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 .

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.
