Posted by Eyob Measho | August 23, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Outstanding Lawyer

I am an out of state driver who received a speeding ticket in NY on I90. I was pulled over for driving 75 on 55. The speed limit literally dropped from 75 to 55 and the cop was right behind the sign. i was issued speeding ticked and i was asked to appear in court or pay the fine and 4 point will be a...ssessed to my driving record. Having no point in my driving record, paying the fine was not an option for me. I contacted a few area lawyers and most of them were too pushy to have me mail IN $300 fee for their services. upon checking their online review however, it was not as squeaky clean as Nikole's. I thought to my self, i bet she charges tons of money with this kind of review. then i said, what the heck, give her a call and see what happen, won't cost me anything. I called her and left a voice message to call me back. she called promptly. after explaining my situation, she explained to me what I was facing (4 points and over $400 in fine), she assured me that if doesn't get the ticket dismissed entirely, she will do her best to get it reduced at least to a parking ticket. so long as she get the point waived, i was ready to pay the fine. after i sent her a copy of the speeding ticket, my information and fee (a lot less what the other lawyers chanrge) she told me that she will file with the court and talk to the prosecutor. she estimated a few weeks to get back to me. in teh meantime, to call her if i needed anything. after just two weeks, she emailed me with the news. she did not only reduced the speeding to a parking ticket but the fee for the parking tickets was almost laughable. i just could not believe what i saw. she did not only save myself form 4 points and higher insurance premium but also saved me a few hundreds of $$$ in legal and court fees. I will definitely recommend her to family and friends. SHE IS AN AMAZING LAWYER!!

Posted by Michael | February 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

I was on the fence as to whether I should hire an attorney or just pay fine ...

I am an out of state driver who received a speeding ticket on the NY Thruway (in an area where the posted speed limit dropped near the toll booth). I was concerned about the impact of the ticket on my driving record (points) and insurance costs. I considered simply pleading guilty and paying it to av...oid any hassle, but contacted Nikole to see if she thought she could help and understand what it might involve (as I wasn't looking to return for a court appearance). I was able to provide Nikole the details of my case via email. She promptly set forth expectations as to what she thought she might reasonably achieve on my behalf. After I hired her, I provided her with information via US Mail and she handled the matter on my behalf without the need for me to personally appear. She met my expectations by achieving a reduction in the charge (as she had originally discussed with me) to a violation with a significantly reduced fine and no points. Before selecting Nikole I spent considerable time looking online trying to understand how speeding tickets worked in New York and (honestly) to decide whether it was even worth retaining an attorney in what seemed to be a simple situation like mine. Having worked through this experience with Nikole, I strongly recommend that others in similar situations do the same and I thank her for her prompt, professional and courteous service!

Nikole is a magic worker

I called Nikole a while ago about a ticket I received. This was my first experience with her and she was rather honest and told me that based on my circumstances it would not be financially smart to hire a lawyer--imagine that a lawyer who isn't a money hungry fear monger! More recently, I received ...two tickets one in West Seneca and one in Tonawanda. I called Nikole again because I remembered how honest she was. This time I actually hired her to represent me. Nikole worked magic and made sure that the outcomes didn't mess up my driving record and insurance. I was very pleased with the outcome of these cases and how quickly she was able to resolve everything. She kept me up to date and was always available when I had a question. I recommend Nikole very highly.

Excellent Service

Received a speeding ticket in Tonawanda driving late and lost to a kids hockey game, police officer less than sympathetic. Being Canadian, I didn't know what the rules are - the ticket didn't have a fine on it??????? I called numerous lawyers, the only one that impressed me was Nikole. I met h...er in person, she answered all my questions and concerns, didn't guarantee me a win(which would have been unethical and a warning sign to me) but gave me reasonable expected outcome. I left it in her capable hands, she had the fine reduced to a parking ticket with no points.

"Nikole is an amazing attorney. She began working at my firm immediately following law school, and has proven herself to be an asset to my practice. Nikole has achieved stellar results for her clients –results that attorneys twenty years her senior have not obtained. Nikole’s meticulous research and writing skills have resulted in numerous dismissals. Moreover, Nikole has had impressive success with overcoming licensing issues for our DWI clients. In addition to being intelligent and driven, Nikole is well-liked by her clients, co-workers, colleagues, and judges. I highly recommend Nikole for criminal, traffic, and DWI matters."
