Business Details
I, Joseph P. Cifarelli, II, am a dedicated New York State traffic attorney with over 25 years of experience in vehicle and traffic law. After graduating from Albany Law School in 1998 and being admitted to practice in 1999, I discovered my passion for negotiating traffic cases. My first case involved reducing a speeding ticket to a parking violation, and since then, I have successfully handled hundreds of cases, saving clients from points, fines, and insurance hikes. I pride myself on my reputation as a skilled negotiator, working directly with judges, clerks, and prosecutors to achieve fair resolutions. My practice focuses exclusively on New York State vehicle and traffic law, including unlawful possession of marihuana charges.

I offer personalized service, answering calls directly and handling cases myself without outsourcing. My local expertise spans multiple counties, including Albany, Schenectady, Columbia, Montgomery, and Saratoga, where I have appeared in courts for decades. Clients trust me for my responsiveness, affordability, and deep knowledge of traffic law. Military personnel and war veterans receive special discounts. I am committed to providing transparent, client-centered legal support, ensuring you understand the evolving NYS DMV rules and how they impact your case. My goal is to make the legal process as smooth and stress-free as possible for every client.
