Andrew Scott Fistel

I only wish I had read review about Andrew before hiring him. I hired him to handle several traffic tickets for me. I paid up front for all three cases; one in Westchester and two in NYC. Aside from the fact that Andrew is literally impossible to get in touch with --- staff will not put him on the ph...one and his staff routinely does not return voicemails --- it is clear and apparent that the office does not actually care about its clients. The office missed one court date. And another another I couldn't get anyone to call me back to give me an update. I had to resort to sending lengthy emails to the office just to prove that I had been trying to reach out and was not receiving a response. It was incredibly frustrating and baffling-- how could he still be in business? I eventually had to hire new attorneys for all three cases this office was handling, never to get my money back from Andrew Fistel.

Hired Andrew Fistel to deal with a wrong turn ticket. Court hearing was rescheduled 3 times, they call me to said that the lawyer fail to appear to the hearing and I have to pay a $40 bond on the last day by 1 pm and that bond has to be paid that day before 4pm all this to force you to pay an addi...tional fee to them so they will make the payment for you, all for the outcome to be found guilty and have points on my record. Please never hire this lawyer I would not recommend to anyone. I don't feel he tried hard enough to beat the case. Just taking people's money. I regret asking him to handle my ticket.

Oh please avoid this place. Long story short - they took my money to represent me for a simple traffic infraction. Then failed to show up at the court and I ended up with a default judgment against me, even though I still had the ability to extend the ticket one more time through the DMV. Horrible re...presentation. Will be filing a complaint with the State Bar over his practice's negligence in failing to represent me as promised. Please save your money and either fight the ticket yourself or hire someone else.

Hired Mr. Fistel in the traffic court in Queens, he adjourned my case for me based on the judge. His office sent me paperwork and the credit card receipt within the week. They called me before the next date, informed me I didn't have to attend and asked me to call back one to two days after hearing d...ate, I did as told ( I admit I had to call twice to get through) and was informed my ticket was dismissed. It was a 5 point violation so I was very happy to hear it was dismissed , I would and have recommended Mr. Fistel several times since.

I USED TO USE THIS GUY SERVICES A FEW YEARS AGO HE USED TO CHARGE 50 % AT FRONT AND THE REST AT THE END.BUT LATELY HE ASK YOU FOR ALL THE MONEY AT FRONT. AND HE ALREADY LOST MY COUSIN'CASE AND ALSO MINE.I ALMOST GOT MY LICENSE SUSPENDED BE VERY CAREFUL AND PUT YOUR COMPLAINT TO THE RIGHT AUTHORITIES...
