Super helpful! Transparent/straightforward

Marci explained all the details/preventative steps to take and was extremely helpful in reducing my ticket. Responded so quickly to emails/inquiries which turned out to be very beneficial. Highly recommend, best representation (especially during Covid).

Posted by Justin | December 15, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Obtained dismissal in NYC traffic court

An NYPD officer mistakenly wrote me a ticket for improper cell phone use despite my cell phone being docked to a hands free cell phone holder. Although I pointed it out to the officer, he still falsely accused me of witnessing me with my phone in my hand (not true). Marci listened to my story and too...k my case all the way to trial where she prevailed by getting my case dismissed in its entirety. What’s especially impressive is that that winning at trial in the NYC traffic court is extremely rare since the judges typically consider a police officer’s testimony as carrying more weight (even if they’re dishonest). At the end of the day, Marci convinced the judge that my version was more credible and got my case dismissed! If you’re looking for a lawyer who will actually fight for you to the end, Marci is the lawyer for you!

Great representation!!!

Marci helped dismiss a court appearance for one of my employees. Marci is attentive, knowledgeable and influential. I will definitely retain her services again.

Amazing work

I hired Ms. Goldfarb after receiving a ticket in the 5 boroughs. She explained things to me clearly about how the city’s court system works, demonstrating a superior level of expertise, and I felt confident that she would help me achieve the best possible outcome for my case. Sure enough, after sever...al months, Ms. Goldfarb succeeded in getting my ticket dismissed. Ms. Goldfarb is highly professional, patient, and communicative with clients during what can sometimes be prolonged legal processes. I am thrilled with my decision to put my trust in her, and I highly recommend her!

"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."
