Posted by Mario | October 28, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

traffic related ticket

Gregory helped a family member of mine with a ticket for failing to yield to a non functioning traffic device. He met with us and explained everything that concerned the matter and answered every question we had until we thoroughly understood what he was going to do for us. He was able to get the tic...ket dismissed. By the way he was always available by phone and always called back. His prices are more than fair and never came up with any extra costs or fees. I personally recommend him and give him a 5 star rating.

Traffic Violation Case

Awesome service!

Greg was extremely professional right from the start. He called me back quickly and provides great service at a reasonable cost. As an out of state customer, it was great that Greg could handle everything without me needing to appear in court. I would definitely have Greg help me again if I have anot...her issue in NY State.

DWI Reduced to DWAI

Gregory was extremely helpful and always available throughout the entire process. He made himself available to meet with me on a Sunday afternoon on short notice to go over the charges with me. The charges being faced were DWI with BAC of 0.14 along with 3 or 4 traffic violations. Gregory got the ...DWI reduced to a DWAI along with merging all the traffic violations into the DWAI charge. He was extremely professional and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone facing DWI charges. Gregory's services are very affordable in comparison to anyone else around.

Down to Earth Honest attorney

I hired Mr. Garofalo strictly based on his reviews and I could not have made a better choice. Being a Canadian resident and dealing with US courts may sometimes pose a challenge and incur mounting legal bills. Mr. Garofalo was very inexpensive and he properly explained the details of how our case co...uld go and he was on the money. He negotiated two violations that would cost my son 8 demerit points and risk losing his licence down to two parking tickets and no points lost. We handled everything over the phone and he saved me lots of travelling expenses. If you are in need of a great lawyer do not hesitate to use Mr. Garofalo especially if you are an out of town offender and need legal representation.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I'm a practicing attorney for over 24 years. I've known Greg for about 34 years. We overlapped with each other as undergraduates at the University of Rochester and as law students at Pace University School of Law. We lived together for a few years as fraternity brothers, and while going through law school and practicing law early in our careers. He has always been well liked and very friendly and helpful to everyone. Since he opened his own practice more than 25 years ago, I've seen Greg dedicate himself to helping the injured and vulnerable in personal injury and DUI/DWI cases, and I've seen how hard he works every day fighting to help his clients get what they deserve. I highly recommend Greg for anyone who needs a good lawyer to go to bat for them."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
