Mr. Azria was able to get my 8 points ticket down to 0 for "Parking/No standing Ticket" Mr. Azria is highly professional and handles everything for you. Before hiring his services, I spoke with Mr. Azria on the phone. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained all the factors I never thought about, which play a role in fighting to lower the ticket. I'm ecstatic about the phenomenal job Mr. Azria and his office did for me. I will 1000% recommend him. Thank you!!

Excellent working with Seth...Seth assisted us with navigating the court system in NY state.

I highly recommend Seth to anyone who receives a speeding ticket in NY.
