Posted by travis | April 02, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

always check a lawyers specialty!

This was the first time I've ever lost a speeding ticket hearing. She failed miserably in getting a simple 10 over speeding infraction dismissed. I had to call her numerous times to get updates on my case. It was either " I forgot" or "I was super busy".That was her standard E-mail or reply to my ...inquiry. I do not recommend her for traffic offenses. Save yourself the money and headaches.

Superior Service And Results!

I had the honor of having Laura Mancuso represent me on a driving while suspending charge, she worked closely with me and kept me well informed every step of the way. I ended up getting a second DWS charge while court was pending, she got that taken care of with the original at no extra charge. Shoul...d the need arise I will be more than happy to utilize her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone seeking help with traffic related offenses.

Fantastic Lawyer

Laura Mancuso helped my husband and son who both recieved tickets within weeks of each other. She was completely professional, always kept us informed and went above and beyond to close the cases favorably. Very creative thinker. I would definitely recommend Laura if you get into a legal bind.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
