Best Lawyer in The Universe

Attorney Michael J Palumbo represented my son in Traffic Court. He is the most knowledgeable and responsive attorney I've ever met. He gave us clear instructions on what documents to provide and how to proceed. He kept us informed every step of the way and quickly responded to all our e-mail inquirie...s. He got my son a dismissal of a charge that could have resulted in very severe consequences.

Outstanding job, exceeds expectations

I hired Michael in June of 2010 - to defend the 3 moving violation tickets I was given in Brooklyn, NY (totaling 10 points if found guilty on all three). Even though I did feel that I have not deserved these tickets, I knew that I had practically no chance to get all three of them dismissed, and hope...d that Michael can get one or two (in the best case scenario) tickets dismissed. I have not even hoped to get all three tickets dismissed - so unlikely that scenario seemed (especially - knowing how hard it is to defend against any moving violation ticket in Brooklyn court). I was amazed (and could not even believe at first) when I received communication from Michael - reporting that he was able to get all three tickets dismissed, leaving me with no points! It took Michael a little more than a year (Jun.2010 - Aug.2011) to close this case - but this is ONLY because of slowness of Brooklyn court and long intervals between scheduled court appearances (first was scheduled for Jan.2011, second - for Aug.2011). Michael had done this - without me ever going to Brooklyn (or anywhere at all for that matter), not even to meet with him in person. He took care of everything - going to court (2 times), applying for case restoration after it was considered in default when Michael decided NOT to proceed with the defense on a first trial (due to unfavorable circumstances), etc. Basically, Michael took care of all paperwork and "leg work" - all for just $600! All I had to do - is to get in contact with Michael and explain my side of the story, submit paperwork ('Retainer Agreement' and 'Authorization to Appear' - which was handled via email !) and send the check. All of this - the ease and flexibility of retaining Michael's services, his professionalism and expertise (and the "return on investment") - make Michael exceptionally good attorney to deal with. Compared to every other attorney I had ever dealt with in a past - Michael is by far the best! I strongly recommend anyone who needs an attorney (specifically - moving violations attorney) - to consider using Michael's services.

6 Point Speeding Violation

Had a 6 point speeding violation for doing 95 in a 65 mph zone. Got it reduced to a two point non-speeding violation.

Traffic Violation Representation - Excellent

I received several tickets in New York State due to an unpaid fine in NYC from several years ago, which I thought I had paid. Michael was great to work with. He took care of everything, and I didn't have to travel to New York State to appear in court. I had a heavy speeding violation and driving... with a suspended license. He went back and forth with the prosecutor for several rounds to get me the best possible deal. I ended up with no points, a reasonable fine, and no misdemeanor charge for the driving w/suspended license charge. I couldn't have asked for a better result. Mike kept me informed throughout the case, and the result was better than I could have ever expected. If I ever get popped in NY again, I know who I'm calling, he is the best.
