Client

I would highly recommend Ms. Goldfarb for any criminal or traffic violation. She was very professional and handled my case with ease!

Outstanding Attorney! Insurance lapse/suspension

I am extremely grateful to Ms. Marci Goldfarb, Esq. She is an extremely smart, kind and thorough attorney. She represented me which I needed, and had the charges against me completely dismissed! I can’t thank her enough for all she did for me and will definitely hire her again if I need an attorne...y. I recommended her with 5 stars!!!

Amazing attorney

My son received a violation after crashing into a guard rail upstate NY. We hired Marci to defend him and she was able to get the charge reduced from a 3 point speeding violation, with a fine and potential jail time, to a zero point parking violation. She took care of everything and we did not have t...o worry about it. I would highly recommend Marci.

My Traffic Ticket Resolved

Marci carefully and creatively used her network as well as her negotiating skills to achieve a reasonable settlement between the court and myself. I couldn't ask for a better outcome. I faced severe penalties that would have impacted my livelihood as well as punitive expenses. Words alone cannot e...xpress my gratitude to Marci.

Helped get me out of a Jam!

I met Marci at a Chamber of commerce meeting for local businesses in Farmingdale. After not seeing eachother for a few months our paths crossed again. As luck would have it I was in need of a lawyer to help with a bunch of DOT Tickets I received for one of my commercial vehicles. I spoke with Marci a...bout it and without hesitation she asked to see what tickets I had recieved. She noted that the tickets fell in criminal court (who woulda thought!) and that I needed to appear in front of a judge in less than 6 days. So, without thinking about it I asked Marci if she could help and of course she did just that. I was more than happy to hear that all but one of my tickets were dismissed and the one that wasn’t, was reduced to a basic traffic ticket. The best part, I didn’t even have to show up in court so I could continue to run my business! Marci is worth every penny and will certainly help get you out of any situation you may find yourself in. I wil absolutely use her again if needed! Thanks again Marci!

"I have known Marci since 1984. From the day I met her I was impressed with her intelligence, toughness and diligence. Marci helped my teenage son when he first got his license and got a speeding ticket. He could have had his license taken away. Marci was very impressive the way she handled my son's court appearance. She made sure my son was too scared to ever do it again but she also ensured that he got the best possible result from the judge. She knows all the prosecutors and judges in all the courts. Since that time I have recommended her services to numerous family members and friends and many have been repeat clients of hers. I would strongly endorse Marci as a highly skilled, knowledgable and competent attorney."
