I would've put more stars if possible but unfortunately I'm limited to only 5, Mr. Portnoy blew my expectations out of the water, he took on my case and reduced my speeding ticket down a considerably large amount from 27 miles over to just 9 over. No insurance hits, no license suspension. If you need a proper and outstanding attorney then you gotta go with Douglas E. Portnoy! As long as you comply with what he needs you to do, he will make sure to get the job done for you! 10/10 Attorney, double thumbs up!

Mr. Portnoy was amazing. I received a speeding violation for 75 in a 55 and he was able to reduce my violation to an improper equipment. After my ticket I received many ads from other attorney’s, however I chose Mr. Portnoy after looking up attorneys and reading his reviews. His track record for positive outcomes of court cases made choosing him the obvious choice and it was definitely the right choice. I am thankful for his representation and the ease of the whole process. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a traffic attorney.

Mr. Portnoy was able to get my case dismissed. NC stated that I was driving without a license even though I lived and was licensed in another state. He worked in a timely manner and always replied to my message when I emailed him. I am thankful that he was able to communicate using technology because of my work schedule. I did not have to take anytime off work to resolve this matter. Thank you again and I highly recommend Mr. Portnoy!

Happy with the firm on my traffic ticket. He was able to get a resolution that worked for me. Would definitely recommend!

I must give them a 5 star rating. All the process went flawlessly and they managed to significantly reduce my ticket with no impact in my insurance.
Thanks for your great work!

I spoke with Doug Monday, 01/06/2020 and today, Wednesday, 01/08/2020 he advised me that he was able to get my "DWLR" (Driving While License Revoked) from 2011 dismissed and I will have no license points & no insurance points. I can get my license back on Friday 01/10/2020.

I have been trying to handle this case for a long time but have lived out of the country and out of the state making it complicated. Doug took care of my case and at a very reasonable cost in a prompt in professional manner.

I called 2 other law firms and both had ridiculous fees and policies. Call Doug and know you are in good hands!

I contacted Douglas through the chat menu on his website. He was referred to me by a good friend. Douglas replied quickly to my questions and made the process seamless. His prices were less than the other attorneys I contacted and it was great that I could chat with him without having to leave a message with a receptionist and wait for a call-back.. The whole process of sending him my driving record and citation and also the payment took only one day. Everything went though in court as he stated it would. He even sent me a link to pay the court online. I never had to leave my house and all was taken care of.
I recommend him highly

Absolutely 5 star attorney. Completely recommend if your situation falls under the scope of what he can do for you. Quite a nice gentleman and is up front about exactly what you should do/how the situation can be handled. Totally recommend!

Doug is excellent at representing your best interests! If you have a speeding ticket, don't go to anyone else! He took care of a difficult situation for my son and got the absolute best result possible! He's reasonable with cost and communicates on a continues basis, answering any questions you may have! I would certainly trust him to handled any future needs I may have for a lawyer. Thank You!

Mr. Portnoy was extremely professional and good to work with. He called us when he was getting out of the court house and was handling our traffic ticket with in hours. We work out of town on a lot. All he asked of us was to send me him our ticket and our information. We paid his reasonable fee and he took care of the ticket. He made it really easy to work with and sometimes that hard to find. We're very happy to have had to work with Mr.Portnoy and highly recommend this law firm!!

Thanks for all your help UNBELIEVABLE thank God I'll sleep a whole lot better tonight

Mr. Portnoy has done an excellent job of having my case dismissed. Highly recommend him. He was easy to work with and responsive.

I needed someone to represent me in traffic court. I got Douglas on the phone immediately and within 10 minutes he had a strategy and was ready to go. Suffice to say I won the case and was promptly notified.

I would strongly recommend his services for traffic violations

I had gotten a ticket for speeding and reckless driving , Mr Portnoy got the reckless driving dismissed and the speeding ticket reduced. No insurance or license points were added to my record. Couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer and outcome. If you guys are looking for someone who knows what they are doing please consider hiring him, he will definitely get the job done.

Mr. Portnoy did a great job handling my situation and I highly recommend his services, as he is professional and responsive. He is dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients.

