Honest, Albeit, very very RUDE.

Was initially interested in hiring this guy to represent me in an unpaid/collections toll settlement dispute, but upon hearing a few of my personal details, (most striking being how we can't afford the retainer fee), he began to erratically rattle off reasons why a 'healthy young man should have a jo...b', how i should 'sell my car, because its just sitting around with an empty tank', among other insulting comments. He also proceeded to tell me to 'Stop talking" while I tried to defend myself AS he shouted at me his job search results for my county: 'You should be a nurse, theyre always hiring'. 'Why dont you work security'? 'Whats your degree? See that's the problem, you should've been an electrical engineer'. Mike, I'm sorry we didn't end up choosing you, but here's a tip: Don't berate a potential client based off of your own bias/incentive. I ended up contacting the collections agency DIRECTLY/worked out a better and CHEAPER settlement agreement. Way better than dealing with this 'Lawyer'. GOD BLESS YOU, MIKE!

It's not that he could not afford the retainer fee, he could not afford ANYTHING. He called us knowing that he could not afford to pay anything. Nonetheless, when he told me that he was 33 and not working, and had not been working, we started to discuss job prospects. At the time he seemed like an okay guy we were just talking. I told him that all the retail stores were hiring, and that he would have better job opportunities in the STEM fields instead of in entertainment where he used to work. I did not shout at him or berate him we were talking. It's apparent that is just angry that he could not hustle me into solving his LAWSUIT at no cost. It is just a tremendous sense of entitlement to call a professional service provider and think that they should work for you, a total stranger, at no cost. This is a business, not a charity. And instead of seeking employment, this guy sits around and tries to trash me online. If he put as much effort into seeking gainful employment that he does making false allegations against me, he would not be broke and looking for handouts.

Great service

I had an amazing experience with Michael. He had great communication and ann amazing resolution. I would highly recommend to anyone I received no points on my license, and it was worth every penny.

Review

I was very concerned when I got a speeding ticket in the Bronx and learned the traffic court was not like my local municipality (out of state) where you could talk to the prosecutor and perhaps get a plea deal. I was facing 6 points and fines. I entered a not guilty plea and knew I would need to find... an attorney. Looking online for an attorney is overwhelming and after reviewing several websites, I found none to be as comprehensive and full of reviews as Palumbo & Associates. I was impressed that Michael Palumbo responded to some of the reviews as well. After reading about him and the testimonials, I sent in my information and within not even a 1/2 hour I received a phone call from him. I came to find out that this is his work ethic, he is extremely responsive regardless of what time he receives an email or phone call. I immediately knew my case would be in good hands. He was honest and made no promises, because the court was a difficult one he told me the outcome would obviously be either full points, reduced points or dismissed. But he said he would handle everything and I wouldn't be required to appear. I was therefore ecstatic when I heard from him that my case was dismissed and I received no points. I definitely made the right choice. Your choice of attorney is important - points last years - insurance increases forever. Best money I spent was hiring Palumbo & Associates and I can't tell you enough how highly I recommend that if you are reading this, that you hire them too.

Got My 4-Point Ticket Dismissed!

After receiving my first-ever speeding ticket, I faced a fine, 4 points on my license, and a higher insurance premium. I decided to hire an attorney and contacted Palumbo & Associates. I called late on a Friday afternoon, and Michael called me right back. He put me at ease and walked me through the p...rocess. After I paid, signed, and sent what they needed, they took care of everything. I didn't even have to go to court. His associate, Ron, followed up with me to keep me updated on the case, and today I found out it was dismissed! The price I paid was worth having experienced attorneys handle it. They know the area and court system well here in Westchester County.
