I recommend this law firm as they are very knowledgeable and professional dealing with the NY speeding traffic ticket I had been charged with. I am very pleased with the negotiations this firm had negotiated on behalf of me. Thank you!
Mr. Bruffett took care of my ticket -- reducing a 4 point ticket to 0 points (with reduced fines, as well). He and his staff were pleasant to work with and I highly recommend them.
