Disappointed and confused

My experience with James Meadows was disappointing! I used his services before I which he got a case for me DISMISSED also I was excited to go to him again and retain him for his services on a ticket in Brooklyn worth 2 points. I contacted him after the hearing and he told me HE NEVER APPEARED becaus...e the Judge assigned to the trial was a judge that “would of convicted me regardless” ! I was confused and hurt then he urged me to just plead guilty and pay the fine !! And he would refund me my money back ..I was disappointed because I expected him to still try to fight my ticket and try to win but to NOT SHOW and try to urge to me pay the fine and get the points because he was basically intimidated by the Judge was ridiculous!! I guess you never know with him

THIS SHOULD BE A 6 STAR REVIEW! I beat this person’s old case (Dora J.…published publicly on Yelp) and she hired me for her new case (2 point ticket). On the day of her hearing for this new ticket, officer showed up and there was a tough judge…almost certain would be a guilty verdict. Instead of going forward, I withheld the case and explained to the client that I either I will be able to get another date or client should plead guilty and I will refund. Client stated that she would want a refund immediately and she will handle. I immediately issued a full refund notwithstanding working on this case...and here we are now. Not a justified 1 star as I have done absolutely nothing wrong except win her other ticket (much more serious ticket) and looked out for the client’s best interest in the second ticket. Please look at my 900+ Google reviews, my 150+ Yelp and my 200+ AVVO reviews and not just an unjustified review by an ungrateful Dora J.

Best lawyer!

This is the best lawyer you can hire! He was very honest with my odds. I had a ticket of failed to stop for a school bus in NYC, And he got it DISMISSED! Not only did Mr. James Medows and his team dealt with it with highest level of professionalism and total dedication, they also gave me peace of m...ind by promptly responding to me as soon as I texted/emailed. Any moving violation is extremely hard to get dismissed in NYC especially failed to stop for school bus ! I highly recommend him !

AMAZING

James is great. Communication is on point. When I first got my ticket, I reached out to a few lawyers, and none of them came across as professional and straightforward as James. Everything was clear and concise. He also always notified me about when he was appearing, and followed up the day of my cou...rt date. I never had to worry about what was happening or if he forgot about me. My ticket was ultimately dismissed. Will definitely use James again Edit: I used James for a second speeding ticket. And once again, he and his office got it dismissed. He has saved me a total of 14 points so far. I honestly cannot recommend him enough. A small thing I noticed is that when notifying me about my dismissal, he didn't send a whole new email thread. He actually replied to my original thread about the ticket, from well over 2 years ago. That just goes to show how organized they are. It's a small detail, but something that impressed me nonetheless.

Just Ok

Had 3 tickets and read the great reviews that he had so I called him and hired him for the 3 tickets one was a improper turn ticket and 2 were speeding tickets. He pushed them all back and eventually beat the improper turn ticket. But the 2 speeding tickets he lost not even a reduction of points and ...didn't even contact me when he lost I had to call him about the outcome. He was a nice guy who was very upfront about everything but at the end of the day you pay for results and overall he didn't. I would hire him again but not for speeding tickets.

Coward!!! I have no idea who this person is so it’s not fair for me to respond other than say that my office will always do its best. I do not guarantee results but I am certainly not looking to lose (after all, I will have to defense myself on posts against those who don’t have the courage to even post their real name). Most respectfully, I am a kick ass lawyer and even the disgruntled admit that I beat at least one of their tickets. If this person got their ticket in NYC, there is no plea bargaining so it’s all or nothing. Please look at my 200+ AVVO reviews, my 600+ Google reviews, my 200+ Yelp reviews and not just a sore pus who is afraid of revealing his/her name.

So thankful! Very HONEST, SO easy to work with, and 6 point ticket dismissed!!

I got a 6 point speeding ticket in NYC. Was referred to James by numerous people and brought him my case THE DAY BEFORE my court case. He was VERY HONEST with me in terms of his odds of success/potential outcomes, answered all my questions, and was so easy to work with! He was very communicative, qu...ick to respond and answered my questions, and is really the ABSOLUTE BEST. Then the next morning he texted me the amazing news that the ticket was dismissed. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone that needs a traffic lawyer. He is really amazing, sooo easy to work with, and really a pleasure to deal with.