Mr. Portnoy did a fantastic job getting a 19 over speeding ticket down to an improper equipment citation. Every time I reached out to ask a question, he responded faster than any other attorney that I’ve hired in the past. I would highly recommend. He is courteous, expedient, and also gets the job done when it counts. A big thank you to Mr. Portnoy for a job well done!

Doug provides very straight forward and effective work. He helped my situation tremendously and I will be forever grateful. I highly recommend his services!! Thank you Doug!

Douglas was very persistent in getting my traffic court needs met. He kept me abreast of what I needed to do. He is very supportive and reassuring and is prompt to respond to any questions you have. I highly recommend him if by chance you need an attorney to represent on your behalf for traffic court.

I’ve hired Doug for two speeding tickets. The first time he was very informative and helpful over the phone, and the second time it was all handled through a brief email. Exactly what I needed both times.

Had an oversight which led to a suspension and a DWLR charge. While I was nervous about insurance and points on my license, I was able to have all of my nerves calmed. Called and spoke directly with Mr. Portnoy and for a relatively low fee, EVERYTHING was taken care of and I didn't even have to be present in court. Thanks so much! Highly Recommend.

Since I lived near Charlotte, it would have been extremely difficult to make a court appearance in Raleigh for a ticket. One phone call and a couple of emails, Mr. Portnoy did all the grunt work for me and got a very reasonable settlement of my offense.

01/28/2020 Again was helped by Doug, this time for my own speeding citation, and again, Doug was able to achieve the desired outcome - easy, only had to make one call (to Doug, to ask him to take the case), provide him with the particulars, and pay a very reasonable fee. Return client, once again very pleased with Doug's services, and am pleased to continue highly recommending Doug for any traffic citation assistance.

Doug assisted me on behalf of my daughter, who was cited for failure to stop; from the first contact, Doug provided his professional insight into the process, gave expert guidance on what we should expect, and gave clear advice on what we needed to do in order to have the best chance of achieving our desired outcome. Throughout the time leading up to our court date, Doug continued to provide clear communication and advice. Once we had provided Doug with the documentation he needed, he represented us in traffic court, and reported that our case was successful, with the citation being dismissed. Doug's fees for his assistance in this matter were, I felt, quite reasonable, and I had a high degree of confidence throughout that, once we fulfilled all Doug told us was required of us, that our case would be successful.

If you need assistance from a professional with a traffic court case, I can highly recommend Doug Portnoy. Thanks Doug!

Great customer service

Doug is great. Does what he promises. Low stress. Hire him then just sit back and let him resolve the situation. Highly recommend him.

Mr. Portnoy is very professional and friendly. When I reached out to him, he explained all my possible options, what they entailed, and what would be best for me. Mr. Portnoy handled the case and I am very happy with the outcome. I absolutely recommend his services!

So, my teenager got a ticket... Of course I panicked! Doug immediately calmed me down and took care of everything! He is amazing! No need to look any further for legal counsel! He is, without a doubt, full service!

Doug is a great attorney he will get the job done and get your traffic ticket handled! Thanks Doug!

Contacted Douglas Portnoy concerning my traffic ticket and he was quick to respond to my questions and advised me on how to proceed. Following his instructions, the case was handled appropriately and I was complete satisfied with the results. I highly recommend his services and I'm completely satisfied with his work.

Thank You!!!

UPDATE 11/26/19: I would like to speak to the Character and Integrity of Douglas Portnoy. I contacted him concerning an issue months after he handled my case. He looked into the problem and fully explained what had happened and made it clear on how to proceed. Not only did he take time out of his schedule to review my information again, but he also refunded my fee because of an oversight. Douglas Portnoy handled the situation with class, and that is truly someone I would HIGHLY recommend and trust!!!

Mr. Portnoy did an excellent job reducing my traffic violation to a lesser infraction, and navigated all of the interstate law issues I never would have known existed. Hopefully never have to get another speeding ticket while visiting North Carolina, but I know who I will call if I do!

Easy to work with, communicated well and took care of my tickets.

