Zelli & Cahill, P.C.

I haven't had a driver's license for over 10 years. I live in NYC so I had gotten used to using public transportation but, in 2020, since the pandemic hit the city hard, I became very uncomfortable with riding buses and trains. I decided that it was time for me to clear my driving record. I paid off all of my old tickets and learned that because it had been so long since my suspension that I would have to go through the entire process to get my license back...permit...5 hour prep course and road test. GRRRRRRR. It took months to get an online appointment but, I finally took my test for a learner's permit, passed and was prepared to move on to the next step. However, the clerk at the DMV told me that they could not issue my permit until I cleared up an old summons from way back in 2008 which I had allegedly received in Suffolk County. Because of the pandemic, I was having an extremely difficult time getting in contact with the courts. I decided to reach out to Zelli & Cahill to see if they could help. I spoke with Kristen and she told me that she could definitely help. She was very experienced and answered all of my questions about what I needed to do which put my mind at ease. She got me a court date faster than I had even dared hope for. She represented me in the courts since it would be very difficult for me to get all the way out to Suffolk from where I live. I paid my fines to cleared the fees I owed the courts. Even after the clerk at the Suffolk courthouse made a mistake and didn't properly lift the suspension, Kristen went the very next day and straightened it out as soon as I let her know that something was still wrong. I'm grateful for all of their help and after over ten years, I'm finally back on the road.

Emailed them and they responded asking for more information on the ticket I received. I responded and never got a response. I waited a month and reached out again with my original email while adding more information. They responded asking a question about the ticket. I answered back in an email and again they never got back to me. I even tried calling between the first and second emails I sent and the assistant in the office answered. I told her about the urgency of my issue and she told me she'd have the lawyer call me back and nothing! Just terrible.

Melissa is incredibly attentive and committed to getting the best possible outcome for her clients. She's been both my divorce attorney and real estate attorney and her knowledge and ability never ceases to amaze me. In my humble opinion, she's a shining example of a young up and coming legal professional!!!

Kristen is absolutely amazing. Great personal attention and always goes above and beyond. These guys get the job done and prices are always fair. Highly recommend.

I was facing a list of tickets for a vehicle I didn't own. Kristen Cahill took my file and resolved it with the courts within 24 hours. I can't express enough my gratitude for their advocacy. Saved me thousands of dollars and countless hours.
