I was handed a speeding ticket in the state of NY last August 2024. I was worried that this would affect my driving record with the penalty that could be issued to me. This was potentially going to impact my means to travel for work (for me and my wife's) while further negatively affecting my family's already difficult financial situation. I needed legal help so I searched online and found Atty. Kleinbaum's contact information. I couldn't be more grateful for him representing on my behalf. The $350 retainer was well worth it! He and his team is super experienced, very knowledgeable with the process, transparent with all the information, and there was always prompt communication throughout the handling of my case. I want to personally thank Atty. Kleinbaum and his team who did a phenomenal job in helping me find resolution on the matter. From what may have turned into 6 points to my license, it was significantly reduced to a 2-point non-speeding "disobeyed traffic control device" violation and a $193 fine. To everyone who may need legal assistance/representation, don't hesitate to reach out to him! Highly Recommended! read more

James Kleinbaum Attorney At Law - Criminal Defense Law Near Me - Chatham, New York

I received 3 bad tickets all at once from a young state trooper, who seemed very upset and emotional during the stop. I gave James all the details, sent him a check and he was able to get all 3 tickets dismissed! Could not have turned out better. Would highly recommend for any sort of traffic ticket that you don't feel comfortable handling on your own. read more

Professional and effective. Attorney Kleinbaum's office staff are responsive. Attorney Kleinbaum is excellent. Highly recommended.

I heard good things about Kleinbaum. That he was tough and scrappy which is exactly what I needed for my issue with the town. He started out fine, but then lost interest, didn't return calls or emails, didn't say he could not handle--just disappeared. It seems he specializes in traffic tickets and from reviews on here, is good at it. But best to look elsewhere for other issues. read more

I got a speeding ticket in Albany NY that would have added 6 points to my license. Thankfully, James went to court for me and got the charge reduced to a 2-point non-speeding "disobeyed traffic control device" violation ($243 fine). The $350 retainer was well worth it! read more

Always amazing at handling court! Super experienced and excellent at what he does best!

I highly recommend him - my mother was fired from her job due to a speeding tkt and he went and fought for her - James did a great job getting rid of all the points and I'm super thankful read more

I got nabbed driving through a small town in upstate NY. The first lawyer I contacted told me this town's court was very tough, that they hated him, that I had already received a "roadside reduction", AND he was charging double what I paid Mr. Kleinbaum. I was sure I was toast. But at half the price, Mr. Fine-bomb here blew that ticket to smithereens and got it reduced down to a parking violation. This guys works magic, highly recommend. read more

James and his team are the best! Trust me, he will try his best to fight your case without charging additional fee. He is a very good human being and sympathetic and supportive with your specific situation. He gave me a second chance. Thank you! read more

James is wonderful and not only helpful to his clients but his colleagues!

I was very impressed with Mr. Kleinbaum. He gave amazing results. I would most certainly recommend him for Criminal court.

I highly recommend Attorney Kleinbaum. He helped our family during a crisis in a professional and efficient manner with a very satisfactory outcome. read more

I would highly recommend James Kleinbaum. I got a speeding ticket on my way home from a weekend trip in upstate ny. Apparently there is a known speed trap along the parkway. I didn't know. A trooper pulled us over and gave me a ticket with 6 points!!! 12 points would have suspended my NY driver license! James did a great job getting rid of all the points. Highly recommend!!! read more

I had the opposite experience as Julie K. James didn't assure me of anything (and I don't know any lawyer in today's society ever would give assurances) but over delivered. I was looking at a four point infraction and James came through with no points and $175 fine. Works for me. If I am in the same situation again I will certainly give James a call. read more

Two two-point moving violations down to one manageable fine, and I didn't have to appear in court. Professional, responsive, and got it done. High recommendation! read more

This man has gotten me out of many jams. He really cares about his clients!! He the best traffic lawyer that I've dealt with. Unfortunately, I've dealt with a few less than stellar attorneys. read more

Do yourself a favor and do NOT use Attorney Kleinbaum. He charged $300 for a speeding ticket that should have been plead down to a "driving with unsafe tires" out of the mouth of the state trooper who stopped us. But instead he did absolutely nothing. We still got 2 points and a $193 fine. He made assurances that he could handle this easily. The only reason we had to hire a lawyer was that we are from Florida and could not appear. He also has not returned emails asking what and why??? The only reason he got any stars is that you have to give at least one. Shame on him!! read more