Mr. Portnoy has done an excellent job of having a case dismissed and another reduced for my son. He more than delivered on his word that he would his best in our case. And the costs were very reasonable and working with him online and via text made the process convenient and efficient. I highly recommend him and his office to anyone seeking for legal assistance.

Doug was reasonably priced, and super helpful handling my wife's traffic tickets. Hands down the best experience I've had hiring an attorney to deal with traffic issues. I highly recommend him!

Doug is the best in his class! He told me exactly what my charges would be reduced to and he made it happen with almost no effort on my part! Received a return phone call within an hour of contacting him about my initial ticket inquiry. Very knowledgeable, responsive, and honest guy. You will be hard pressed to find a better traffic attorney, not even considering how ridiculously inexpensive he is. Seriously, he should be charging more for his services. I have referred all my friends, family, and even my uber driver from last night to him. You won't be disappointed!

The best around! He does exactly what he says he’s going to do and does it very well! He was easy to work with and could not have done a better job. I can’t thank him enough!

Doug did a great job in dealing with my ticket! Was very responsive and even went early to get it taken care of!

Doug represented my friends and myself in a couple traffic matters over the years. He did wonderful jobs on these. He communicated promptly and well along the way. I recommend Doug for any traffic matters in Wake County Court System.

I have traveled in Raleigh several times for the business, but unfortunately I got a ticket due to the overspeed and was told by the officer that I had to attend the court. It’s a big trouble to me because I’m the foreigner and need to leave US before the court date. I googled many lawyers and phoned them. I found Doug is very professional because he asked the background carefully and patient due to I’m not native English speaker. Some lawyers just told me the total lawyer fee even did not check my ticket, ONLY Doug double checked with the officer’s note before quote to me. I would recommend him to my friend if anyone meets the trouble. I would like to say thanks, Doug very much.

Douglas was amazing to work with. He always responding quickly to my emails. He explained things and I got a very reasonable price for his services. The outcome was great and I am very satisfied.

Mr. Portnoy was outstanding when it came to handling my speeding ticket. He took his time explaining my potential outcomes and never rushed an explanation, was easy to get ahold of, and thorough through and through.

I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in search of a transparent, honest, and well-versed attorney in North Carolina.

I had an absolutely outstanding experience with Mr. Portnoy and his legal services. I received a speeding ticket, and called Mr. Portnoy. He continued to case in order to reach a favorable outcome for myself. Everything was handled via email promptly, clearly, and concisely.

Douglas was very responsive and assisted me with my issue. I am very very pleased with the resolution to my issue. Hopefully I will not need to use him again but if I do I definitely will.

I have never had such a wonderful experience! The entire process was explained and every step worked flawlessly. Mr. Portnoy always answered each email almost instantly. He explained the
steps to take, provided examples and directed us with clear instructions. What a great lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone!

I contacted Mr Portnoy the day I received my ticket and he responded very quickly and informed me of what he could do. My ticket was for 18 mph over the speed limit and he said he could drop it to improper equipment which was unbelievable! Awesome price for his services and does exactly what he tells you he can do. Can't recommend him enough!

Doug represented my family in a couple traffic matters over the past several years. On both cases he patiently explained what is possible, what he can do to negotiate the best resolution. He communicated promptly and well along the way. I recommend Doug for any traffic matters in Wake County Court System.

Great service. I would highly recommed Douglas Portnoy. He helped us get PJC on the Passing an Emergency Vehicle Case and dismissed the
Failure to Heed Siren case.

I had a speeding ticket recently and requested suggestions for an attorney on FB. Doug Portnoy was highly recommended. Everything was handled seamlessly and he was able to get my ticket reduced to improper equipment. Very affordable and his response time is excellent. Felt very relieved that he was taking care of this for me. I would definitely recommend Doug Portnoy!

He work for u!!

Precise, efficient and effective! Reduced to non moving so my insurance is not affected. This gentleman gets it done!

Douglas handled my son’s ticket. He was quick to respond and explained everything step by step. Payment was easy by pay pal and his costs are more than reasonable. I would highly recommend his services.

Douglas represented me in traffic court and did an excellent job; he was prompt, professional and did exactly what he said he would.

