Great lawyer!

I got charge with possession of under 50g of marijuana in New Jersey and he got it dismissed. He made sure he's there on my court date and made sure everything was good. Excellent lawyer and cares about his clients.

The Best Criminal Defense Lawyer Money Can Buy

I Hired Todd Palumbo For A Possession Charge. When I Went To Todd For A Consultation, He Told Me That He Would Explore All The Possibe Routes That Would Lead To A Dismissal. When I Hired Him To Represent Me, He Stood By My Side On All Court Dates And Did As He Said By Exploring All Routes. He Was Abl...e To Get My Case Dismissed, In Addition To Several Moving Violations And Parking Tickets That I Had Accumulated During That Time. I Would Recommend Todd Palumbo To Anyone That Is Seeking An Experienced Lawyer To Represent Them in Court.

Man Of His Word, Did Exactly As He Said He Would.

I met Mr. Palumbo a little over a year ago. I was in a very tight situation that needed immediate attention with my drivers license. Mr. Palumbo answered my phone call and email in a timely fashion and set up a date to meet within the next 48 hrs. After meeting I felt very confident that he would... take care of everything, within the week my case was handled and put to rest. He was very proffesional, knowledgeable and polite throughout the whole process. From what I have witnessed Mr. Palumbo is a well respected man throughout many jurisdictions. He has excellent communication skills and let know exactly what was going on at all times with very descriptive details. I would highly reccomand Todd David Palumbo to anybody, his office is very easy to get to and his staff is extremly friendly and helpful also. A very positive and pleasent experience.

Well Done!!

My experience with Todd was quiet an adventure...He stuck with me to the end!!! He assured me from the beginning justice would be served, and it absolutely was!!!!!!! He's very attentive and makes you feel comfortable. He treats you with respect. The work he does is definitely in your best interest.... His knowledge of the legal system surpassed my expectations, he was thorough and explained everything to me throughout my legal process. During my process which involved the Superior Court of Union County and Linden municipal court, Todd was diligent and patient he was always available, the court had many rescheduled dates and times but Todd was always professional and made accommodations to be present. There were instances where I wanted to just give up due to the frustrations of dealing with the court, however Todd was always adamant about protecting my rights and innocence hence serving true justice. I am so grateful that he worked with me and for me, not just to get paid.

"I endorse this lawyer.Todd and I handled a very serious case together in which our respective clients were facing more than 20 years respectively due to their prior record. As a result of a very vigorous motion to suppress, we convinced the trial court to suppress the guns, drugs and other contraband seized by NJ State Police officials .The NJ Attorney General's Office later decided not to appeal the trial judge's decision and our clients got their lives back.Todd was just masterful with his cross-examination of the State's multiple witnesses and I look forward to our next case together."
