Glad you stopped by. I'm a traffic ticket lawyer in New York — this is just the friendly version of my page. The actual case work happens over at 845tickets.com.
20 years on the throne. 1,500+ five-star reviews. A second-gen defense attorney who picked traffic law on purpose — and is happy he did.
If it puts points on your license — speeding, red light, cell phone, stop sign, DWI — I've argued against it. A lot. Brooklyn's home base, but I cover courts from Manhattan all the way up to the Adirondacks.

I named him after the only fictional lawyer who was both ethical and well-dressed. He hasn't billed an hour in his life — somehow still closes more meetings than the rest of us combined.
My closet has opinions. Here are some of them — judge gently.
Speeding ticket in Ohio? Cell-phone violation in Texas? I'm building Best Traffic Lawyers USA — a 50-state network of the ticket-defense attorneys I'd actually call if it were my license. Same vibe, same standards, every state.
Still wiring it up — drop your state, I'll match you to the right person.

"Sent James the photo of my ticket, got a text back the same day, walked away with no points. Easiest part of the whole thing. The dog on Instagram is a bonus."
Same job. Same courtrooms. Slightly different vibe.
Both are excellent attorneys. Neither has a dog with an Instagram following — just saying.
Borough-by-borough guides — the courts, the corridors that get ticketed most, and what each violation actually does to your record.
Free call. No pressure. Just dial — I'll pick up or get right back to you.
