Prompt. Knowledgeable. Dependable.

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!

The is the person you want on your side!

Michael P. knows the law and used it to my advantage. He got my case of a traffic violation dismissed. If he can't win the case--no one can! He documented everything for me, went to court for me and handled everything professionally for a fixed fee. I think he is worth every penny. I would use h...im again without a second thought!

So much appreciated your professional services

My son and I were driving up to visit Plattsburgh university at 3 am in the dark pouring rain in unfamiliar hilly roads. While heading downward on one of those roads we saw a car sittingin the blackness with no lights on, I told him to put on his brights to view the vehicle, which turned ou tto be s...tate police who ticketed him for speeding and use of brights unfairly. We hired Michael Palumbo and it was well worth the investment as he had speeding charge cut in half and failure to dim headlights dismissed. Being from out of town (5 hours away) it was such a blessing tonot have to make that trip.

Saved us time, money and frustration

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!

Fast, straight talking and definitely guaranteed best service

I had a 80 in 55 ticket in Chazy town court which is around 400 miles from my base location. The ticket carried possibility of 4 points that I could not afford on my driving record. I called Mr Palumbo and he was straight on the point on what I may get from his services. What I got was one better tha...n that - reduced 4 points to 0 points stop sign ticket. Thank you Mr palumbo, this is the money well spent for me.!
