When No One Else Would

After calling several law offices, I was surprised by how dismissive most of them were — no one even offered an in-person consultation. That changed when I reached out to Mr. Palumbo. He was direct and honest, telling me he couldn't assess the strength of my case without hearing the full story. He in...vited me to meet in person, and I immediately felt that he genuinely cared about understanding the situation. I’m so glad I followed through — what once felt like an uphill battle turned into a winning outcome. I hired him, and he delivered. Thank you, Mr. Palumbo!

Much Gratitude for a Top Rate Attorney!

Mr. Anthony Palumbo is one of the top lawyers in the area. He’s very professional, makes good on his word, returns messages. A great experience, I highly recommend him. He got me out of a tough jam, and was able to reduce the charges which will not appear on my record and save me money, time and em...barrassment! Thank You Anthony!

Knowledgeable Attorney, is quick and informative!

As a first time defendant, having Mr. Palumbo represent me, not only made me feel more at ease, but confident that all would go in my favor. The positive results confirmed my thoughts of a genuine, knowledgeable attorney with a kind and friendly personality, but straight to the point!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
