Legal advice you can trust

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.

out of state ticket

I live in Virginia so I needed a simplified way to handle a traffic ticket I received in NYS and wanted to dispute. Mr. Palumbo was professional, and did a great job of staying in communication with me. I was happy with the results.

Kudos for Michael Palumbo, Esq.

I was one of many victims of the very aggressive enforcement of the newly enacted "Move Over" law in New York State. While I am totally understanding and supportive of this law, which will prevent injury and death to law enforcement officers who are on the shoulders or grassy areas of the highway, I ...was totally unaware that I was obligated to move over totally to the left lane under such circumstances. Although I slowed down and moved over to my left by several feet, it is difficult and dangerous to quickly change lanes on the curvy two lane Taconic State Parkway. I had heard of the fine work performed by Mr. Palumbo and he successfully defended me in court, and I was not assessed any points on my license and asked to pay a nominal and fair fine. And I did not have to travel 2 hours north to court. Mr. Palumbo handled everything on my behalf. I trust and recommend Mr. Palumbo to any individual in need of professional and successful representation.

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.

Very Satisfied

Michael was knowledgeable and on the ball. He explained to me many of the ins and outs in my case and achieved a resolution that in the long term saved me money, aggravation and points on my license!
