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.

So first off, I was recommended by my best friend to use James Meadows. My friend and I live on Long Island, and He told me that he had gotten a speeding ticket in Queens (Same as me) and that I should use James as an attorney to represent me. I said to my friend “oh nice, he must’ve made the tic...ket go away!?” My friend said “no, actually I had to pay the ticket and other court fees and had points on my license, they lowered the points but still.” I’m like….”what the hell?? Why would I use him if he couldn’t help you out??!” My friend said that when your in the NYC courts system, they don’t plea bargain, whatever they say goes. You and your attorney are at their mercy. But, he said, there are two things James promised him.One, I would never have to show up in court. Two, he was going to do everything he possibly could to get the tickets dismissed. So when I called James Meadows I let him know my friend recommended me, and that it’s important I get the ticket removed because I was waiting on a job with the utility company to come through and I needed a clean license to start my career. So he promised me over the phone, “you will never have to come to court, and I will do everything in my power to get these speeding tickets dismissed. So every time I had a court date James would message me after, to give me a heads up. A year later I started my career, and the next few years my case was still happening. One day I get a call from James and he says “hey, it’s all good it got dismissed! So no worries your record is clean!” I’m like, “ what happened? The cop didn’t show?? He said yup! I was beyond happy. And you know what? Almost 4 yrs had passed! Yes!4! 4 years this lawyer went to court multiple times waiting for the moment where he could get it dismissed, and he did! And ya know what? It doesn’t work every time, and that’s ok because it’s the NYC court system. It’s rough. Most lawyers fight for you less then a year and have you pleading guilty and paying your fines. Not James, he played the game and postponed and moved dates and did whatever he had to do. The effort alone is worth way more then $500! That’s nothing for that kind of dedication. I highly recommend James Meadows. You will not be disappointed in your decision, just know he does this everyday for a living and knows how this game is played. The court is a money machine and that’s it. Some people wanna be in and out quick. No! Take your time with it. Because If by chance it doesn’t work out at least you had several years where your insurance didn’t go up, cuz James was fighting for you during that time and without realizing it you were saving hundreds of dollars! Make the right choice! Thank you James!

When I first approached James about defending me for a traffic ticket I had received (20 Over the speed limit) he seemed confident that he could assist with completely removing the ticket or at least reducing it. $500 & 3 years later (All he did was postpone the court date for as long as he could) I... was found guilty of going 15 mph over the speed limit instead of 20 (which according to him may help reduce the increase insurance cost.) 11-20 MPH over the speed limit in NY incurs the same 4 point penalty on your license. I had to pay the ticket of about $200 and am now paying a higher insurance premium. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON HIM. If you want to fight a ticket go to someone who could probably help and not just collect and postpone the date for you. I could have done that myself and been found guilty all the same.

I had gotten a ticket in Staten Island and called him and he told me based on circumstances he could take my money, but it would not affect the outcome. Based on his honesty I approached him again when I got a speeding ticket that would have resulted in 8 points and loss of my license. He was able to... postpone so that I would not lose my license and ultimately was able to get the ticket dismissed. I will DEFINITELY reach out to him again for future issues and have referred a number of friends to him as well whom he was also able to help! So very grateful. Reasonable prices and great results!
