Posted by Liz | February 09, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Great Experience!

I recently had to use the office of Amy and her assistant Mark and let me just start off by saying they were great! I caught a horrible speeding ticket (more than 85mph) as well as a turning signal violation and was thankful enough to find this office within a 3 day period from my court date. Their h...ospitality was beyond generous and they worked quickly and efficiently within the amount of time I gave them. I am a resident of NYC and had the privilege of doing everything through email, seeing as though they took care of it all. Besides how comfortable they made me feel, they were wonderful representatives too. My ticket was knocked down TREMENDOUSLY to a two parking violation and a small court fee. I am beyond pleased with the services Amy and Mark have provided and would recommend them to anyone in the area or just passing through, getting in trouble, such as myself.

Excellent Attorney

Ms. Counter was highly professional and extremely effective in handling my traffic ticket. I was alleged to have been speeding 75 in a 55 zone in the Town of Tonawanda and she had my ticket reduced to just a parking ticket.

Posted by anonymous | January 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Foreclosure

Excellent experience!

Ms. Counter helped me to gain surplus funds resulting from a foreclosure I had gone through. She explained everything and really held my hand through the process. Going to her office was always a pleasure, and everyone was friendly and accommodating. It turned out that I had approximately $30k just s...itting in City Hall and I truly never would have known otherwise. I couldn't be happier.

Speeding Ticket Services

Not being local, I was exploring my options after getting a speeding ticket in Amherst. There is obviously no shortage of traffic attorneys in the area, so I initially put together a list of attorneys in the area and started calling each of them to figure out which one to hire. Unfortunately, many of... these calls started with someone asking me all my information and then ultimately saying that an attorney would call me back once they are available to discuss the matter - which I felt like was a waste of time and a way for them to pressure you into hiring them. When I called Amy Counter's law office, it was refreshing that she (Amy) actually picked up the phone. Amy was super helpful in answering all my questions - even really basic ones. I hired her on the spot and her law office quickly and efficiently handled everything I needed, with a court outcome that was far better than what I expected. I will continue to highly recommend her office to anybody.
