CiceroRated 5 out of 5.

I am very impressed! Got a serious speeding ticket on I-81 — 6 points hanging over my head. Cardinale handled everything remotely, showed up in court for me, and got it reduced to zero points. Final court fine was $113. Incredible result I couldn't imagine. Best money I ever spent on a service.

I cannot thank Mr. Cardinale and Ms. Patricia enough for their exceptional legal services. I was facing two Move Over Law tickets in New York, which was incredibly stressful, but they handled everything with absolute perfection. The communication was seamless, and they were extremely thorough throughout the entire process. Thanks to their expertise, both tickets were completely dismissed with no records left and no fines to pay. If you are looking for a law firm that gets results, I highly recommend them. They truly made a difficult situation feel easy.

This firm did a great job getting a ticket dismissed that I thought was unjust. I was recommended here by a friend who had them handle a larger traffic matter. 10/10 would use again!

I was in a very bad situation, was driving 110 where speed limit was 65, just so you know it's 11 points and probability of license suspension. Michael is a man of his words, he was on top of my case answering my phone calls and texts immediately, he removed all my points and saved my license. If G-d forbid you in situation like I was this is the lawyer you want to work with! Thank you a lot Michael!

I got a ticket for the move over law. Im from Ontario, Canada and didn't want to receive any points on my Ontario liscence. I spoke with a few law firms and some told me I had little to no chances in getting my ticket reduced. This firm seemed the most promising and also had the best price. They were able to get my ticket reduced to a zero point violation. Im so glad I chose them!

I received a traffic ticket with property damage 😢 I contacted the law firm.

I am a CDL driver and was facing a property damage ticket that could have seriously hurt my career. Attorney Cardinale and his team (especially Patricia) were professional, fast, and communicative. They negotiated my ticket down to a zero-point parking violation. If you are a driver who needs to protect your license, this is the firm to call. Highly recommended!

I have been dealing with a speeding ticket for Town of Marathon since May 2020. I moved to FL in June 2020, and in June 2025, I moved to SC. Cardinale and DelVecchio was able to finally get this resolved for without any points. The pretrial fee was only $300 to handle it. A week later, I was able to switch my license over to SC finally. They got me a good deal with 0 points. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in need of help with any traffic infractions in the Cortland and Syracuse areas.

My daughter was issued a speeding ticket on the way back to college. A guilty plea would have been costly. We were fortunate to hire Cardinale & Delvecchio Law. We found the price reasonable considering the need and Michael was a pleasure. This was the first time we ever hired a lawyer for a traffic violation. We are so glad to have chosen this law firm and was resolved with zero points and a small fine. All done via phone and online and it was a wonderful experience.

We received a speeding ticket on our way to Canada passing through Cortland. We contacted different law offices and they were charging more and were only offering to drop 2 points.

Michael Cardinale at Cardinale & Delvecchio Law Firm won my case and got my out of state speeding ticket lowered so that my license wouldn't be suspended in my state. I found Michael through Google reviews and his reviews speak for themselves. He was immediately responsive to my inquiry and communicated clearly. He kept me up-to-date with what was going on with my case and worked very quickly on it, which I appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Michael Cardinale at Cardinale & Delvecchio Law Firm.

My experience with Michal Cardinale nothing short of 5 stars. From the time I reached out to him explaining my situation he immediately got back to me. He said this is what I expect to happen… but there is no guarantee and in case it doesn't I will refund you your retainer. Shortly thereafter exactly what he said transpired. My speeding ticket turned into a summons w no points. I highly recommend Michael Cardinale he is consummate professional, honest and experienced you will never find another attorney as such.

Mr. Michael Cardinale represented me with a bankruptcy a decade ago. Recently I had a different issue and contacted him to see if he could help and he has gone above and beyond for me the last week. He has helped me with an issue that really had nothing to do with my bankruptcy and he could've just looked the other way but he stayed with me and helped me through it and I will forever be grateful to him. I 100% recommend him and his law office if you're in need of representation. You won't be disappointed and you definitely won't find better service elsewhere. Thank you again for your help Mr. Cardinale!!

Everyone was personable, knowledgeable, and always quick to answer any questions I had. They kept me informed throughout the process and made what could have been a very overwhelming situation feel manageable. I highly recommend them to anyone needing bankruptcy assistance. I also want to mention they are affordable. When going through potential bankruptcy you're already tight financially and they made it less stressful and accepted payments until paid in full.
