Very satisfied with results from out-of-state case

I hired Glenn Bruno to represent me as the defendant for a speeding ticket in Poughkeepsie, NY. I live out-of-state (California) and I was unable to appear in court myself. From the first time I contacted Glenn, he remained very professional and covered all of the details with me. He went to court ...on my behalf and was able to have the charges reduced to a non-point-carrying infraction that did not impact my California drivers license. Further, the cost of the fine and surcharge were less than was originally estimated. I could not be more satisfied with Glenn Bruno's services, and therefore I am posting this review to let others know my experience.

Couldn't have found a better lawyer for my needs

I would VERY HIGHLY recommend Mr. Glenn Bruno’s services to anyone considering hiring him. This is why: I got a speeding ticket while on vacation. After appealing my ticket, I needed to hire a lawyer to appear for me, since I am a college student and didn’t have the time to leave school and appear a...t a hearing. While shopping around for a lawyer, I called Mr. Bruno. The number I called went to his personal cell. He informed me that not only was he familiar with the prosecuting court, but he had also known the prosecutor for a while, and that the prosecutor did not give much lenience for my kind of speeding ticket. He said that he would try his best, but my trial may not turn out how I was hoping. I chose Mr. Bruno’s firm over others because of his honesty. Despite his realism when I spoke to him on the phone, the amount that I ended up spending on the reduced ticket and his services was similar to what I would have spent on the original ticket alone. It was definitely worth it, since I now have no points on my license and my insurance rates won’t go up. After hiring him, I never had to lift a finger; he handled my case himself and sent me the results of my hearing the day before my first final exam. What a relief that was! If you are considering him among other lawyers for your own legal situation, I would recommend calling Mr. Bruno. He is a straightforward man who doesn’t mince words, and his experience trumps all other lawyers in his area.

No-nonsense, efficient and cost effective

There are so many ways one can go wrong when looking for an lawyer, so many wrong assumptions you can make! Getting a speed ticket on the south-bound Taconic Pkwy, I stared calling traffic lawyers in Hopewell Junction, hoping prices would be reasonable because of the proximity to the court. I found t...heir prices very high while they are trying to manage my expectations. Fortunately, I kept looking and from the first phone call, Glenn's courteous but no-nonsense approach put me at ease. He did not make promises he could not deliver, did not ask for an arm and a leg for his fees and did not try to scare me either by lowering my expectations. He always personally replied to my emails or phone calls and instructed his staff to do follow-up. He ended up getting me the best deal one could imagine (0 pt) along with a reasonable fine amount. It was money well spent and I hope that this review helps many other traffic offenders fellows.

Excellent, professional, and resaonable

I was caught speeding on I84 doing 87 in a 65. This was my first violation but I knew it would involve points on my license, a sizable fine and ultimately a much higher insurance rate. I was referred to Mr. Bruno from a friend of a friend. I called and left a message not knowing what to expect. ...Within an hour Mr. Bruno called me back and he walked me through the process. He made me feel like I was in the hands of an experienced professional - and in the end that is exactly what I was. He represented me in court - I didn't even have to show up - and got my violation reduced to basically a parking ticket, no points and a smaller than expected fine. I would highly recommend Mr. Bruno to anyone who needs an attorney.

Even better than promised

Taconic speeding ticket. Contacted Mr. Bruno and several other attorneys a few days later. Mr. Bruno's partner Josh Mitzman explained everything thoroughly, told me what I needed to do, gave me a notion of what Mr. Bruno would be doing and offered to do it all for a very reasonable fee, including t...wo trips to the town of Milan. Turned 4 potential points into none and even got a lower fine than I'd be led to expect followed by a prompt refund check for the excess. Perfect service.
