I was driving my wife and daughter home one night and was pulled over for speeding while passing through New York state. The officer was in a bad mood and issued me a multi-point ticket. This was my first speeding ticket and I soon discovered that NY's traffic laws are more complex than my own st...ate. I spoke with a couple of traffic attorneys on the phone the following day. When I called Michael's firm I actually spoke with Michael and not one of his staff. By the end of that conversation I was convinced that he could help me. Michael also offered a money back guarantee which was important because as a single paycheck family money was already really tight . I was hoping for a quick resolution but that did not happen. The city where my ticket was issued has a history of generating revenue through the nearby highway and therefore the court had a backlog of cases. A year and a half later Michael was able to reduce my ticket to a "failure to obey a traffic control device" which (barring dismissal) was the next best outcome. The wait was the one aspect of this experience that was really tough - more so since I was out-of-state. At the beginning I would email Michael for status updates (probably too often) and always received a prompt reply. Those weekly emails turned into monthly emails as it became apparent that the case was stuck at the court level. If you're considering Michael than my advice is to put your trust in him completely and let him do his thing. He understands the courts and knows what he is doing. I would absolutely recommend him. Drive safely everyone!

Through no one's fault but my own, I recently found myself in a very overwhelming predicament with the DMV. Not only was my car registration suspended (insurance lapse), but my license was suspended in 5 separate municipalities. I was completely overwhelmed and had no idea how/where to start first ...in order to clean up the mess I had gotten myself into. I found Mike Palumbo online and was impressed as soon as I made contact with him. He was extremely knowledgeable and reviewed my case right away. After doing so, he provided me with a detailed email (followed by a phone call) including step-by-step instructions as to how we would proceed. The entire process suddenly seemed and became very manageable, and Mike was very understanding, professional, and responsive every step of the way. Furthermore, as I had made him aware of my tendency to procrastinate, he really motivated and pushed me to get stuff done and meet important deadlines which I appreciated and needed (as my not doing so was a big part of my problem in the first place). Thank you Mike Palumbo for helping to get me back on the road!!

Our young daughter had several traffic violations within the past 18 months she's driven. I turned to Mr. Palumbo immediately, knowing he would do his best to help her keep her license. He did just that....working with the courts to reduce, and in one case, remove all points. He is an excellent l...awyer who offers no-nonsense advice upfront. His fee is reasonable, considering court fines (he had one waived) & the impact a suspended license would have on employment. I recommend his practice without reservation!

Following my first, and unavoidable accident, I had no idea of how I was to present my case to the court. Fortunately, after contacting several lawyers, who gave me the impression that they were not interested in handling this case, I decided to hire Mr. Palumbo. He gave me the best answers to each ...of my questions and took the time to explain everything. I had no knowledge of how courts proceed and what I had to do. Mr. Palumbo reviewed the details very clearly and carefully with me. He specified exactly what I was to do, the forms I had to file and took care of every detail. Never once did I feel that I was being rushed, that my case wasn't important. He was thoroughly professional . Through his knowledgeable, precise, and informed presentation to the court, my case was dismissed.
