He got my following too closely (accident involved) ticket reduced to a no point 1114A violation. All I had to do is pay a fine. In most cases such a reduction is unheard of and many other attorneys I contacted weren't confident in their ability to have this reduced to no points. After sending him a picture of my ticket he said he will take it from here. So convenient, assured be everything would be okay and work out, and it did.

Mr. Mafrici was who I chose after being hit with a speeding ticket in New York. My ticket was for 88 in a 65 (6 point ticket) and this would’ve given me a large fine and sharp insurance increases. Mr. Mafrici was prompt, professional, and informative throughout the entire process and within a few weeks, he had the ticket reduced to a 0 point parking ticket. His rates are a bargain for how streamlined and painless the process was, and I can’t recommend him enough. If you’re facing a similar situation then go with Thomas Mafrici, you won’t regret it.

I could not be more thrilled with how my bankruptcy went. I was nervous from the start , but Michael and the fabulous staff immediately made me feel comfortable! NO question was wrong and everything easily explained. He walked me through every step , and was easily reached if I had a thought or concern. Any time of day- any day!
I would certainly hire Michael again for ANY need I had.
Thanks for everything Michael!

I had her as my lawyer and I've honestly never met someone as soon nice and caring for someone. I had a good amount of speeding tickets and I never thought I would have my license again or for a very long time at least. As soon as I stepped away and sat down from the judging after finding out what my consequences were, she came over to me and said that she wanted to help me get through this. I didn't think I would get away so blessed, I would recommend her to absolutely anything that she can work with. (Hope nothing again but lol) thank you Ashley.

My wife and I have owned several properties and operated several businesses in the Cicero area and have tried several different attorneys over the past 15 years. We have had the best results and best overall experience with this firm. Robert D. George has always represented us in a professional and competent manner along with an attention to detail. If we need an attorney in the future, we want this firm representing us!

Although my family member ultimately decided to hire an attorney who came recommended for a New York traffic ticket, we were highly impressed with Attorney Thomas Mafrici [Mafrici Law Office, P.C.]. Attorney Mafrici responded to our inquiry quickly, professionally, and with a detailed response over a holiday weekend. He answered specific questions and provided a reasonable quote.
