Got tickets? Get James!

Mr. Mucklestone got my speeding ticket dismissed easily & his good advice has really helped to keep me out of trouble, when I've been pulled over by police officers, ever since. I've recommended him to my friends & family, most of whom have gotten similar positive results with his services & expertis...e. I will gladly seek his council in the future if, God-forbid, I should ever need legal help again. :)

He worked a miracle. No way I should have gotten off, but he came through.

I have used him several times, and so have my family. Each time he has successfully won the case for us. In my situation, I told the cop I would see him in court (not so smart a thing to do!!) Anyway, James got the ticket removed. Moral of story--keep your mouth shut, don't speed, and if yo...u get a ticket call James.

He has won every case for me!

I have used James several times over the years and have been very pleased with his professionalism, courtesy, truthfulness in what to expect , positive attitude and of course results. He has won every case for me. I would recommend him to anyone.

Two tickets dismissed with ease!

James Mucklestone has represented me on two speeding tickets. He immediately put me at ease with his friendly manner and professional confidence. For the first case, I went to court to see him in action. James handled my case so well! He got the ticket dismissed quickly and I was amazed. A year or ...so later I got another ticket and that time I just sent the ticket as he instructed me and happily paid his fee. He called to tell me he also got that one dismissed. I am a happy repeat client! Call James when you need him!

Difficult to get closure

Hired him based on a referral for a ticket my son got in November. I just keep getting mail on new court dates and no update from James and he is slow to call back when I leave a message. Fax number is not posted on website to fax new court dates.

Speeding and traffic ticket lawyer | Feb 15

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. He's the best lawyer I've ever seen in Traffic Court. In my opinion, many judges see Contested Hearings of Traffic Infractions as less significant than Criminal Traffic charges like DUI and Reckless Driving (which James also excels at handling). But many citizens' only exposure to the court system is a Traffic hearing. But they often don't realize the ramifications of Infractions on their insurance, certain jobs, even suspension of their license if they accumulate a certain number of traffic infractions in a short period of time. Even though infractions can't land a driver in jail, fines continue to increase because the various governments need the revenue. James' work in traffic cases is important because he is one of the few lawyers who thwart what seems to be an increasing number of tickets issued. His work usually saves his clients as much or more money than the fine they would otherwise owe. And you don't miss work if you have your lawyer appear."
