Can anyone recommend a good traffic attorney in Seattle? I got caught in a speed trap last weekend, 61 in a 40, $206, and am very worried about my conservative insurance company and clean record.

You might try one of the following.

Mitch Greene 206.760.9822
John Eltringham 206.650.6560
Jeannie Mucklestone 206.623.3343 www.mucklestone.com See also a Seattle Times article about her at http://community.seattletimes.nwsour...lug=tickets02e - this is from 2006 by the way.

I used John Eltringham back in 2006/2007 on a Reckless Driving ticket and was satisfied with the results (knocked down to a Negligent Driving Class 2 ticket/$250 fine). I tried calling him just recently about a speeding ticket I got on I-5, but he never returned my call. So I'm not sure if he's extremely busy or what. You can PM me if you want more specifics on his work for me.

Interestingly, Jeannie Mucklestone works in Medina, the small but affluent town where Bill Gates lives. I wonder if there's a connection with that, since Bill is a long time Porsche driver and enjoys his speed...

Thanks for the recommendations. I've heard a lot of good things about Mitch Greene speedinginseattle.com... he got complete dismissals for a friend of mine on both reckless driving and speeding tickets. He's also recommended on other car forums. His fee is only $300, and he refunds you $250 if he's not successful.

Though I don't have direct experience with Mitch Greene, I've also heard good things about him.

Good luck with your case!

Instead of starting a new thread, is anyone familiar with one on Long Island?? Riverhead town to be exact?

i'll pm your info to my attorney. he's quite good as well.

Sorry to threadjack, but did you get nailed right on the entrance to the LIE? (By the outlets and Splish Splash) I've been on the wrong end of that laser gun before. Good luck.

I have used Mitch Green a few times, okay maybe more than a few times He is good.... when he shows up that is. Worth a shot

Yup, that is the place!! I've been out there a few times and they continue to leave a trooper on the eastbound side right when you pop over a hill and try to jockey over to get off of the highway. I was nabbed for 77 in a 55 and I was just accelerating around someone in the slow lane so that I could get off at the exit for the outlets. The guy just comes up, gives me a ticket and walks away. Not a word out of his mouth. Kinda rude if you ask me as I said "Have a nice day" to him and got nothing in return.

Try here.

It seems you're already set, but if you're still looking, and you have an attorney for other purposes, you can ask him to kindly put a call into the presiding judge and ask for a hypothetical referal, or have him flip through his bar directory.

John's a little slow to return calls - but in court he works well. He took care of me recently on a 81 in a 60 - wasn't even trying to speed, but caught a LIDAR trap near MSFT. Was completely dismissed after some work by John.

I've heard good things about Jeannie as well.

Jeannie, well she's a Genie. Used her 5 times over the past 3 years for speeding. All dismissed.
