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!

Highly recommend Mr. Palumbo

Mr Palumbo resolved a difficult alleged second DUI in my favor by providing the court evidence that demonstrated that the field sobriety test was not conducted in a manner which took into consideration my physical limitations. The prosecutor and judge concurred and my only NJ violation was not obser...ving a red light. In addition Mr. Palumbo maintained consistent communication with me and assured me that the NJ violations were not consistent with NJ law.

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, immediate...ly 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.

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. Pa...lumbo 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.

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.
