Professional and helpful
I had two tickets while driving in NY state, one speeding and one move over ticket. While I work in MA, it would be a pain if I go to the courts and handle the tickets myself. Michael's service is so great that I don't need to do anything after submitting all the materials. The speeding ticket finall...
I fully appreciate this review, however I would like to point something out. The reviewer said that we costed more than "average" lawyers. This is not true. It's not true because there is no such thing as an "average" lawyer. When you hire a lawyer you always want to look for 2 things: (1) a lawyer that specializes in what you need, and (2) a lawyer that charges a healthy fee. This is because by specializing the lawyer's reputation resides in that practice area. Which in turn makes you their most important client. With a generalist or someone who just does traffic ticket defense as a side practice, you are their least important client. Everything else that lawyer does comes before you and your case. You never want to be your lawyer's least important client. You want a lawyer that charges a healthy fee because that tells you that the lawyer is willing to advocate for their worth. This means that the lawyer is willing to advocate for you in court. This also means that the lawyer is making really good money, which means that not only does the lawyer have a professional interest in your case, but he has a personal economic interest in your case. What I am saying holds true for any practice area. The difference between paying the right price and a cheap price for someone who really does not care about you or your case is negligible. In this case, as in all of our traffic ticket cases, our clients pay hundreds to save thousands. It's always worth it to hire the right lawyer at the right price.

Great Service & Results, Everything Exactly as Promised
Mr. Palumbo's office operates like a well-oiled machine, everyone from the receptionists to Attorney Ron Ritz to Mr. Palumbo were outstanding. 5 stars, 10 points! Highly recommended!

Thank You to Palumbo & Associates!
With their help, my daughter's speeding ticket was dismissed! My college student daughter, who holds a California Driver's License, got a very unfair ticket in Dutchess County -- the officer alleged that she was going 68 in a 55 mile zone. Which she was NOT! Because she holds a CA DL, she wouldn't ha...
Never ever consent to a search of your vehicle. Even if you have "nothing to hide." Most cops are good and are trying to do their job, but some are bad and you don't get to pick which cops you deal with. Cops plant evidence all the time to give themselves overtime and stand out among their peers to get promotions and better assignments. You have a 4th amendment right to be free from warrantless, unreasonable searches and seizures. When a cop asks for consent to search a vehicle, simply say "I'm sorry officer, but I don't give consent to search." If a cop asks you to get out of your vehicle ask them if they are asking or ordering. Unless they order you out of the car don't get out. If they do order you out of the car roll the windows up, turn the car off, lock it, and put the key in your pocket. When you do that the police have to get a search warrant if they see anything suspicious in the vehicle because nothing in there is "reachable" or "grabbable."

NYC Lane Change Ticket Dismissed
Our Afro American son was driving a high end BMW and was pulled over at 1;30am for failure to signal a lane change. He said it was a bogus charge, We believed him. We found Palumbo and Associates. Their fee seemed high but their reputation was great. All they promised was that they would give us th...

Desperation will cost you...
License revocation consult is $750 - not free. He won't tell you whether you have a chance or not without $750 - which I would have paid if he was more mature in his manner. When I asked what it would cost me to find out that there was no hope he said "$150...no wait, $750 and I'm gonna make you sign...
This guy contacted us having a complex issue he needed answers on. Specifically, he is a recidivist DWI convict (5 times) and because of that cannot get relicensed in the State of NY or anywhere for that matter. He has been spinning his wheels for years trying to get his license back with negative results. He needs to retain a lawyer to review his lifetime driving history, analyse it, and consult him on what, if anything, he can do to restore driving privileges in NY. What he needs us to do is employ the body of our knowledge to advise him. Spending the time to give him the advice for which he seeks is what we sell. As Abe Lincoln said "our time and advice is our stock in trade." When you call us for a free consultation the consultation centers around what we can do for you IF you hire us. It does not consist of us spitting out answers to complex legal problems as if we were a legal computer terminal. Not only would it be impossible for us to give any accurate answers without doing the research to know the facts to apply the law, even if I could I would not do so because the advice he seeks is what we sell. That he claims he would have retained us but for my "manner" is an out and out lie. He started out the conversation stating that I was taking unfair advantage of him because he was"desperate." At that time I told him that he had to trust the lawyer he would retain and if he thinks that of me he cannot retain us. He then apologized and stated that he was just "stressed." I then continued to discuss what we could do for him if he hired us. He continued to try to give me a verbal run down of his driving history since he got his license since he was a teenager, and I explained to him that the review of that and answers are what he would be retaining us to give him. He then told me to send him the retainer, but added that "you know, you are taking advantage of me." To that I told him that he has twice expressed distrust with us and that I would not be accepting any work from him. He then began to literally beg me to do the review, stating that he has spoken to dozens of lawyers and looked at countless material online and that he knew I was the only one who knew what they were talking about. I then continued to decline representing him and hung up. He also lied when he claimed that I first gave him a quote for $150.00. No way. If you need a driver's license history review and analysis to get you back on the road we charge a minimum of $750.00 for that service, and often times more. So there is no way we would quote a price for $150.00. We take a lot of pride in the work we do for the motoring public and the high level of service we provide. It's rare when we decline work from someone, so the fact we did speaks volumes as to the veracity of this false review. However, you don't have to take my word for it. If you have a speeding ticket, have been charged with an auto crime, or have a suspended license and do not know what to do, see for yourself. Give us a call now anytime (24 / 7) at 914-500-8929.
