Posted by anonymous | May 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Prompt, professional and concise

He arrived at the time I expected and found me. The traffic citation that forced me to appear was dismissed. He did a great job of clearly explaining what was happening throughout the entire process. My first appearance in court was simpler and less stressful than I expected thanks to his expertise....

Great attorney!

After receiving a payable traffic violation, I was unsure whether or not to fight the ticket in court or just pay the fine. Mr. Cahn advised me that paying the ticket, admitting guilt, and accruing points on my driving record could result in my car insurance going up, and advised that I take the chan...ce to go to court and fight the ticket. His advice helped save me hundreds of dollars, as well as helping to maintain my clean driving record. I am very grateful for Mr. Cahn's straightforward and individualized advice, and will certainly consult him first for any future legal problems I may encounter.

Overall, pretty satisfied

I had a charge of speeding and reckless driving. Managed to get the fine for the speeding cut in half and a probation before judgement for the reckless charge. As a result, the fine went from $1,200 down to $275 and the points went down from 11 to 6. Overall, I consider it a win.
