Gets results.
I have always had good results with Zev Goldstein when my kids get tickets. It isn't cheap but it is a lot better than points on their license and my insurance. My daughter rammed another car in the rear and the police officer issued a ticket. Zev Goldstein argued my case and there were no points.
