Matthew Weiss graduated from Hofstra Law in 1984 and started his career as a clerk in the highest court in New York State.  After clerking for two years, he left the prestigious and highly coveted position in order to devote his time to fighting traffic tickets. The entrepreneurial side in him saw that there was a lot of opportunity in this practice area and he decided to build an entire brand around it.  From that 888 REDLIGHT, a turnkey operation and law firm that handles traffic tickets all across the state, was born.  Matt has treated his practice like a business from day one and when he is not in the office, it runs itself.  In addition to working with individuals, Matt represents corporate clients such as limo companies, taxi services, and truckers. 

Matt is also the President of the not-for-profit Entrepreneurs' Organization, the premier peer-to-peer business group in New York City and worldwide. Matt has been featured in Crains, WSJ, and interviewed on TrueNYC.  Lastly, Matt is one of our esteemed faculty members, teaching the online CLE program “How to Fight a NYC Traffic Ticket.”

Lawline.com would like to congratulate Matt for being a lawyer turned entrepreneur.
