Mohamed M

I had a criminal reckless along with a few other traffic violations that I thought I would have no way of beating. I spoke with a few lawyers and none made me feel as assured and comfortable as John Mucklestone. As well none had given me a price that I could afford. Thankfully I found him and hired h...im, and now cleared of everything with nothing on my record. God willing I won’t need him again but if in any trouble in the future I know who to call.

Money Well Spent!

Our Company hired John to handle a weigh station ticket for one of our truck drivers; John was quick to respond, and the ticket was dismissed in a timely manner. The whole process was easy, and we are happy to keep the ticket off of our driver's record. Thank you, John!

Speeding ticket

John has lots of expertise in the courtroom , he works hard for his clients. Having a CDL it is very important to keep a clean record. His fee was very reasonable , worth every penny , very good communication, easy to work with. Don't argue with the police, just contact John.

John is a Pro

I have used John and referred John to friends, family and work colleagues since the early 90's, after a neighbor referred him to me when I got a speeding ticket. He has always been effective and efficient and I have never gotten any negative feedback. On one occasion I referred a neighbor to John... who had a DUI arrest. Obviously, there is much more interaction required with your attorney on such a serious offence. Bottom line, my neighbor was very pleased with the ultimate outcome of that case and the communication John provided throughout the process.