Update 7/10/2019
I found myself in need of Douglas' services once again, this year. Prompt, attentive, with perfect, sound advice. Not only did Douglas handle all issue with court the first time, he went back a second time to get everything ironed out, after the court folks failed to file properly.

First class!!

Excellent services at a great price. Did precisely what he said he would do, explained what would happen, and followed up promptly when everything was taken care of.

Accepts Paypal (which is awesome), and gave me a direct link to handle the court costs, making everything an easy process.

Hopefully never need his services again BUT I'd definitely go back to him immediately if I ever do, and will recommend him to anyone I can!

Fast services, good advice.

Doug is knowledgeable, helpful, obviously experienced and fair as well. I would highly recommend his services!

I'm very grateful to Mr. Portnoy for his assistance, and I highly recommend him. He had to go to court numerous times to continue a complicated case involving a young friend of mine, and was eventually able to have all the charges dismissed. He is a very able and caring lawyer.

Very direct explain on how to handle the ticket and prices are excellent

Mr. Portnoy was awesome to work with! He was very informative and worked quickly and efficiently to resolve my case. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is experiencing a complicated traffic ticket.

Best attorney in the area. Does not over charge for traffic tickets and gets things done quickly. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!

Got my ticket reduced, took on my case with ease I had no worries because everything was explained to me prior to the court date! Great Attorney!

Highly recommend Douglas. He was easy to work with and responsive. I needed help with a speeding ticket since I was from another state and only visiting NC for a little bit. He attended court for me and helped me get it settled. Prices are also very competitive.

Efficient and straight to the point. Mr. Portnoy will tell you exactly what he can do for you and get it done. He reduced our charge and saved us a whole lot of stress and money.
I cannot recommend him enough.

I called Douglas about a traffic ticket. He picked up the phone himself (impressive) and explained to me the options. I paid his fee online through PayPal. Then there was about a month wait time until court date. Douglas went to court and took care of it and then sent me email with link to pay court fees and provided court case outcome. I did not have to go to court myself. Overall, I'm very satisfied with his service, Douglas was professional and did as promised. I'm saving his contact for future if I need it, and would recommend him to others. On a side note, prior to contacting Douglas, I researched traffic attorneys in my area, he was in the top 2 on my list of attorneys I reviewed. I ultimately decided to go with him because he has many years of experience in traffic court, his fee is very reasonable and he has excellent reviews from clients online. Thank you for your help Douglas and keep up the good work.

Douglas Portnoy represented my husband in court and was able to reduce his charge. Mr. Portnoy was very helpful in answering questions and educating us about the procedures in court.

Had my first speeding ticket, it was giving me so much anxiety until I found him, he helped me through my ticket and it did not affect my insurance or license honestly the Go-To for all traffic cases in Raleigh !!

I would like to thank Doug for helping me in getting rid of my traffic ticket. I appreciate Doug for all the insights he provided before taking up my case. Throughout the process he was open in communication and helped in answering any question I had. I would really recommend Doug and he will what he had promised.

Very professional and very responsive in helping me with my speeding ticket would definitely recommend to use Douglas and his firm!

Absolutely the best experience, straight to the point and doesn't waste your time. He gets the job done!!

Doug is fantastic, and really went to bat for me. His fee was extremely reasonable, and he responded to every text, every email, and every question I asked quickly and courteously. When the day came, he went to court on my behalf, and was able to get the best outcome I could have possibly hoped for. We all hope that we'll never need an attorney, but if I ever do again, Doug will be the man I call. If you need some help with the legal system, he is the guy you want on your side.

After searching through many different law firms and receiving dozens of advertisements for legal services, I came across the website for Douglas Portnoy. I read dozens of reviews about this man and his law firm and so many people gave him a five star rating for his prompt, affordable service in helping alleviate traffic violations. I decided to give him a call. The reviews about him are correct. He handled my case and I was able to relax knowing I would not receive points on my license or an insurance increase due to improper equipment. He is courteous and prompt as well as affordable. Thank you Mr. Portnoy for your help!

