The best decision you will make

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!

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.

Good lawyer - can't go wrong

Very professional: competitive fees, prompt responses, clear communication, sets realistic expectations and delivers on them. Had my ticket dismissed.

31+ mph dismissed. 8 points saved!

I received this ticket while I was 20, and being my first ticket ever I wasn’t sure how to react to this. I found Mr.Meadows online and gave him a call, he immediately picked up and went on to explain the intricacies of traffic law in NYC and assured me he’ll take care of this to the best of his abil...ity while being honest in the given context and explaining both potential outcomes. Mr.Meadows was blunt, honest and responsive whenever you called him.

Magician

If you are looking for best traffic lawyer in NYC, LOOK NO FURTHER. You have found it. I was issued two violations for the same occurrence in Brooklyn, I would get 5 points if found guilty. Although I thought I was innocent I did not dare to go to court myself because 1. it's almost impossible to... win in NYC traffic courts, 2. when it's your word against cop's word who do you think judge gonna side with. I heard countless stories about the traffic lawyers from my friends and almost all of them lost. Those few who won were lucky because cop didn't show up for court hearing and judge dismissed the case. I found referral for James Medows online and that's one of the reasons I'm writing this as someone may read and get help. That person said that he tried countless lawyers in NYC and could recommend Mr. Medows only. I sent him message through his site, immediately he called me back. He's fast talker, straight to the point, zero BS, values your and his time. He said he'll try to beat the tickets but there's no guarantee. He said how much it's gonna cost and I paid online. Although he was more pricey than regular traffic lawyers he is WORTH every cent, and MUCH, MUCH more. And I paid one fee only because both tickets were issued by the same cop. Mr. Medows postponed the case once, called me few days before the court hearing to discuss the strategy and on next date he beat both tickets. He DID it!!! I would have spent thousands in fines and increased insurance premiums and talk about the headache dealing with consequences. And I didn't have to appear in the court which saved me money too. When you go out to dine you wanna food cooked by someone who knows what he is doing, same thing about any other service. Now let me tell you one thing – this is the lawyer that knows what he is doing. Simply the best.
