Very professional and highly recommended!
I would highly recommend Mr. Palumbo to anyone who needs legal representation. I had received two traffic violations in Union County. He was able to have the more serious one dismissed and the other reduced to a no points violation. His many years of legal experience combined with personal relationships in Courts often result in successful outcomes.

Best Defense Lawyer in Town!
I had a very serious traffic violation case in Cranford and was lucky to be represented by Mr. Palumbo. He was very patience and assuring from the get go and gradually got my case dismissed with his superior legal experience. If you need a defense lawyer this is your guy! A lady from the court house this morning where my case was dismissed was so impressed by Mr. Palumbo that she followed me outside to get Mr. Palumbo’s number to represent her in an upcoming case. Mr. Palumbo is the best and I’m so grateful to him!

Anthony Palumbo: Masterful Defense Attorney
I have never needed a criminal attorney before and I had been terrified and struck with inaction until close to my court date in Roselle. Luckily I found Mr. Palumbo on an internet search in nearby Cranford. My boyfriend and myself were initially greeted by an adorable little white doggy, immediately asuaging some of my fear. The office and personnel were friendly and kind. Anthony made us feel at ease and assured us that he had many years of experience with the Roselle court. I found his fee very reasonable and placed the fate of my heretofore good name in his hands. I was not dissapointed. Upon his entrance to the courtroom I really felt his commanding presence and his no nonsense demeanor. He was obviously a known presence to the adjudicators as we were whisked swiftly to a short meeting with a tough prosecutor. Shortly thereafter the judge called my name and my case was dismissed without much more ado. All in all my experience was pretty wonderful despite the circumstances. I would trust Anthony Palumbo with my life.

Straight Shooter, Honest and Delivers Results
We called Anthony on a Saturday morning based on his reviews and location. He answered his phone and we had a meeting with him same day. My boyfriend had a previous DWI, needless to say, we were pretty freaked out. Anthony Palumbo gave us a fair price and let us know what to expect. He didn’t make false promises and always returned our calls. Anthony delivered and above and beyond anything we expected. i Called 2 other lawyers and had appointments with them on Monday. We felt so strongly about our meeting, we hired him on the spot!

Professional approach and efficiency
I was very lucky I had Mr. Palumbo resolving my legal issue. His knowledge, experience, professionalism, but above all, considered and calm approach helped me go through my difficulties before and during court hearing. I was also impressed of Mr. Palumbo's secretary Ms. Diane DiGiorgio who was always very helpful in a professional manner. I highly recommend Mr. Palumbo. He is a great lawyer and person.

One of the Best and Most Affordable
Mr. Palumbo is one of the most professional and experienced criminal defense attorneys in NJ. I was facing several minor marijuana charges and started to become deeply concerned about how this could potentially affect my future. This was a first time offense and I was more than pleased to have Mr. Palumbo take care of my case. Needless to say, Mr. Palumbo was somehow able to get all of my misdemeanor marijuana offense charges dismissed!! I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with any minor drug charges! C.P.

Outstanding outcome!
I retained Mr. Anthony Palumbo on 2 traffic summons, which could have been disastrous in nature concerning my drivers license, etc. Due to Mr. Palumbo's hard work and diligence, the outcome of my case was beyond favorable and such a relief. He did exactly what he said he would, and I would retain him again in the future if ever needed.

Solved my issue promptly and affordably
15 years ago I was facing a criminal battery. Mr Palumbo explained the situation to me clearly, laid out the process and choices, and ultimately helped me to achieve a conditional discharge. The process was fast, affordable, and easy. Without Mr Palumbo’s services I could have had a very difficult life ahead of me. I would recommend to anyone with criminal legal issues.

Attorney Anthony N. Palumbo outstanding performance
Attorney Palumbo is very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and is very attentive to all details. Worth indeed every dollar.

Worth every dime
Tony Palumbo represented me at the Linden municipal court for what was my second DWI. Facing both steep financial penalties and a 2yr drivers loss of license, Tony utilized his vast experience and knowledge to guide me through the long and intricate court process. At the end he successfully obtained a full dismissal of my violations. I feel truly fortunate to have chosen the right man for the job.

Straight to the point.
Mr. Palumbo is straight to the point. I needed to know the likelihood of charges being slapped against me. So I consulted with Anthony to see where i stand on possibility of citation. His advice were realistic (rather than telling you what you wish to hear) and very helpful and explained what I need to do should anything comes out of it. Additionally, his many years of experience in the field and thousands of similar cases, gave me a lot of ease of mind.
