Mr. David S. Kapp: An effective, reliable, reasonable and respectful attorney!

After receiving a speeding ticket by state police in Suffolk County, NY, in November of 2012, I decided to find a lawyer to represent me. After speaking with several law firms, and being told, quite often, "Mr. or Mrs. Z will get back to you," I contacted Mr. Kapp and got to speak directly with him,... with no intervening secretaries to take all my information (and give me little back). Mr. Kapp remained involved in my case even as the traffic court system in Suffolk County was changing (in the course of receiving my ticket and resolving it, the ticket was handled first by NYS, then by Suffolk County after the state closed its offices in Suffolk). Mr. Kapp gave me clear, concise information on what to expect, and I found him to be most reliable, honest, informative, respectful and responsive . . . a combination of virtues difficult to find in any professional in any field. Throughout his handling of my case and the resolution of my ticket, I found Mr. Kapp to be highly effective. He had my ticket reduced from an 80 mph speeding violation (on the LIE with its 55 mph speed limit) to a *parking ticket.* No insurance headaches to contend with, and no points on my license hanging over my head! Mr. Kapp's fees were reasonable and consistent with or lower than other attorneys I had spoken with, and he kept his word on that. The degree to which he expedited the ticket and my case and again, his responsiveness to me (e.g., returning calls and emails, mailing information), were unexpected, welcome, and, I imagine, highly unusual. Thank you, Mr. Kapp, for your wonderful services. I will use you again if I have a need and I will refer to you anyone else I know who might have a need for your services. BG Mineola, NY

Long Island Speeding Ticket

David's knowledge of the law and expertise mitigated the stress caused by the ticketing experience. His case follow up and communication of options kept me informed as well as educated, and when the case was won, it made the whole process worth the fight.

A job well done

Dave was extremely professional and also very personable. He was always available for legal counsel and kept me updated on the status of my case at all times. I couldn't be happier with the services provided and the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend Dave to everyone.

Very reasonable, professional and knowledgeable.

I met Dave after scouring the internet for a traffic lawyer I felt would be able to represent me to the fullest. Well after the fact, I feel like Dave did exactly that. He kept me informed after every single court date and made me feel very comfortable from the second I called him until the end of my... case. He was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the law as well as the specific court houses on Long Island. He was also very nice and easy to talk to and answered all my questions throughout my year and a half speeding altercation promptly whenever I would randomly decide to call or email him. In the end I was up against a 6 point speeder in the Hauppauge TVB with a cop who was definitely showing up considering we had a bitter exchange during the ticketing. Dave was very upfront about the possible outcomes and ultimately he was able to get me a 2 point reduction on the grounds that the cop was driving a vehicle that did not have its speedometer calibrated. I am very very happy because had I represented myself like I did the last time, I would have surely been charged with the full 6 points and would have most likely gotten my CDL suspended. Thanks again Dave, not too many people ask about traffic lawyers but when they do I will be singing your praises.
