Excellent, professional results

Kristin Galison represented me in a Nassau County municipal traffic ticket matter that could have resulted in 2 points and a significant fine based upon the original charge. The end result was a reduced charge with zero points and a reduced fine. Kristin was extremely professional and responsive thro...ughout the process. I felt that I was very well represented and would highly recommend her to others.

Kristin Galison = Great results

I would highly recommend Kristin Galison for help with a speeding ticket. Ms. Galison represented my son in traffic court and was able to get a 6 point ticket reduced to 2 points. Working with this office was stress free, professional, up front and result oriented. This is the second time we have use...d this attorney for traffic related issues with great results. I highly recommend the use of this attorney.

KRISTIN GALISON (ATTY) 5 POINT CELL PHONE TICKET DISMISSED!!!!!

I was very distraught when I got pulled over May 2017 for a cell phone ticket. (was using phone for GPS directions but unlucky for me had it in my hand) I contacted a few atty offices and ended up feeling even worse as I was basically being told by each one "I was up the creek without a paddle". One ...atty said Best outcome would probably be cell phone ticket gets knocked down to a "follow to closely ticket" with a fine and still a couple points on my license. Jeeez...Another atty told me about a program where I had to pay a huge amt to be put into this program where they monitor your cell phone usage for 6 mths and if no discrepancies, cell phone ticket may be knock down to traffic violation etc..what!!! Then I found DAVID GALISON traffic atty office online, Called and consulted with atty KRISTIN GALISON and the first thing that struck me was that she listened, then when she spoke - Sounded Confident in what she does and very knowledgeable - she did not give me any false hopes, stated what the down side was, mentioned about the program too, admitted she hasnt really utilized that program, and indicated she has a high success rate history with possible dismissals. I made the decision, I hired atty KRISTIN GALISON to represent me in court - she filed a motion to have cell phone ticket dismissed. I contacted her during the process and got prompt response as to the status of the court case. The entire process took approx 2 months or so - not once did I have to show up in court. I left everything in the capable hands of lawyer Galison. I recently got the final disposition and believe me, I was totally ECSTATIC to find out my 5 point cell phone ticket was DISMISSED!! ZERO POINTS, ZERO FINE IMPOSED. I would most definitely recommend this lawyer Kristin Galison should you find yourself in this type of situation. Professional and knows her stuff. Needless to say, great outcome for me. However, now... my cell phone stays (practically glued) into the cell phone holder while driving.

Moving Violations Squashed

I just wanted to provide a sincere thank you to Kristin Galison of David Galison, P.C. whose help in resolving 8 points that could have been applied to my driver's license, invaluable. It was reduced to 0 points, awesome. She was fast, efficient and personable.

From 6 pts down to 0

Great lawyer, very responsive. Best of all great representation. Recieved a speeding ticket in Nassau County. Did not want points on my license. Called Kristin Galison and from the first call I knew I was in good hands. She was able to get me off with 0 points on my license compared to 6 pts. If you ...ever get a ticket in Nassau County or Suffolk this is the lawyer you want! Thanks Kristin!!!
