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.

Speeding ticket

I’m clearly astonished to see that someone had the audacity to give one point. As James meadows and his team is one of the top of the line firms in all of NYC for traffic tickets. However, I highly recommend for even if it were to be a simple question feel free to call his office and ask. I couldn’t ...thank this lawyer more!!! Thank you Mr. Medows!

Best traffic lawyer

I received a ticket for crossing over HOV divider. and the cop gave me many tickets totaling 14 points. I was very nervous and especially being the first ticket I received. However, James right from the start put me at ease and assured me that everything would work out. James and his team was able to... plea my ticket down to no points and a small fine. I would highly recommend James, the best traffic lawyer. There were extremely responsive throughout the process and resolved all my concerns.

Case Dismissed

I contacted James Meadows after searching online for a lawyer that specializes in traffic infractions. Having received two tickets in Brooklyn, which would have amounted to 5 points and fines. After speaking with James his office reached out and assured me, they would handle everything. I didn't have... to appear in court and James got both tickets dismissed several months before the scheduled appearance date. I highly recommend his office. Thank you, James.
