Posted by Moe | May 06, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Nothing can compare to a wealth of experience.

I gave him a call at 8:45am (45 minutes before my case). I was not expecting much as I had procrastinated beyond the right to have any reasonable expectations. However, after a quickly returned call and some brief but fair negotiations I found myself sitting beside Mr Wolfberg just a short time later... in the online queue waiting to be called. Mr Wolfberg took this time to prep me and clue me in on this Judges triggers. What grinds his gears and what and how he likes a defendant to carry themselves. It was quite apparent that any Judge in Rockland could've been on the other end of the line and Mr Wolfberg would have had the goods to share on how to direct myself before them. Mr Wolfberg far exceeded anything I would have expected even had I allowed ample time to prepare. I didn't, which makes the deal I cut with the town all the more surprising. He clearly has a wealth of knowledge to lean on but more importantly, he comes to the table with hard earned experience. It's his vast experience that makes him a truly formidable presence in any courtroom. A wink and nod between my attorney and the judge saw me off with a minimal violation. The best part is this, given the severity of the matter at hand, Mr Wolfberg quoted me a reasonable fee to retain his services. However, after he was able to bring his experience to bear to help my case end right then and there, he also went ahead a waived the balance that I owed him. So he took on (and shut down in spectacular fashion) my case for the total put down as just a deposit... and then he wished me well. I hope not to need his services again but I know who Ill be using from now on if I do.

The Best Speeding & Traffic Ticket Lawyer in NYS

Mr. Wolfberg represented me on fighting a speeding ticket issued to me at West Seneca, New York during my trip from Baltimore to Toronto during early Feb 2021. (speeding at 85 miles in a 65 Miles area) I was going to be in Canada for the next 10 weeks and there was no one at my residence in US to col...lect any correspondence from the court. And even if I was back in US, it wasn’t feasible for me to travel to the West Seneca court to resolve this issue. From a quick online research I understood that It was a tough situation with a possible high fine and almost 6 points and I felt it would be prudent to seek the help of a professional. So relying on the significantly high number of positive reviews online, I decided to hire Mr Wolfberg for my case. From the first meeting itself (via email) I realized that the reviews were 100% accurate as Mr Wolfberg was very professional and patient. He didn't try to give me any false hope but reassured me that his attempt would be to get me the best result possible. I felt the fees charged was reasonable considering the amount of work involved for the case. All documents to initiate the contract was shared online to be signed electronically. The entire process was very organised. Since then there were timely email updates/communication over the course of next two months (all via email) and I was quite happy to understand that I was dealing with a thorough professional. Based on Mr Wolfberg’s request I also arranged for my driving history from Maryland MVD. Finally at the end of two months, around mid Apr 2021 I was pleased to know that Mr Wolfberg was able to get the verdict down to a minimal fine and 'zero' points. Additionally, I had to take a Defensive Driver Online course offered by a NYS vendor. The communication throughout the process was on point & transparent without any ambiguity. Everything was done through emails, which was a major plus for me as I didn't have to go to the court in person. I would highly recommend Mr Wolfberg to anyone seeking help for this matter throughout the state of NY (even if you live outside NYS like in my case). Thanks.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TRAFFIC ATTORNEY!

I got a speeding ticket in January 2021 when I was heading up to Lake Placid with my family. I was looking at 4 points. The ticket was returnable in the Chester Town Court. I did an online search for a traffic attorney in that area and found Matisyahu. Matisyahu was fantastic!. He responded quickly t...o my email and told me that while he couldn't guarantee a specific result he had successfully gotten tickets like mine reduced or even dismissed. Matisyahu's quoted me a fee that was very reasonable and decided to hire him which was the best decision I made. Matisyahu was able to get my speeding ticket reduced to parking violation so that I didn't have to incur any points. I highly recommend Matisyahu for your traffic court needs!
