Before contacting Mr. Medows, I was skeptical about even trying to fight my ticket, especially after reading that it's nearly impossible to win in Staten Island. I had never received a speeding ticket before, so I was completely bummed to find out I got one in the toughest district to beat them. I reached out to three different law offices to understand their experience and approach. The first one felt like a "lawyer factory" with an 800 number. They couldn't tell me who would actually represent me, and although they claimed a 90% win rate, they admitted they had no specific data on traffic ticket success in Staten Island. Mr. Medows was the second lawyer I called and I immediately appreciated how direct, honest, and purposeful he was. He didn't sugarcoat how hard it is to win in that district, and he didn't waste my time with vague promises. I also researched his reviews and saw a consistent pattern: even in cases he didn't win, he helped clients save money and time, sometimes delaying tickets for up to three years. The third lawyer I called was a former prosecutor who confirmed how tough that judge is but also couldn't provide a success rate for the area. I'm so grateful I did my homework before spending money and I couldn't be happier with my choice in hiring Mr. Medows. My case was officially beat today and I'm one of the lucky ones! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, MR. JAMES MEDOWS!

Bottom Line: I got caught using my cell phone twice between a 90 day period 3 years ago during COVID. Yes, terrible luck! Anyhow, after doing some research and understanding the repercussion of getting 2 tickets which equals 10 points against my license, I did my homework and found James Meadows. I came across James Meadows through Yelp and Google. No referral, no "I got a guy" through a buddy, simply old school research and I found James and I believed in him. After paying $750 (I think the price has slightly increased since 2021) to represent me on 2 traffic tickets = Result is he beat 1 ticket with a "Not Guilty" verdict in Spring 2023 and he beat the second ticket with a "Case Dismissed" in Summer 2024. Hiring James Meadows was worth every penny for someone who lives in NYC. I hope I don't get a traffic ticket again but if I do, "In James Meadows, I Trust". Thank you and good luck to all those who look for James's service.

Another ticket, another reduction! From Speeding to Littering :) As with any court case, there is no 100% guarantee. People leaving bad reviews don't realize that they already committed an infraction and are now expecting an automatic dismissal of the case. They must understand that it does not always work out that way, but Mr Medow's team sure tries their best!

Amazing experience using James and his office. The communication and response with James and his team couldnt have been any better, which helped me to remain at ease throughout my court process. I was given a ticket/ summons to appear in court for speeding which is 6 points off the license. James took care of the entire process, he showed up to court for me on the hearing days, he kept me in the loop during every update and at the end I was found not guilty and no points or fines were given to me. James took so much stress away from me by handling this case and I did not have to worry about court dates interfering with my daily life which I am so grateful for. I am claiming James as my lawyer forever and I highly suggest everyone else do as well. He is honestly great. Thank you James!

Let me just start by saying: I do not ever write reviews. I am so impressed that I feel compelled to. I am so thankful I came across James Medows, Esq. and his team. I'm from NYC and my Hamptons ticket was taken care of with ease - they answered my inquiry right away and took note of all of my questions. I appreciated the communication and focus surrounding my ticket. We got the outcome we were hoping for! I have already recommended his services to family and friends. Thank you!

I was facing a license suspension at a hearing that was scheduled for Tuesday, 12/5. After some consideration on Sunday, 12/3, I decided to hire an attorney. I found James Medows by doing a simple Yelp search for "best traffic ticket attorneys." He responded on Sunday, walked me through the process and his fee in a very transparent and direct way. He attended the hearing on my behalf and achieved a "not guilty" verdict. My license in still in tact, no additional points and a lot of relief. James is knowledgeable, responsive and on point. I highly recommend him for your next traffic court hearing. Thank you, James.

My son received a speeding ticket soon after the speed limit was reduced on Hylan Blvd in Staten Island. Worried about the possibility of points, I hired attorney James Medows. I did a lot of research and was impressed with the reviews. I also read that it is very difficult to win cases in the Staten Island TVB, which has the highest conviction rate in NYC. Attorney James Medows was upfront and kept me informed at each step of the process and at each adjournment. Several days ago, I was informed that my son was found not guilty. I am extremely happy with the results and, most importantly, with his honesty upfront that Staten Island TVB can be difficult to win a case (it's win or lose - no plea bargaining). Had we lost the case, I would have been disappointed, but I would still recommend James Medows due to his honesty (no false promises) and his professionalism (providing prompt updates regarding the case). I would absolutely hire him again.

Had a 6 point speeding ticket get reduced to a O point parking ticket. James is a magician. I appreciated that he was straight to the point and was easily available to speak to. Highly recommend! If I ever have an ticket again in the future, I'll gladly use again!

hired James for 3 tickets and he was successful in 2/3 which is amazing! I love that his office is extremely communicative & he makes no claims other than he will try his best and is often successful. I appreciate that he makes no false guarantees. The other great thing is that his office takes care of EVERYTHING and keeps you informed of all postponements, upcoming appearances and outcomes. I would absolutely hire James again (but hope I don't get pulled over and don't have to!)

Although we were unable to win my case (due to factors out of our control), James Medows is exactly what you want in a lawyer. His professionalism, response time, and work ethic is top tier. He makes himself available at any time and explains everything. I hope I won't need his services in the future but if I do, he's the guy I will call and will definitely refer him to friends and family.

Traffic laws are unfair and if you don't hire an attorney, you will have to pay. At least you have a fighting chance to mitigate the penalty. James Meadows did just that for me. Unfairly I got pulled over untangling my IPOD at a red light. The officer knew it was unfair as I was not using my phone but the written law as is gives you 100% liability. While you pay in legal fees, the damage in points didn't occur. HIRE JAMES MEADOWS, he will minimize the damage!

Mr. Medows was able to get my 8 point speeding ticket dismissed , the way he dealt with the situation was like a chess game. He's very strategic and will think out every move. He was always easy to reach , and would notify me as soon as there were any changes to my case. I've had bad experiences with other lawyers on Avvo with TVB cases, but I'm very grateful that Mr. Medows was able to deliver. He saved me from a lot of stress, and saved me money in the long run.

James Meadows and his office exemplify true professionalism from the moment he picks up the phone to the moment your case gets dismissed. He shows up to everything so you don't have to. Points can negatively affect your insurance rates for a number of years after being assigned not to mention the fines. James Meadows handles every case majestically and always tries his best. He is worth it every dollar! First and last call you ever need to make.
