6 point speeding ticket reduced to Littering

Mr. Goldman was definitely very helpful and relieved a lot of my stress from receiving my ticket. I did not have to attend court or the pretrial conference. I was going 81 in a 55 mile per hour zone which would have been a 6 point ticket. He reduced the speeding ticket to a VTL 1220 "Littering," esse...ntially a parking ticket where it does not have points, does not affect my insurance, and does not go on my driving record. I am very thankful for the great work he did for my case.

Best service ever

Was stopped for speeding and for failing to move over (move over law). The lawyer kept me updated consistently. Ended up with no points on my license!

Ben Goldman just made my ticket go away.

Traveling 6 hours to drop off my son to college on the way home my wife and I get pulled over at 82 mph by a NY State Trooper (sounds familiar?). Who has the time and can take off work to fight a ticket that truthfully is accurate ? Even if I did take the time to fight the ticket, it would still co...st me in income lost, travel time (6 hours each way) and then ultimately whatever the court finally ruled. Mr. Benjamin Goldman Esq. took my case with the understanding that for his fee, which was reasonable, he would get my case completely dismissed or whatever fine levied would be paid out from this same fee. What did I have to loose, I felt like now it is in my lawyer’s best interest to get the dismissal so that he earns his entire fee. As magical as it sounds he assured me that he would get the complete dismissal with no points or fines. And THAT is exactly what he delivered. I didn’t bother asking him “how he did it?” I just said “thank you” to Benjamin Goldman Esq. and simply went on with my life. I now still have ZERO points on my license and my insurance cost has not gone up. I will make sure that I hang on to his contact information and I will gladly recommend Benjamin Goldman, Esq. to anyone that has to travel on all these beautiful upstate highways.

Traffic Violation

Did a great job. When first contacted he outlined exactly the steps that would be taken and the time frame. The final result was as he had indicated as possible and within the time frame anticipated. Very pleased with the result and would very definitely recommend the firm. David

Amazing Service Ticket Dismissed

I took a trip up to the Finger Lakes for the weekend. Had a great time too, but on the way back I received a speeding ticket for 80 in a 65. I live in NJ and just dont want the automatic two points so I began to look for a lawyer. Trust me there are many... The thing I liked about Ben Goldman office ...was they offered a money back garantee. No other lawyer I found offered that. Additionally if the ticket is reduced to a no point ticket, his office pays that out of their fee. No additionally fees needed. No lawyer I found offered that either. Its all in your contract that you sign before he takes your case. Guess what?! Ben delivered! Ticket dismissed! If your planning to hire a lawyer I definitely recommend BG.
