Posted by Jessica | September 21, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

You are in the right place if you need a traffic attorney in upstate NY!

I highly recommend Mr. Wagman, he is attentive and professional! He represented me in a highly professional manner regarding a traffic case in the Catskills NY area, and he was able to persuade the Court to reduce the charges to favorable resolution. Being out of state, Mr. Wagman represented me in c...ourt without the need for me to appear in person. He was prompt in responding to my call for assistance, was always courteous, attentive and helpful. Mr. Wagman’s team does a wonderful job in keeping me on track and giving me timely feedback. My advice to anyone who needs an experienced and caring attorney with positive results is to call Mr. Wagman.

Very Satisfied

Got a 4 point speeding ticket in Lake George town. I got Mr Wagman number from my friend whom he helped in past. He did the magic this time too and 4 points speeding violation was converted into a zero point parking violation in plea deal. His office kept me posted and explained in detail how the pro...cess works.

Total Pleasure to Talk to and Honest

I got pulled over for 73 in a 55, but the officer gave a road side reduction to an 1110A disobeyed traffic device. He said it was no points, but after doing some research I found out it was 2 points. I called Mr Wagman and he was a pleasure to talk with on the phone. He spent 20 minutes talking with ...me and did not rush off. He let me know that he could likely reduce it to a 0 point ticket and told me all of the fees, which were very reasonable. He was also very honest with me and did not just try to convince me to hire him. He said, since I had a clean record, that the 2 points would likely not cause any increase in my insurance. He said it may not be worth the extra cost and I should check with my insurance company before hiring him. Well I did check and my company said it would not increase my rates. So for now I will not be hiring Mr Wagner, but definitely would use him if I get pulled over again. Thanks!!
