Have a traffic Infraction? Call James Mucklestone before you do anything else!

We first contacted James Mucklestone several years ago when I had gotten a radar speeding ticket. He put up a great fight and the ticket was dismissed. I was impressed. I had three teenage boys at the time and regretfully admit that we have used him several times over the years. Every single ticket w...as dismissed. Through our real estate business, we are in contact with many clients and work with many attorneys in many specialized fields. We have on several occasions recommended Mr. Mucklestone to others for traffic infractions, clearly his specialty. Got a ticket? Call James Mucklestone before you do anything else!

Speeding Ticket

I gave Mr. Mucklestone a ticket to try and beat for me and he had it handled in a few days. A friedn of mine told me to call him as he got a DUI taken care of as well... Thank you James

Not worth the money

I Hired James Mucklestone to handle my DUI case. I was offered a reduction during the initial phase of the case, before I even hired Mr. Mucklestone. When I first met with him, he sounded exceptionally confident that with his knowledge of the system he would be able to negotiate a lower charge befo...re we'd even have to go to trial. He also agreed to handle the DOL side of the case. On the DOL side, he passed the case off to some other attorney, who only made one argument, which didn't do anything to dissuade them from suspending my license. On the court side, he showed up late both times, and after not making any real attempts to negotiate the case lower, told me i should just take the initial offer I was given. During the entire process, he would take days to get back to me with answers or information, and was just not very informative. all this for $5,000.00. I would have been better off never having hired an attorney at all. I wouldn't hire this guy to perform the simple task of doing my dishes, let alone performing legal tasks, if they have any bearing on your life.

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. :)

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!

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."
