Got the charge of leaving the scene of an accident dismissed

I am an attorney who recently moved to New York and was wrongfully charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Not knowing the court system I did some research and came across Mr. Palumbo. The court system and defense of a traffic charge is totally different where I practiced law, but it was immed...iately obvious to me that Mr. Palumbo knew what he was doing. He charged me a nominal fee and kept me informed through the process. He made a motion to dismiss the case at the appropriate time and copied me on the motion. As an attorney I was thoroughly impressed with Mr. Palumbo's legal acumen. Apparently so was the judge and prosecutor, because the case was dismissed without opposition.

What I am most proud of in this review is the fact that I was given a very high rating on trustworthiness and knowledge, Also I understand and appreciate what this client means when he says that he did not hear much during the process. When you retain our firm for a traffic ticket a large part of the benefit of the service is convenience and as I put it "hassle free representation." There are many stages to defending a traffic ticket - negotiating, discovery, motions, hearings, and if required trial. It is our job to advocate for our clients with as little annoyance to them as possible. Only in rare instances do I need to contact a client for something, What is important is that once a case wraps up and there is a fine to be paid that the instructions be quickly and accurately relayed to the client. Failure to pay a fine will lead to a license suspension and the court can also issue a warrant. Our office advises our clients within 24 hours of a case closure of fine payment instructions. Further, we do this by all means possible - via e-mail, regular mail, and phone. I have never had an experience that a court called and advised that a client failed to pay a fine or a client called expressing that they found out the hard way that they should have paid a fine.
