The motorist gave the following account: " Attorney J John Sebastian helped me out of a difficult position and I am grateful for his knowledge and guidance and will always use a hands free device in the future .."
Attorney J John Sebastian stated "distracted driving has become a very serious charge in NY State that can have dramatic effects on your ability to maintain a drivers license. It is important to consult with an experienced traffic attorney if you are so charged.."
