I had an EXCELLENT experience with The Traffic Defense Firm! From the very beginning, the process was handled professionally and efficiently. Tej and Shan gave me a lot of peace of mind during what could have been a stressful situation. They were knowledgeable, responsive and took the time to explain everything clearly so I always knew what to expect. I’m extremely happy with how everything was handled.

If you need a reliable and experienced traffic defense team, I highly recommend these guys!

as a cdl driver we need our license for our career and somtime things happen that will cause you to rush. I received a speeding ticket in my personal vehical because I was running behind and was trying to make it to work on time. Unfortunately I was caught speeding. I hired Taj to represent me and he kept everything senerio open and upfront. Taj was able to get my case dismissed. I highly recommend using him for your traffic offense.

The Traffic Defense firm represented me for a traffic ticket. I am really happy with their service. They helped get my ticket severity down. They were easy to work with. I was able to discuss my case and they answered all my questions. They were humble and friendly. I spoke with another firm who tried to scare me and were condescending. Thank you Tej and team.

When my 19-year-old son forgot his court date in DuPage County, I was beyond nervous. As a mom, I didn’t know what to expect, and I was really worried about what kind of trouble he might be in. Thankfully, we contacted Mr. Shastri and his firm, and I honestly can’t thank them enough.

They were so kind, patient, and professional from the very first phone call. They explained everything clearly and never made me feel like any question was too small. They took the time to walk us through the process and made sure we understood what to expect. Their calm and respectful approach really helped ease my anxiety in such a stressful moment.

Because of their help, what could have been a much bigger issue was handled smoothly and with care. I truly hope we never need this kind of service again — but if we do, I will absolutely call them right away.

Attorney Shastri answered all my questions and was very friendly! He was very honest and pointed me a route that saves me money instead of trying to take advantage of me. I highly recommend him if you need any assistance with a traffic inquiry in the area. 😄

Tej Shastri is a wonderful lawyer! He is very helpful, punctual, and responsive. He eased my anxiety about my situation right from the first consultation/phone call. He managed to get most of my cases dismissed and one placed under supervision. He saved me from getting my license suspended or facing insurance complications. I would highly recommend him and would use his services again if needed. He is literally a lifesaver!
