Kristin did a great job negotiating a reduction in points on an 80 MPH in a 55 MPH and reduction in other traffic offences issued by the same Nassau County Highway Cop. Highly recommeded if you find yourself in a similar situation. I've since switched cars (Tesla Y instead of a Mercedes GL250) and either I'm driving better or I'm less visible. I think it's a little of both!
This law firm is attentive. They listen to your concerns, situation, and respond with clear accurate information. I'm glad I found them. My ticket was resolved and the communication was professional.

No points
I was researching traffic attorneys and I had a list of three to call. I happened to call Kristen first and from my brief conversation with her I was confident that she was the one to use. I was right. She got my speeding ticket reduced to a parking violation with a nominal fee. She had this resolved for me within days. I highly recommend her.

Avoided a nightmare
I consulted another attorney's office before I went with Kristen. After speaking with both the other party and Kristin I felt much more comfortable with Kristin and decided to go with her. She always returned my calls promptly and was direct when I asked questions and I certainly was relieved and very pleased with the results. I got my cell phone while driving ticket, 5 points, reduced to a traffic ticket with no points. Kristin took care of everything for me and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with a ticket. I could not have asked for a better outcome. Very professional and courteous and obviously knows what she is doing and will tell you what to expect. Thanks so much!

100% satisfaction
I highly recommend Kristin Galison . Kristin is very responsive, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with .
Once I contacted her in regard to my daughter's speedy ticket I immediately felt at ease .I was very confident it would be handled efficiently . Kristin was able to get a 4 point speeding ticket reduced to a no point fine . I couldn't have expected a better result .
She is also in the process of working through another ticket with my son . My kids do a lot of driving in areas where they tend to issue more tickets than normal . Good thing I have the help of Kristin's legal services .

Highly recommend Kristin Galison for traffic court/traffic infractions
I needed legal assistance after getting three traffic tickets. I was facing 4 points on my license and over $2K in fines. I did some research and came across Kristin Galison's firm. I sent them an email and she responded very quickly (within the same evening). By the next day, she had sent me detailed instructions with how to proceed and kept me informed about the process. Finally, after some time (the courts were closed due to the Pandemic) I was informed that not only was she able to negotiate the infractions down; my fines were reduced from over $2K to $300, and no points were put on my license. I'm extremely grateful for her service and hard work. I highly recommend her services.

Amazing Attorney
I hired Kristin Galison based on the reviews I had read on AVVO.
What a great decision I made to hire her. She was amazing. After my consultation she handled everything. She got my tickets reduced from 6 points to no points months before my court date.

Nassau County Traffic Ticket
I received a traffic ticket from NCPD for "Avoiding a Traffic Device or Intersection" meaning I cut through a parking lot to avoid a red light camera. The ticket was for $368 and 2 points. Kristin was able to reduce that to "J-walking" at $250 ticket and more importantly no points and I didn't have to spend a day at a Nassau County traffic court!
I would highly recommend. Well worth the investment!

2nd Speeding Ticket: No Points
I had received my second speeding ticket in a 3 month span and I knew I had to hire an attorney in order to prevent my license from being suspended. My boss where I work had motioned to me that he received a speeding ticket for 98/55 on the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway and used Kristen's services to get it lowered to a Jaywalking fine and no points. Whilst my ticket was only for 70/55 on the Sothern State Parkway (Feb 2020), I knew that she could do an excellent job for me to. Lo and behold, in Oct 2020 I received and email that she indeed pulled through: a four point ticket reduced to no points. My license would not be suspended. I am still awaiting my results for my first ticket, but I have no reason to believe that I would not be happy with the results. I am not the type of people who likes to review things online, but this situation is worth mentioning. The reason for me writing this: If you find yourself in a situation in Nassau County due to your lead foot, I assure you that you would not be disappointed by her results. Not only would I recommend her, but I would say that she should be the only person you think of should the situation arise. I hope I would not need her services again, but knowing me, I think I may in the near future.

6 points reduced to no points
Kristin Galison did an unbelivable thing to reduce 6 points to zero point. She was reliable, professional and successful. I'd like to recommend her to anyone who has ticket problems.
