I highly recommend Attorney John Caffrey. He helped me get a traffic ticket violation taken care of without having to make the 12-hour drive back to New York to handle it myself. He made the whole process much easier and saved me a lot of time, stress, and travel. I really appreciate his help and professionalism. If you need a lawyer to handle a traffic violation, I would definitely recommend giving him a call!

John Caffrey represented me in a legal proceeding recently and I must say he was completely professional, very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He answered all my questions (and I had a lot of them!) He was kind and compassionate and understood that I was nervous about my case. He put my mind at ease. He was well- respected in the court and was successful with my case. I am very satisfied! I highly recommend the Law Office of John Caffrey. Elizabeth T, Middle Island NY

As a CDL holder, I received 3 tickets while driving my personal vehicle, totaling 9 points. I was extremely worried because being a truck driver is my profession, and I was afraid I could lose my career. After doing some research, I found attorney John Caffrey and reached out to him. He got two of the tickets dismissed, and the remaining one was reduced to a fine. I sincerely want to thank him and his entire team for their outstanding work. I highly recommend John Caffrey to anyone dealing with traffic tickets. He truly deserves far more recognition and appreciation than he receives for the work he does! ❤️❤️❤️

This entire Law Office is absolutely amazing and extremely professional! They did everything in their power to help me and did so very quickly! I had originally spoken to another lawyer that was going to charge me at least $500 more and was talking about multiple court appearances and not getting anything resolved for months, John was able to handle it in 1 Court appearance and for much less money and it took less than two weeks! Thank you so much I owe you more than I can ever express!
