Peace of mind, regardless of outcome.

I received an improper turn ticket two and a half years ago and James was extremely upfront and efficient walking me through my chances of beating this ticket as well as the downsides of still having both points and ticket costs if I lost. I was impressed with how he always kept me in the loop on... this ticket for almost 3 years without me ever needing to intervene. This allowed me to fight the ticket to the very end without any impact on my stress levels or bandwidth. I was so used to his communications that I didn't even realize when he was trying to tell me I won my case! You can't completely control these outcomes, but what you can control is peace of mind in how these cases are handled and who you work with. Not once during did I ever feel like I was forgotten or uncertain with what I should be doing. Without hesitation, I would recommend James Medows to anyone for traffic-related needs.

Simply the best. 10 stars

I have been represented by numerous lawyers before but Mr Medows is by far the best out there. He just had my two tickets dismissed in the toughest court there is, in Staten Island. Zero points. Unbelievable. He is simply the best. Highly recommend. Extremely talented and knowledgeable. 10 stars, ...not five. If u ever get a ticket, please don't waste ur time with other lawyers. Please call Mr Medows. He literally saved my license today. Thank you sir!!! I am ecstatic right now and overwhelmed with joy. Amazing.

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.

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.

NEVER make an illegal turn in NYC

I have recommended Mr. Meadows to all of my friends and am now recommending him to all of Avvo. Several years ago, I received two traffic tickets in NYC. After reading his reviews, I contacted Mr. Meadows and he immediately responded. He explained, as I was aware, that NYC will not negotiate traffic ...tickets, but agreed to attempt to have them dismissed. He appeared on my behalf for several court dates and had them postponed. He kept me informed on the status of each court date. On the final date a few months ago, one of the tickets with 2 points was dismissed and I was fined approximately $150 for the other with 0 points. The fine and Mr. Meadows’ reasonable fee, of which he refunded approximately $50, were an absolute bargain! Without Mr. Meadows help dismissing the one ticket, I would have paid thousands more over the next few years for the second fine, government surcharges and insurance premiums. If you are as desperate as I was, call him! If anyone can have your ticket dismissed, he can. (And NEVER make an illegal turn in NYC.)
