I highly recommend Mr. Wagman, he is attentive and professional! He represented me in a highly professional manner regarding a traffic case in the Catskills NY area, and he was able to persuade the Court to reduce the charges to favorable resolution. Being out of state, Mr. Wagman represented me in court without the need for me to appear in person. He was prompt in responding to my call for assistance, was always courteous, attentive and helpful. Mr. Wagman’s team does a wonderful job in keeping me on track and giving me timely feedback. My advice to anyone who needs an experienced and caring attorney with positive results is to call Mr. Wagman.

Best experience I have had with hiring a Lawyer to fight a speed ticket and Tailgating ticket. In years past, I hired an app called Off the Record (OTR) and they are crooks. James M. Wagman is the real deal and a real honest guy. James was able to get my 20+ MPH speeding Ticket and Tailgating Ticket down to just a parking ticket. That's 10 points down to 0 points and a possible Fees of $600+ down to $220. The money I paid James to fight my tickets was well worth it and I have learned my lesson never to speed again. I'm sure God had his hand in helping me, but James delivered. I would recommend James M. Wagman to any one looking to fight a ticket in update NY.

A couple of months ago, I received a speeding ticket in Upstate NY for doing 96 in 55 which could've led to a possible license suspension. Right away, I hired Zachary to take my case and all I could do was hope for the best outcome. Zachary made sure to stay in to contact with me updating me whenever something new happened regarding the case. I'm pleased to say that he did way better than I expected and worked out a deal to a no-points parking ticket with a reasonable fine. I was beyond grateful and I would highly recommend him!!

I reached out to Zach for help with a speeding ticket and was glad I did. Zach was very communicative and not pushy. His fees were reasonable and he got the speeding ticket reduced to a violation which resulted in no points. Very happy with the outcome and would recommend if something happens in upstate NY.

Zach has helped me significantly throughout my cases. Everything from tickets to general defense, he excels at what he does and has provided the best defense that I could ask for. A couple years ago I managed to get charged with 2 DUI's. Despite catching the charges pretty much back to back, he got me to walk on both of them. In addition to this, Zach was also very helpful in ensuring that I got the minimum fine for all of my tickets. 10/10 Would Recommend!

Mr. Battaglia is not in private practice and we didnt hire him but he and works for Judge Fisher in County of Greene courthouse and we had our case conferenced with him. We wanted the judge and got stuck with him but we were quite pleased with his work. He is dynamic and settled my spouse's personal injury case with the attorneys. We spoke numerous times with him going in and out of the courtroom until we came to a resolution. At first we didn't like going back and forth to let him talk to the defense but it was clear why that was necessary. the matter was settled faster than the other two judges that had it before he did! oVerall a very smart, passionate and compassionate attorney. He talks fast and sometimes harder to follow but will explain anything you ask help on. A superb asset to courts. if you have a case in greene county, ask to have your case consulted by him!!!

I was working with another attorney for two years before they eventually passed my case off to Nick. I was shocked when Nick had the case settled less than 6 months after that. He kept me well informed and gave me the best possible advisement throughout the whole process. Not only are his legal skills impressive, but Nick was also a genuinely nice person and it was a pleasure working with him. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for legal advisement.

Veronica was amazing! She answered my cold-call at 830pm on a Wednesday and walked me through a complicated process involving estate planning which I knew nothing about. She was very generous with her time and I greatly appreciate her help!

My divorce case took almost five years and was extremely difficult with the other side. Veronica and Angela's counsel certainly helped me get through it in the best way possible, even when I disagreed with some of the advice. I have arrived to the end with a better future and not bitter. That is a major accomplishment.

Mr. Cornelius represented me in the Greene County Court. I got busted with a shive and he got me off at trial. I wanted another lawyer because public defenders suck but he was good

Mr. Cornelius knows the law and he has great people skills. He went to court with me and when he showed up, it was like a movie star came. Everybody wanted to talk to him. He took control and addressed the court about our motion to dismiss. Everone sat up and took notice. You know when he is in court. A month or so later, we got a decision and won. You wouldn't know that he is a public defender.

In my opinion James Gross is the best attorney that has ever worked on my behalf for traffic infractions. I was pulled over by a state trooper and was issued a ticket. I reached out to several attorneys for representation, but was told theres nothing that can be done because of the nature of the infraction. One attorney even told me, " I can give it a shot but there's a 75% chance I will still be getting points on my license". I felt hopeless at that point, but didn't give up hope. I decided to google attorneys in the upstate NY area where I came across James Gross. Long story short, he was able to get my ticket reduced to zero point. Mr James has defy the odds in this matter, and It is no exaggeration to say that he's the best attorney that has ever represented me for traffic infractions.

James Gross was a life saver at one of the worst times in our lives. No one would believe her plea of innocence except Mr. Gross. He got 8 felony charges YES 8 felony charges completely dropped. Mr. Gross never did the minimum and really set out to prove her innocence in anyway he could. Can't recommend Mr gross enough. God bless people like him. Without him our family would have lost everything.

This attorney will call you and be very nice when he wants your case and your big upfront retainer. After he gets your money, you will never hear from him again. We have called him over 40 times since April 2009 and he has never returned one call. His secretary will also yell at you if u call the office. This attorney went to school to steel peoples money. I am now filing a complaint with the bar in ny
