Amazing Lawyer

Scott was recommended to me by a friend and I have nothing negative to say about him after hired. I had a 98 in a 55mph zone speeding ticket, brought all the way down to basically a parking ticket and no points. Amazing work and definitely out performed from what he promised me in my consolation. Reg...ardless what he costs to take care of your situation, Scott is well worth your time!!

My SOS was answered !

When I asked my friends husband who happens to be an attorney for someone to help me navigate a traffic violation for my teenage driver I had no idea how great this would pan out. Scott Black explained all the necessary steps to me & provided all possible outcomes in a clear & concise matter. Scott B...lack continually gave me updates about the tickets my young driver had received & eased my mind of worry. The outcome was fantastic. No points & no insurance issues! I will be happy to use Scott Black for any traffic matters in the future and I highly recommended his services. Do not hesitate to call him for help. He’s golden.

Priceless!

In September 2020, I was charged with speeding, where I was alleged to be going 98 mph in a 55 mph zone. Which, if convicted would’ve been 11 points (with a possible DMV DL suspension), fine and even more significant impact on my insurance. In addition, a Driver Responsibility Assessment of $300 per ...year for 3 years. After searching for more than a week for a lawyer and almost hiring another attorney (so grateful didn’t work out), my fiancé researched and found Mr. Black of Jones & Black, P.C. Before contacting Mr. Black, my patience was short, anxiety level was through the roof worrying about the unknown consequences of this time sensitive and the financial stressors of this ticket. Obviously a vulnerable situation that any lawyer would easily seize the opportunity to their advantage. Once our initial phone conversation was over, I was so relieved knowing I had found the right attorney. He not only put me(somewhat) at ease but, gained my confidence in his straight forward, non-sugarcoating approach. His professionalism showed true through his craft with quick, informative, reliable response to all forms of communication. Balancing the scale with sincere personable and honest transparency, Mr. Black has restored the characteristics and values one can only hope to find in a lawyer...PRICELESS! With that said, while experiencing his own personal challenges, Mr. Black channeled his focus to effectively and successfully reduce my charge down to a non-moving, no-point “parking ticket”, no impact on my insurance, and completely avoided the additional DMV Assessment. No good enough? The amount in fees I had to pay which included the expected fine, court fees and surcharges was a grand total of $125.00. Time frame? Considering the impact of COVID which slowed down the already slow motion court system, beginning to end I had a done deal within 90 days! I highly recommend Mr. Black and will surely be referring my friends and family to him. He will be the first person I call if needed in the future. Sincerely Gil R

Scott took care of a speeding ticket for me back in 2018 and then again this week. He reduced my “speeding in work zone” to “jaywalking”. No points on my license and nothing on my abstract! It’s like it never happened. I definitely recommend him!

Best Traffic Lawyer EVER

I’ve used a couple different traffic lawyers in my time and I have to say NO ONE worked as efficiently and made as much of a difference as Scott Black. No matter which part of the Island he was able to help me out, getting RIDICULOUS results such as 13 points to zero points and just recently 17 point...s to zero. My license would have been suspended multiple times over if not Scott and if you have any doubts at all you should give him a call and let his work speak foe himself.
