I received a 4-point speeding ticket after being charged with going over 70 mph in a 55 mph zone in New York State. Immediately, I plead not guilty and began researching traffic ticket-specific attorneys and was very impressed with Mr. Palumbo, his track record and reviews from others who were charg...ed with similar violations. I hired Mr. Palumbo for his flat fee of $495 with no guarantees expected. Cripes...his firm even goes to court on your behalf to fight your ticket! Or so I thought. Less than a week before my pre-trial date, I received a notice that my ticket issue was resolved and that he had plead guilty on my behalf for a measly 1-point reduction. So my ticket ended up being a violation of running a stop sign with a 3-point penalty. Countless others with the same 4-point charge on this site were left with a 2-point charge or had their points dropped to zero as Mr. Palumbo told me he could do. Although Mr. Palumbo was very professional and responsive, I was expecting him or one of the other firm's attorneys to fight their hardest and actually go to court for me to get the "best possible outcome," in his own words. Several other attorneys could have plead guilty through mail on my behalf for a lot less money with the same outcome, but I hired him specifically with the expectation of the firm showing up to court and using his cross examination of an officer techniques in the 2007 periodical to which he contributed. Honestly, he did not fight as hard as he could have, in my opinion, for the money. Overall, I would not recommend him.

I got a 4 point speeding ticket from a Parks Department office on the Taconic Parkway. I didn't want to take the hit on the points OR insurance, but never had much luck fighting tickets myself. "Your honor, he's a PARKS Department Cop!!" would have been my only defense! Palumbo & Associates was ...able to get it knocked down to parking in front of a fire hydrant... Who knew the Taconic even HAD fire hydrants!?

I am a VT resident. Michael informed me it would be difficult to find a VT lawyer to help me with a speeding violation...he was right. He was able to have the points on my license waved, however, I did have to pay the original fine. Better that than points. I would highly recommend him to anyo...ne who lives in VT. Thank you Michael and staff. Professional all the way.

Michael was "on it" from the moment I placed my first call to his office. I appreciated his candor in that he was clear that he can make no guarantees. With that said, he went on the offensive on my behalf with guns blazing (figuratively speaking) like Rambo on steroids. As a result I was ultimately ...found not guilty for what would otherwise have been a six point traffic violation.