Thank you so much Douglas! I am very grateful for lawyers out there that are reliable, efficient, and able to help whenever possible. He was very responsive to any emails sent or any questions my husband had and made this entire situation very easy. My husband was going 82 in a 55 in Pittsboro and was facing license suspension and a very hefty ticket. My husband had a prior ticket in GA as well. Douglas was able to was able reduce his charge to an exceeding safe speed which is a minor moving violation that will not cause a license suspension and only had to pay a $50 ticket plus court costs. Very grateful!! Hopefully I will not have to seek help again but would go to Douglas if need be. THANK YOU!

Doug is fantastic, super easy to work with - takes the sweat right out of whatever social interaction you might have had with blue lights in your rear view mirror. Knows the law inside and out, and knows how to optimize the best outcome for your situation.

Awsome lawyer PERIOD

Wow, him handling that speeding ticket was a big relief, LIKE FRESH AIR OR BIG GLASS OF WATER IS TO THE BODY. I was very thankful. You want to keep Dougs number

if you get a ticket, this is the man you want on your side. He will go to bat for you, all for a very reasonable price

First call was short, informative, and productive. every step was clear and easy. Paypal payment, and online communication meant no phone tag. I was very happy to pay a fair price for a job well done.
My speeding ticket was reduced to improper equipment and neither my license or my insurance was affected. Mr. Portnoy will definitely get my endorsement with family and friends. Thank you!

Highly recommend Mr. Portnoy! Fantastic lawyer

Douglas was extremely helpful in getting my ticket resolved. This involved working with an insurance company lawyer and the county prosecutor under a strict time frame. I have put Douglas on my list to use it the future and to recommend to all of my associates. He did an excellent job at a fair price.

I highly recommend Mr. Portnoy's law office. He is super efficient at taking care of traffic related issues and prompt in responding questions. His service fee is very reasonable and if you are looking for an experienced and caring attorney with positive results just call Mr. Portnoy's office.

Douglas was very responsive and gave full attention in regards to handling my speeding ticket! Very personable and reasonable in pricing as well! Thanks again :)

Douglas provided an outstanding service and representation. Such a simple and great experience.

Simply outstanding service! It took me no more than 5 minutes on the phone with Douglas to talk about by speeding ticket/citation, and he assured me that he could get that reduced to a lesser violation that would not affect my points nor have my insurer be notified (which end up costing way more in insurance premium down the line). Then all I had to do was wait for his email after the court date to proceed with the payment of the court costs. He ended up reducing my citation just as he said he would.

Attorney Portnoy is very prompt, professional and attentive. I would recommend his legal services without hesitation.

I’m absolutely glad that I chose Douglas and his firm to defend my case. I have no complaints and no regrets. He’s great to work with and will do whatever it takes to help you!!

Great, personable attorney. Fantastic communication. Easy to work with. Great job! Thank you so much for your service.

I retained Mr. Portnoy for Traffic Citation. He was able to get the case dismissed. Thank You for the Outstanding Representation. I would highly recommend him for any legal help!! Thank You.

I highly recommend Dauglas. He explained the whole procedure very clearly to me. He was thorough and answered all my questions very promptly.

Great service! He communicates extremely well and handles things in a timely manner.

Very easy to work with, got my case continued since the claim hadn't been closed, then was able to get it dismissed.

Doug was great to work with!

Great price for the area and was able to quickly get my ticket dismissed. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Douglas was very efficient and his fee was reasonable. I would highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend. He got my ticket reduced and was very fair priced. He also made it easy for me to pay my court costs. He was incredibly helpful!

He is amazing! He got my ticket dismissed immediately and his prices are very reasonable!

Douglas was very helpful in explaining and answering all my questions on my speeding ticket process. This was my very first (hopefully last) speeding ticket. Douglas made it very easy for me and took care of everything without any hassle or worries. Trustworthy, professional and very easy to work with.

Douglas was simply the best.

We hired him to represent my wife in a case in Orange County and he handled EVERYTHING. He even got the ticket reduced so that it did not affect her insurance or license!

Absolutely seamless and a pleasure to work with.

Highly recommend. - Don't play around call Douglas.
