Excellent Service, Successful Outcome

Mr. Kevin took care of my speeding ticket case in a NY court and I was totally satisfied by his performance and the outcome he was able to achieve. I was in transit in I-90/NY and got stopped by a highway patrol officer for a 80/55 speeding ticket- which is a 6 point and $$$. I contacted Kevin and ...he explained to me what should I expect and how he will handle my case. He seemed to be very clear and honest on the phone and he proved to be so. He was very responsive when I had inquiries via phone or email. This was very valuable for someone like me with no previous experience handling traffic tickets. Mr. Kevin was able to negotiate and reduce my case to a smaller charge with no points and less fees - he saved me at least $600 of fees. I strongly recommend Kevin to handle ant NY traffic case. Thank you Kevin.

Lowered a 6-point violation to a 2-point

I strongly recommend Kevin--I utilized his services for a 6-point speeding violation (a 95 in a 65) and he was successfully able to argue the ticket down to a 2-point violation (disobeying a traffic device). This saved me $450 in fines (both from the court and from a DMV "Driver's Responsibility" fee... that I would've been hit with for having 6 points on my license. I also never had to appear in court, which was a huge bonus as I got the ticket two hours from home. Kevin also responds extremely promptly to e-mails, which is helpful as I was nervous throughout the process. If I ever get a ticket again (knock on wood), I will utilize his services again.

Speeding Ticket in New York

First of all a big thanks To Kevin!! I am a Canadian citizen and got the speeding ticket in New York on my way to Florida in March 8, 2017. I was quite frustrated but fortunately I send an email to Kevin after doing some search on-line. Kevin did an amazing job and he was very clear and very pro...fessional in providing the information. He professionally answered all my questions in timely manner. Finally Kevin managed to settle down my ticket to Parking lot violation ticket. And this didn't cost me any points and aslo my driving records remained clean. Beside that he managed this case without my presence in New York. Once again thanks a lot Kevin!!

Really honest, helpful lawyer!

I sent him an online inquiry about getting a 4 point ticket talked down while already having 4 points on my record from speeding. Within 10 minutes of clicking "submit" on the form, he contacted me via email. Despite not being able to help me due to some specifics of my case, he was very honest and t...old me all he could feasibly do for me would be to handle it by mail for a reduction, but that is something I could do myself without paying an attorney's fee, and he gave me detailed instructions on how to do so. I would highly recommend him to others seeking legal counsel on traffic violations.

Great Experience!

Kevin was very professional and easy to work with. Better than that, he was able to get my ticket reduced from a 4 point fine to no points! He walked me through the process and was very responsive whenever I asked him a question.
