Speeding Ticket Resolved

Michael Palumbo was informative and quick at helping me to resolve a second speeding ticket I had received within 13 months. He was able to reduce the points and the charge therefore helping me to keep my driver's license. I paid one fee to him and there were no other charges. I definitely recommend ...Michael J Palumbo!

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.

Traffic Violation Representation - Excellent

I received several tickets in New York State due to an unpaid fine in NYC from several years ago, which I thought I had paid. Michael was great to work with. He took care of everything, and I didn't have to travel to New York State to appear in court. I had a heavy speeding violation and driving... with a suspended license. He went back and forth with the prosecutor for several rounds to get me the best possible deal. I ended up with no points, a reasonable fine, and no misdemeanor charge for the driving w/suspended license charge. I couldn't have asked for a better result. Mike kept me informed throughout the case, and the result was better than I could have ever expected. If I ever get popped in NY again, I know who I'm calling, he is the best.

Excellent Service

I am extremely pleased with the services provided. This was a matter with the state DMV and that I could not resolve from my current home state across the country. Michael did an excellent job in dealing with the DMV and getting a suspension cleared. He also really tried to keep the cost to a mini...mum and I really appreciate that especially when it ultimately turned out that nonpayment of a minor fee that was billed to me after I moved was the reason for the suspension.

Substantial result with speeding ticket.

I received a summons for driving 71 mph in a 35 mph zone in Peekskill, NY. Because this took place in a "construction zone" I was facing 8 points on my license, plus a fine of $1,200. I hired Michael Palumbo to handle the matter for a modest fee. As a result of his negotiations, I received only 3 poi...nts, and fine of only $155. Furthermore those 3 points will be immediately removed from my license after taking an online class which Palumbo referred me to. I consider this a remarkable victory. And since he handled the entire matter, there was no time lost and no stress on my part. I would highly recomend Michael Palumbo to anyone wishing to dispose of a traffic ticket.
