Best attorney in Upstate NY

Making this short and simple: I had over 15 traffic infractions/violations for driving without a license, speeding and among other serious infractions. Needless to say , Ralph took care of this all for me and I ended up just paying fines for the traffic tickets - Also , I'm a licensed driver now! ... Thanks a lot Ralph for your service , I would recommend anyone who gets in trouble with the law to first contact Ralph Habib.

Great lawyer and great team

I unfortunately got 2 tickets at 2 different counties in the upper NY state after my flight was cancelled due to snow storm in the Winter. Ralph and his team helped me out with reduced charges and fines after a few months. Ralph is an expert on traffic tickets. He answered my questions and proposed... the defense strategies in the phone. His team even worked in the holiday to evaluate my cases. They followed up at every stages professionally and responded to my questions promptly. According to my personal experience, I highly recommend Ralph if you have any traffic tickets in the NY state.

Recommend this lawyer

I got a speeding ticket on I-86 and the only way to deal with the court was through mail (which wouldn't work for me because I was in transition, lived in a different state, and the court wasn't responding to my voice mails in a timely manner). I contacted this law firm based on their google reviews,... and my experience has been similar - Mr. Habib listened to what had happened, told me how my case would go, the fees associated and then things went exactly like that. No hassles, issues or hidden fees. (His paralegal/secretary also always responded to my emails very promptly - much appreciated). I hope not to get any further speeding tickets, but if I were in legal trouble in which they could assist, I would hire them again. I do recommend this lawyer. Mr. Habib - Just FYI, I matched to UB and will be moving to Buffalo, NY :)

Results

I was facing a large fine and points against my driving record after a bad speeding ticket. Many lawyers I talked to said the best I could expect was a reduced moving violation with one or two points against my record. Ralph Habib negotiated a plea to a non-moving equipment violation - no points and ...substantially reduced fine. Excellent job.

Corland NY moving violation for my 89 year old father resolved very favarably

Azria & Bruffett provided excellent representation for my 89-year old father who was charged with two tickets in Cortland, NY. For a very affordable fee, they were able to obtain dismissal of the moving violation resulting in a very small fine and court costs. I live in another state so this was es...pecially convenient for me to help my dad and they saved me a lot of time. We spoke with an attorney and a paralegal (Monica) guided my dad and I through the remainder of the process. The firm responded to all of my questions promptly. Highly recommended.
