    I was ticketed on interstate 81 near Cortlanville for the violation of the "move over" law. I thought about pleading guilty by mail. After reading the review of several attorneys who specialize in traffic violation cases, I decided to engage Mr. Wagman. He is courteous. His explanation is concise. Whenever I asked him about my case, he always responded within a day or two. He worked quickly. Thank for Mr. Wagman's hard work, my charge was changed to Vehicle Equipment Failure with No Points and I did not have to go to the court. The court is about 5 hours from my house by car one way.

    I would 100% recommend Mr. Wagman and his team for traffic tickets. As a Canadian who got a speeding violation in NY, going to court wasn't a feasible option. I reached out to Mr. Wagman and once all the necessary information was sent to the team, they went to work and kept me updated every step of the way. After a few weeks the 3 point speeding was violation reduced to a no point parking violation.
