Fixed My Ticket from Out of State Accident I have a Michigan license and got into an three car accident driving in Illinois. I was at fault and got a ticket, but Illinois had me sign a bunch of paperwork that I didn't understand. I called Grabel & Associates on the weekend and Mr. Grabel answered. He put my mind at ease and made a few phones calls on the following Monday free of charge. He was able to get my ticket reduced to just a fine and no points. I highly recommend his firm!
