Professional and Excellent service

Garrett was excellent from my initial consultation call to the end of my court date. He provided me with a roadmap on how to put myself in the best position for a positive outcome in my traffic ticket. Adhere to the directions he lays out for you. At my court date, Garrett used everything that I h...ad completed at his direction for no points and a clean driving record! I highly recommend Garrett.

Traffic summons dismissed

I was facing a summons resulting from a near fatal traffic incident where mine was the only vehicle involved. The advice on how to handle the summons and explaining the mechanics of the case as well as communication throughout the process was invaluable. The outcome has brought significant peace of ...mind.

The Lawyer you want on your side

I contacted Nichols&Green after receiving multiple traffic violations, received a total of 4 violations: Reckless Driving, operating unlicensed vehicle, operating uninsured vehicle, and driving with no license. I called for a consultation and went through with hiring Nichols&Green to represent me. Th...ey immediately gave me instructions on what I needed to do on my end, once I had that completed Mr. Green took care of the rest he was able to have the court agree to dismiss the operating unlicensed vehicle, operating uninsured vehicle, and driving with no license charges and reduce my Reckless Driving charge to a Speeding (74/55) conviction. I would just like to thank Mr. Garrett Green for fighting for me and making sure I was taken care of. Excellent work by an excellent attorney.

International With Traffic Violation

I cannot thank the team enough. When I was issued this traffic violation on my visit to the US, I was actually terrified, never have I been to court in my life. Was originally directed to court appointed attorneys, who were charging a lot more and could not guarantee if I would go to prison for speed...ing! but as soo as I called Garrett Green, I knew I was in safe hands. I wasn't able to attend court as I did not live in US and this was just as the world went into lockdown. Garrett was professional, knew how to handle the case, I could rest easy across the pond. I Thank him and the team for his hard work and service.

Extremely helpful!

I hired Garret Green to represent me with a reckless speeding charge two months prior to my court hearing. Mr.Green was very honest with me from the beginning and advised me of what I should be doing in the meantime. Finally my court date arrived and after some heavy negotiations; Mr.Green was able t...o get me off with a simple speeding ticket and a $250 fine. I am extremely satisfied with his work and the results of this case. Thanks again Mr. Green!
