Washington County drivers are being hit hard by Maryland’s **October 2025 Speeding & Reckless Driving Law**, which now allows jail time for certain speeding violations—even for first-time offenders. If you were stopped on I-70, I-81, Dual Highway, or near the Hagerstown Outlets, you may be facing severe penalties.
Don’t panic—and don’t overpay.

Ben did a great job at giving clear guidance on how best to navigate the process of fighting a ticket effectively, he did a great job!Posted on Google Cheryl LorcheimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my daughter got a speeding ticket in MD, we hired Ben for his help and expertise. He explained what we needed to do in great detail and assured us that he would work hard for us. As this ticket required a court appearance, he was very accommodating with the court date as my daughter travels a lot for work. Ben was able to get the charges down from a possible jail time and points on her license, to just a fine and no points. We were very pleased with the outcome of this stressful situation and were very happy we hired Ben!Posted on Google Ali HassanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an excellent experience with Attorney Ben Ostroff and Maryland’s Ticket Fighter.

I truly couldn’t thank him enough for everything he has done for me. He is straightforward, trustworthy, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients. He is an excellent lawyer, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust!Posted on Google rtug89Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben gave me detailed instructions to provide necessary documentation to prove my case. Even with the prosecutor being tough, him and Vishnu were able to secure a victory with no points and an incredibly small fine. Prosecutor wanted 3 points and $500 bucks. I secured representation pretty close to my court date which I do not suggest but he worked with me anyway and i walked away with no points. Don’t be cheap and yourself a lawyer! Thanks!Posted on Google TysonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’d highly recommend Ben Ostroff for your Maryland traffic legal needs! He successfully reduced my very serious 5-point speeding ticket to a Probation Before Judgement.
