 in surcharges and fines not to mention the savings to my car insurance bill. Over the years he has helped me, my family, and friends. I don't know how he does it, but he is the b...est!

The outcome of A 4-point speeding ticket

I was pulled over by a police officer on west-bound I-90 in mid-August of 2018. The cop said I was doing way over 80 mph on 65 mph limit (4 points) but decided to write 80 mph on the ticket. I’m not sure why he did this, maybe because he checked my driver’s record and found nothing there, maybe becau...se he was in a good mode, or maybe he felt a bit too tough on me because I told him that I was looking at some cows doing some interesting things on the road side while driving when he pulled me over. It was near Mendon Town, which I had never heard of, and now unfortunately this name is imprinted in my memory. I was returning home in Buffalo NY from a trip to Ithaca NY. It was after 8pm and the sky was getting dark. The ticket indicated that the officer made the measurement at 845 feet away from my vehicle using a LTI Marksman laser, and that it would be handled by the Mendon Town Court. I mailed the ticket with not-guilty-plea to the court in a certified mail within 48 h as required, along with a letter explaining that the cop got the wrong vehicle (it was getting dark with poor visibility, the cop was far away from the target vehicle, and some other reasons). A few days later, I received a mail from the Court for a pre-trial conference with the assistant district attorney in the evening (6pm) on a September day. I googled the map and found it was 70 min drive from my home (one way). So, I called the court clerk the next day and asked if the case could be resolved without me going there. I feared it might be mid-night by the time I could get back home if I would go there, but I was told that I had to go there unless I plead guilty. Neither option was interesting to me. That's when I contacted Mr. Matis Wolfberg by email. I found him by googling traffic lawyer and found many positive comments about the attorney. One comment indicated that he previously successfully handled a speeding ticket in that particular court. He replied the next day and said that he could help to fight the ticket, either to reduce/remove the points or get the ticket dismissed altogether. He indicated that he would do everything and that I did need to go to the court. That was what I wanted to hear. In the end, I don’t think he went to the court either. He asked for a modest fee (a little over 300) and asked me to sign a representation agreement. He always responded to my emails quickly (sometimes in a few min) and explained things clearly. A few days later, he sent me an affidavit via email, asking me to plead guilty to VTL 1210 (a), signing and notarizing it. I emailed it back the same day, and a few days later, he sent another email to me, informing me that the case was revolved, with the speeding ticket changed to leaving unattended vehicle, no point and no record on my driver’s abstract, paying a fine of $183 which includes the surcharge. Of course, it would be better if he could get the ticket dismissed totally, but I'm happy with the result. I paid the fine online via nCourt.com and paid $13.79 convenience fee which was a rip-off. Anyway, the case is now closed, which is why I’m writing this piece. I must say working with Mr. Matis Wolfberg was very pleasant, and he is the right man to seek, if you ever need help to fight a traffic ticket. I told him that I would recommend him to my friends who may need help.

Matisyahu Wolfberg is the one you're looking for!

Mr. Matisyahu Wolfberg represented me to take care my speeding case in Cheektowaga Town Court NY. What he did was exactly as what he said, I don't need to do anything, even not to appear on the court. The only thing I did after I hired him is document notarization. He helped me so much and his fee, t...o me, is fair. He deserves it.
