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.

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!

Q1: Can I really go to jail for a speeding ticket in Maryland?
Yes — under the 2025 law, driving 30+ mph over the limit or driving recklessly can result in jail time. Call 🥊 (443) 629-7278 immediately.
Q2: Are lawyers overcharging for reckless driving now?
Yes. Many firms raised their fees dramatically due to the new law. Maryland’s Ticket Fighter remains affordable and transparent with flat fees.

Ben challenges the officer’s evidence, negotiates with prosecutors, fights for PBJ, and works to reduce charges to non-jailable offenses.

It can. But many cases can be negotiated to reduced charges that avoid points, jail, and long-term record damage.
Q5: Can Ben appear in court without me?
Yes — in many cases, especially for out-of-state drivers or those with work restrictions.
