Client Reviews
“As a lawyer I know how important it is to manage a client’s expectations, and this is a skill which Joe Cifarelli has honed to an outstanding degree. He was knowledgeable and realistic, and did not attempt to oversell either his considerable legal abilities or a potential outcome. As a result of his representation, I had my points and potential fine reduced by more than I had anticipated, and he made the whole process easy from the start. There is no one I would recommend more highly–he gives lawyers a GOOD name!” J.M., NY 2016
“Hi Joe, Thank you again for all of your help. Getting a ticket four hours away from home was nerve-wracking to say the least. Googling the court and having your name pop up was the best thing that could have happened. Retaining you to represent me made the whole process so easy. Most importantly, it gave me peace of mind. Thank you for always returning emails promptly and keeping me up to date. I really appreciate your service.” C.G., NY, 2016
“”Mr. Cifarelli, The very first name I selected from Google on my search for a Lawyer was yours, after my Cousin told me that I should get a Lawyer to fight my ticket. Not knowing anything about you I must say that I’m very thankful for your service, since I wasn’t looking for that much. All I wanted was the points off my License. To get the Points off and the ticket reduced is way, way more that I had expected. Again I want to say “thank you!” E.L., NY, 2015
“My daughter received a speeding ticket returning from college, and Joe (or attorney Cifarelli, whatever you prefer) obtained a great result by having it reduced to a non-moving violation. Joe was also extremely responsive and pleasant to deal with. So glad I found his website and used his services to help give my daughter peace of mind.” (NR, Mich, 2015)
“I just wanted to say thank you very much for helping me and guiding me through the process. I appreciate the time you put in helping me. You are a great lawyer. I will definitely recommend you to people who get a ticket in the area. Thank you.” M.H., NY, 2015
“thank you for everything and you are my number 1 person I will call for any traffic issue I ever have in your neck of the woods.” B.C., NY 2015
“Joe, Thank you so much for taking the time to represent me in this case. I was very nervous and anxious going into it as it was my very first ticket ever! You have made the process go so smooth that I cannot express enough gratitude thank you again for helping me and hopefully you will never hear from me again! Haha” M.C., NY 2015
“Joe, I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for all the work you did to resolve my speeding ticket. You got a great outcome for me, with no stress or inconvenience on my part. Your follow-through was much appreciated. I will recommend you highly to anyone in a similar predicament.” NG, NY 2014
“Dear Joe, I want to thank you for resolving my recent traffic violation. As a New Jersey resident I dreaded the thought of having to appear in court 100+ miles from my home. Not to mention having points appear on my driving record.
You managed this issue without my having to physically appear in court and succeeded in reducing my summons to a zero-point parking violation.
I cannot begin to tell you what a relief this was. You far exceeded my most conservative expectations.
I would highly recommend you to anyone who has a traffic matter to deal with, particularly those who reside far from your jurisdiction.
Thanks Again,”
P.R.V., NJ 2014

“Joe, I want to thank you for guiding me through the process of traffic court in Claverack, with your excellent professionalism, empathy and legal skill. I would recommend your services to anyone. Getting a speeding ticket on the Taconic one hundred and twenty miles from home, on a limited income was extremely stressful, but you responded to every question and every call with a calming influence and reasurring demenor. Since the court time is in the evening, my having to appear would have been problematic, since Claverack is half way between my daughter’s home and an equal distance to mine, almost 120 miles each way, I would probably have had to stay overnight, and lose a day or two work, but you solved that stressful problem for me, and got an excellent result for me.

I wanted to take a few moments to thank you once again for the help that you provided to us in dealing with the traffic violation that we received in New York state during our recent vacation.

After speaking with you initially by phone and explaining the situation to you, I felt confident that you would handle the matter to the best of your ability. After making the decision to retain you as our representative, we felt immediately relieved and were very happy with the results of your efforts. We would highly recommend you to anyone who has a traffic matter to deal with, especially if they are from outside of the area. Thanks Again” M.H., CA 2013
