LIfe Saver Hire Mr. Medows No Regrets!!!

James Medows is a God send. I was caught going 55 in a 25 MPH zone on Springfield Blvd. I had just started a new job and wasn't trying to be late on one of my first days. I got caught by an unmarked police vehicle with a speed radar. This happened june of 2015. The ticket was $300 and i was going to... receive 6 points on my license. I was terrified that my insurance was going to raise and my parents were going to kill me (im 22 by the way), so I did some researching online. I found great reviews on many lawyers but i was drawn to Mr.Medows. I contacted him and he was very professional and told me what was going to happen. He told me his price (which was very very reasonable), i agreed to it and signed a contract with him. The plan was to postpone the court hearing in hopes that the officer wouldn't show. Mr. Medows was able to postpone the case 3 times and the officer showed every time. I dont know what Mr. Medows said during that hearing but i was found not guilty and didnt have to pay the $300 and didnt receive a single point on my license. During this six month process Mr. Medows kept me updated on the case and showed up to every case on my behalf. He sent text as well as called. He always responded when i sent him texts even during the holidays. I am glad that i hired him and anyone looking for a lawyer dont even waste your time with anyone else.

Professional. Doesn't Waste your Time and gets Results

I was charged with Reckless Driving violation in New York city. After some research online, I found Mr. Medows and I immediately retained him to handle my case. His discussions with me were short, to the point and accurate. Mr Medows is a real sharp shooter, knows his stuff well, and doesn't was...te your time at all. Mr. Medows got my ticket dismissed with minimal fine. Highly recommended. If you are in NYC and get into any traffic-related trouble, see nowhere and hire Mr. Medows Immediately.

Professional and effective

I was recently involved in a bogus reckless driving situation. After speaking to several other lawyers in the New York area, I was unable to find one that left me feeling confident. This is until I contacted James. Firstly, he doesn't have assistants handing his calls, so when you need to reach him y...our getting him directly, which is highly valued. There was not one time where he did not respond to one of my calls/emails. Second, he was able to pick up my case the day before the appearance was set (I was out of town). And most importantly, he got the case dismissed. No misdemeanor, no points, no fine. I payed a little more than I wanted to, but he effectively and efficiently solved my situation in a swift manner. I can confidently recommend James and would not think twice if needed in the future. Thanks again James!

James ROCKS!!!!!

A criteria in my search that led me to James was that he answered his own phone and was always accessible. I didn't want to deal with a secretary of a larger firm, feeling like I was just another small client. The best way to describe it, I was treated like family. James showed professionalism throug...hout the entire process. He shows a sharp wit and is very knowledgeable. I was facing a reckless driving charge with a potential criminal record and points on my license. This was totally unacceptable. James got the matter resolved with NO criminal record and NO points, just a small fine which I was happy to pay. Do yourself a favor and call James.

Good lawyer, resolved my case

I had problems with ex-girlfriend, who was abusive and violent sometimes. I lost my my control, ended up in legal trouble for the firs time in my life. After a few court appearances, I accepted a deal with conditional discharge after attending PAC program classes. So I ended up with a violation ch...arge with no criminal record. During the whole process, Attorney Medows was very supportive, organized and knew what he needed to do to get the case resolved. I am happy with his representation of my case. I would recommend to use his service if you have legal problems.
