Better outcome than I could have imagined
I was charged with a violation in Williamsville, NY, in 2013. The case was in Amherst Town Court. I never had to appear in court. My charge was reduced to a parking ticket with an unconditional discharge. I did not have to pay a fine. Everything was taken care of quick and easy!
