Posted by Kerem | August 19, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

quick response, case resolved as promised (from 8 points to zero)

Gary called me 5 minutes after I left a message on his website. I was charged with speeding 34 miles over the speed limit in Southampton and I was facing 8 points on my license. After a 5-minute conversation I decided he is the right guy to work with. Whenever I emailed him with a question he was pro...mpt with the response. Gary estimated zero to 3 points and he got me the best result: zero points. If I ever need an attorney in the area, now I know who to call.

He really delivers.

In May of this year I was pulled over for making an illegal left turn coming out of a parking lot. I didn't know that wasn't allowed, but I guess it wasn't in this case. The officer handed me a rolled up piece of paper and told me to have a good night. When I got home I unrolled the paper and found t...hat on top of receiving a ticket for the illegal turn I was also given a ticket for going 20 miles over the speed limit. I was never told by the officer that I was being given this speeding ticket and there is absolutely no way that I was going 20 miles over the speed limit while making a left turn out of a parking lot. I was looking at 7 points on my license and hundreds in fines and yearly Driver Assessment fees. I knew I had to fight this, but I've never had a ticket before and had no idea how to do it. Luckily I found Gary Miller's information online. I contacted Gary and left him a message. He called me back within the hour and told me to fax over the tickets and he would do his best to get a reduction in the points and fines. He didn't make any promises, but he was very confident that he could sort it out in my favor. It was clear from speaking to him that he had a lot of experience in working through the LI traffic court system. That was the only time I spoke to him. All other communication was by email. End result: BOTH TICKETS HAVE BEEN DISMISSED! Gary knows the LI traffic court system like no other lawyer I researched (I researched a lot) and his rates are very reasonable for the level of service and results that he delivers. If you find yourself in need of help in sorting out LI traffic violations look no further than Gary Miller.

Awesome lawyer!

I have hired Gary Miller for help three times...and he delivered EVERY time! He is calm and listens carefully and takes charge. The most recent time was earlier this year for a 3 point stop sign ticket which I was just advised was dismissed! Two years ago, he was able to have my son's 6 point s...peeding ticket reduced to a 2 point failed to signal lane change and another 3 point stop sign ticket was reduced to a 0 point Jaywalking! I highly recommend Gary Miller...look no further and give him a call!

Absolute best option, especially for Hauppauge (I did a lot of research)

Gary is really there for you, responds to every question immediately. Most important, he is honest and clear, no stupid and unfulfillable stories and promises (you should be aware of those, I contacted and researched quite a number of lawyers). He tells you what is possible and knows the Suffolk Coun...ty traffic violation bureau (Hauppauge) in and out, and will get for you the best possible outcome in this corrupted system (Hauppauge seems to be particularly notorious). In the end I saved quite some money and a number of points on my license even including the lawyers honorary, which is quite fair in Gary’s case, especially compared with others. In summary, especially for the court in Hauppauge, Gary is your absolute best option!!! My case: I was going 70 mph on the LIE, during the week 8pm, and a cop stopped me saying I was going 95mph! He was “pacing” my speed, so unfortunately there was no recorded, real measurement. My car is a 2002 Volkswagen Golf with more than 180.000 miles on it. There is no way to bring it to 95 without risking that it will be damaged, if at all. Also, I invested $2000 just four months before and I am certainly interested that the car lasts another couple of years. None of the evidence, the state of my car and the recent maintenance, would have been considered by the court. This is what I learned reading about Hauppauge’s court and also Gary convincingly explained me that going on trial would not work to get the charges reduced ore dismissed. Just because the cop outrageously lied I started at a very high level. I could have get 8 points (which increases the car insurance significantly) and a speeding ticket for $600 plus $100 each year for three years for the “Drivers Assessment”. Gary managed to get a plea bargain for a non-speeding ticket ($300 including all fees and thus no "Drivers Assessment") and 4 points on my license. The problem is that the system and the cops are absolutely unfair and unjust, but Gary is the best chance to avoid the worts and get the best reduction.

A Stressful Situation Made Much Easier

I received a moving violation (crossing from a regular lane into an HOV lane) on the LIE in Suffolk County in early November when I was about to move to Florida. According to the ticket, also the court date wouldn’t be until mid-January, when I no longer would be in New York. Even worse, I found out ...the points would transfer (ugh), would have higher insurance rates (I had to get auto insurance in Florida) and would have to live with the fear of getting another one for 3 years along with the possibility of even higher insurance rates. Was devastated! I didn’t know whether to pay the ticket or fight the ticket. I decided to look into fighting it. I did a lot of research, and read a lot of reviews. I have found out in the past, having a lawyer that specializes in the area that you need help in is very important. According, to Mr. Miller’s profile, he seemed to specialize in the traffic ticket area, and along with that, he got excellent reviews. He fit the profile of what I was looking for. I decided to speak to Mr. Miller before I would make my decision. I called his office up and spoke to his assistant (Ms. Melendez). She was very helpful, courteous, patient, and tried to answer my questions as best she could. Also, his assistant told me that some questions could only be answered by Mr. Miller, whom was in court presently, and would return my phone call after he finished with court. When he called, I explained to him my situation. I asked if there was anything he could do for me? He was very upfront! He told me his fee, and said he could get it reduced down to a parking ticket, NO POINTS, and a fine (and an administrative surcharge on the fine if you want to pay for it on Suffolk County’s web site). He said he would take care of the entire process and that it would be done in a few weeks! All I would have to do is pay the fine and the surcharge on the Suffolk County Traffic Ticket web site! Very skeptical, I asked what were my true chances of getting all those things he just promised? He told me this is what he does, day-in, day-out. I decided to take the chance and fight the ticket. I hired and paid his fee on the spot. Sure enough, a few weeks later, it was all taken care of! I paid the fine on the Suffolk County Traffic Ticket web site and the whole episode was finished! Moving is stressful enough. Now at least I don't have this ticket to worry about and to hang over me for 3 years! Thank you so much Mr. Miller!
