Not Every Device Counts: What People v. Ingber Means for "Texting" Tickets

Seth Azria is a gentleman and an honest man! I called to hire him for a speeding ticket, my daughter got and he told me I can do it myself and save the money! Hard to find people of integrity, like him these days and it is truly a breath of fresh air!!!

Seth is the most stand up attorney I never worked with. I called Seth this summer after a traffic accident that I was considered at fault for by the responding officer. I was looking to hire representation to help me present my perspective. Seth gave me free advice over the phone that resulted in my tickets being dropped all together. Given that traffic litigation is literally Seth’s livelihood, I found this to be an incredibly high integrity gesture. God forbid, if I ever need a traffic attorney in New York again, I will be calling Seth directly. Thank you, Sir.
