A Man Who Really Cares

If you need excellent Representation ( especially) with Traffic Court on Long Island or beyond Mr. James Schwartz should definitely be your Counselor! Mr. Schwartz is patient, highly knowledgeable of the Court system, and able to quickly formulate a plan for a successful outcome to your problem. He... is very easy to talk to and will negotiate to the best of his ability on your behalf. He also makes hiring an attorney affordable. I am very happy with the positive outcome of my case and so will you.

OUTSTANDING!!

James was extremely professional, upfront, honest, and personable. He is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and VERY easy to work with. Fees are beyond reasonable!!! I was charged with a misdemeanor for a short lapse in auto insurance. With James' guidance, my case was dismissed in court. THANK YO...U!

Saved my life !

When I thought hope was lost and my life was over. This man restored it all for me! Got stopped twice by Suffolk PD, and after receiving more than a couple tickets, I knew I would have to pay a hefty fine and most likely lose my license. Well, was I wrong for thinking that? After consuming James for ...a day and a half, not only did I fix my license and bring it back into working order but this God sent of an attorney went to court in CI, told me to not to worry and go to work. I went to work and about 11AM gives me a call and asks “do you want the good news or bad news?” I said give me the bad news first to get it over with, he said “bad news is we won’t have anymore business with eachother after the good news” I’m shocked to hear that so I say give me the good news! “Good news is the judge dismissed both cases and threw back all out” I looked like a kid wanting to jump up and down at work. This man is the real deal ! Anyone that needs a lawyer or has a future case or even wants to consult him for any advice, hit this guy up ! He’s the man and I couldn’t be more appreciative and grateful for his help ! James thank you again !

best lawyer!

i got tickets for suspended license and registration and the day before my court date i gave james a call and he picked up right away ready to help me out! he sat on the phone with me for hours throughout the day informing me on things i was unaware of, and helped me get this case settled, and things... settled on my personal end. this could have been thousands of dollars in tickets and points on my license but he got it dropped down to a simple cheap parking ticket without me even stepping foot in the courthouse. i will 100% be going back to James when i need assistance in the future!

Saving grace!

I reached out to James after receiving his letter and my court date was the following day (6/27/23) at 11am. I went with my gut based on the reviews here and sent James everything he asked me for. I was driving my friends car back home from my fathers funeral on 6/7/23 and got pulled over a moving vi...olation. The officer gave me a ton of tickets. It turned out my friends registration was suspended so I got a misdemeanor for that plus multiple moving violations and vehicle violations (side window tints, windshield tint, apparently brake light was out). I was facing a criminal charge (potential 30 days in jail) with over 20+ points that would’ve taken away my drivers license because of an officer on a power trip. I had just buried my father and left the cemetery 30 mins prior. James went to my court arraignment, as I could not make it, and got all of my tickets dismissed except for one, which was turned in to a parking violation ticket for $225. He protected my clean driving record and my clean criminal record. Truly a blessing in disguise, I can not explain my gratitude. I spoke to him only once for about 20 mins to discuss the case, and for 10 mins after he represented me in court to discuss the outcome. It was that easy. I have never been so impressed with results.
