Two tickets dismissed

Thank you James Medows for winning two tickets that would make me get 4 points in my license Since I am a driver that would have been really difficult to keep my job. Thank you for answering all my questions whenever I need. You are great

Extremely Disappointed with Legal Representation

I wish there were an option to give 0 stars, as even 1 star is far too generous. I had an extremely negative experience with James Medows and “his Law Firm”. They delayed progress on my case for two years, during which time I often had to handle tasks that should have been their responsibility. Th...ey failed to respond to the court's requests, ignored opportunities to negotiate a deal, and did not appear in court on my behalf. Additionally, getting in contact with James Medows and “His firm” was nearly impossible, making the situation even more frustrating. James Medows is incompetent. This lack of reliability and communication forced me to request a refund. I STRONGLY ADVISE against using this firm for any legal matters. I ultimately decided to fire James Medows and handle the case myself, which led to everything being dismissed. The situation almost resulted in my license being suspended. If I hadn't received notices from the court and acted quickly to resolve the matter, I would have been driving with a suspended license. I have evidence to substantiate my claims. "It’s all or nothing”… and unfortunately, in this case, it was nothing but a disgrace." You may boast about your '1000+ reviews,' but if potential clients saw how you handled my case, I assure you, no one would consider hiring you as their lawyer.

This troll wrote a one star on Yelp, Google, Findlaw and Justia as well. Please look at my thousand plus positive reviews and don’t be dissuaded by an angry client. Just to defend myself, this person was partially correct as my office contacted this court multiple times, however, the court never received our notices. I can’t control civil servants/government entities from doing their job, but my office was on top of this from beginning to end. I gladly refunded this client and here I am defending myself because this nonsense.

TVB traffic ticket dismissed

I had a six-point TVB speeding ticket that James represented me for. The ticket was dismissed. Throughout the representation, James and his office kept me fully informed about the process, and both James and his staff were reachable if I had any queries. The outcome saved me a lot of money and stress..., and I am very grateful to James. He is a highly skilled and professional attorney and I would highly recommend him for any traffic-related matters and also legal consultation in general.

Excellent Traffic Attorney!!!

Mr. Medows communicated with me and explained everything to me. My 5 point ticket was dismissed, I’m happy. Don’t hesitate to use him !!!!

No Regrets

I got a speeding ticket that was marked in the 20-30 miles over the limit range, which would have been an expensive ticket, plus points on my license, and then the NY license reinstating fees that would follow. Without having to expend any of my own time and energy trying to fight this, James Medows... took care of everything, from the moment I signed his retainer. Through his expertise on how to work the traffic court system and the language needed to break apart a ticket case, I was found not guilty. This was my first experience hiring a lawyer to handle a speeding ticket case and I do not regret it. I shopped around before going with Medows and his fee is very competitive and fair compared to others and his straight forward communication style and knowledge and experience in handling these cases is among the best in town. Though, his retainer fee is on par with the cost of such a ticket (and yet still better than a lot of other law firms), keeping it and the points off my record, as well as the additional costs those would incur to the DMV and my insurance were well worth every penny. Not to mention the satisfaction that comes from sticking it to "the man" for once.
