The Best Traffic Attorney in Town!

I cannot recommend Melanie Horwitz enough. She is truly the best traffic attorney out there. From the moment I started working with her, I saw how reliable and dedicated she is. Melanie is always available, responds right away, and has a phenomenal track record. She’s won every case I’ve brought to h...er. My friend recommended Melanie after she fought multiple speeding tickets for him, and since then, I’ve used her for my own speeding tickets and even when my son had a crash. Every time, she fought and dismissed the cases. One of the most amazing things she did was for a friend who had a judgment from over 20 years ago a suspended license due to a crash. Melanie dove deep into the case, even tracking down a retired officer, and brought a $30,000 judgment down to just $6,000. She saved him so much, and he was finally able to take care of it and pay right away. Beyond her skill, her personality is just as incredible. She’s always positive, approachable, and so helpful. And her rates are more than fair. If you need any help with a citation, accident, or traffic violation, Melanie Horwitz is absolutely the best....hands down! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing Results, Stress-Free Process

I can’t recommend Melanie enough. I originally had a ticket for going 25 mph over the limit, and she was able to get it completely dismissed. Another time, I was pulled over for an address change issue and a speeding ticket for going 20 mph over, and once again she handled everything smoothly and pro...fessionally. Melanie is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly knows what she’s doing. She made the entire process stress-free and delivered great results both times. If you’re looking for a lawyer who actually gets things done, she’s amazing.

Excellent Traffic Attorney

Melanie has helped me and a couple of my relatives with our traffic tickets and so far has gotten them all dismissed so we couldn't be happier with the results! I highly recommend her. I'm a civil and estate planning attorney and I used to help my family by representing them in traffic matters but no...w that I know Melanie and how great she is at handling these matters, she's the one to call.

exceeded expectations

Today I received the best news I possibly could. My pretty heavy traffic ticket was dismissed!!! Melanie Horowitz exceeded expectations and fought for a better outcome than I thought was possible! And I felt like I was treated like a friend and not just another case. Plus, no doubt, she is extreme...ly professional. That’s what makes people choose Melanie above any others that they had spoken with.... Thank you, Melanie for all you’ve done for me! You are a GREAT LAWYER hands down. Julia F, July 24, 2019

The PERFECT choice!!

I called Ms Horowitz seeking assistance with a difficult traffic ticket problem. You see, my son drives a probably-too-powerful car and has, shall we say, an ill-advised fondness for testing its limits. He'd just earned his third ticket in less than 18 months, and to make matters worse, he's under 25... y.o. He was in danger of losing his license and/or his insurance, and we needed serious help. Ms. Horowitz was immediately responsive to our needs. She took my call straightaway and arranged to meet with us within days. I was more than impressed with her knowledge in the specific area of serious traffic violations. She explained in detail what we could expect of the process and what we could expect from her. She was confident she could help my son, yet at the same time she was frank about what we were up against. I wanted an attorney who would be straight with my son, an attorney who would not sugar-coat the situation simply to land the case. We hired her immediately. Throughout the experience, Ms Horowitz kept us fully informed. She developed a strategy that demonstrated she clearly "knows her way around" the Broward traffic court system, and she executed that strategy - which, to me, creatively addressed my son's specific situation - and yes, she was successful in obtaining a very positive outcome. The result she attained for my son was actually MORE favorable than we'd dared to hope for! I attribute this to several factors: 1) Ms Horowitz's thorough preparation, 2) Her considerable ourtroom skills, and 3) Most particularly to the fact that she was consistently frank with us, preparing us for every possible outcome for my son's case. We were, therefore, thrilled when she achieved a complete dismissal. Not only that, her fee was beyond reasonable. I absolutely recommend Melanie Horowitz.
