He charges a really fair price if you call around you will see. And got results. He knows what he is doing and spoke to me from his experience from the beginning telling me the probable outcomes. I was able to land with a really good outcome. Really thankful for an honest exchange. Recommend.

Paul G. Tuths is an amazing representative, very realistic and he doesn't promise anything that he cannot fulfill. Your search for a Lawyer ends here. Highly recommended for Long Island speeding tickets. Thank You. Detailed Info: continue reading ....( if you are interested ) I was pulled over by Highway patrol, officer Gonzales notified me that I was going 85miles/h, and the restriction was 55. As that said I showed camera footage to the officer that I was actually driving 48miles/h 30min before he pulled me over. That info didn't affect the officer's decision to write me a ticket 6 points on record and around $400 fine. He added <(* just show your dashcam footage to a judge and he will dismiss the ticket *)>. If you find a Lawyer that will go to trial and fight the ticket it will cost 2-3k at least ( to prove justice, is shown to be expensive ). Bottom-line is to hire a representative from that specific area where you got the ticket and sign all the documents so he can plead guilty on your behalf on a scheduled pretrial hearing. No evidence is necessary, even if you are right. The cost of removing 6points and not paying the full amount of the fine is $500 approximately, a lot less than going on trial. One more time to mention .... Look no further Paul G Tuths is the best.

I had contacted him for a small case without any referral, worrying if it might not be a big enough work for him. But he returned my call within a couple hours even though he seemed to be overloaded. Since then, he explained to me exactly what to expect, what I have to prepare, and the timeline. He was always prompt to respond to my emails or to confirm the receipt of them, which I liked a lot. He also did not over promise the result. I was told I would need to pay some fine, but he made my case dismissed without the penalty. I found he was experienced, great communicator, sincere and hardworking attorney. Thank you so much!

Paul and his firm did exactly what they advertised. They were very responsive, very courteous, and handled my claim exactly as a proposed. This was a Suffolk county traffic and parking violations (speeding) which he reduced to a nonmoving violation. Paul was also very straightforward with me on whether I could represent myself in this court. Apparently representing yourself is not that difficult although after talking with him and friends of mine in the court system, I definitely got the feeling having representation is a more surefire way to go?and more importantly, with more consistent results. Whether you choose this law firm or someone else is up to you, however, I would not hesitate to hire Paul again as he was honest, straightforward, and completely transparent. He did exactly what he laid out and had great communication. Thanks for the work!

Paul made it really straightforward and easy for me to get cleared of 2 speeding tickets and 1 utility ticket (tint). At first i was worried about the price due to the fact that I originally called Tuths to clear up one ticket that I had just recieved along with the tint, But I explained to paul how I have had a previous traffic infraction earlier in the year which i pled not guilty to, and he managed to contact the court and comeup with a one singular court date for all charges. The best part was that I didn?t even have to attend, He took care of business. The pricing was really great honestly, very reasonable compared for what my infractions were. Really easy process and the main thing was Instead of receiving the penalty of up to 9 points and having to pay, Paul managed to reduce 0 points, no speeding infractions or tint, Just a singular parking ticket.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
