Posted by Doug | March 08, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Friendly and prompt...

I had gotten a speeding ticket. Called around for quotes and Mr. Garofalo was by far, the most reasonable, with everyone else wanting $500 or more to retain their services. He gave me a quick consult over the phone, said I could see him the same day in less than an hour. I spoke and the in person... consultation was painless. Said he knew the local court system well and could have things handled next Tuesday (from Friday). I paid him his fee and he contacted me on Wednesday and had gotten my speeding ticket reduced with no points. Simple, meet to sign some final paperwork and he'd follow up in a month. I would highly recommend, he's polite and professional without being unapproachable.

A great lawyer and extremely efficient!

Mr Garofalo is an extremely efficient and knowledgable professional. He sorted out a speeding violation for me and made the process go very smoothly, which put me at ease. He is very reasonable and knows his stuff. I highly recommend working with him.

Saratoga Springs attorney

Mr. Garofalo was helpful and informed about my case. He met with me on several occasions and represented me in a virtual appearance during the pandemic, bringing a satisfactory result to the case.

Greg made time to meet with me on short notice. He explained the laws that pertain to my specific situation as well as what my legal options were. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Garofalo for representation and thanks to his advice I don't expect to require them.

Fantastic Attorney

Personal injury lawyer | Oct 19

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."
