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.

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.

A Notch Above the Rest!

I was recently ticketed with four moving violations that included speeding, crossing over the HOV divider twice and driving with no insurance one morning in Nassau County. After an extensive search online to see what firm would best represent my interests, I came upon Mr. Palumbo's website. While s...peaking with him he assured me that he would get most of my tickets either dismissed or reduced. In fact, he backed it with a money back guarantee! (The no insurance ticket was a dismissal in the bag since I was insured but had forgotten to place my recent insurance card in my car that fateful day.) I was still nervous bc my speeding ticket was pretty serious. But the court date came and went and before I knew it, I received an email from his office notifying me that he kept his promise by doing a great job and getting me the outcome I was hoping for! I didn't even have to make an appearance. I highly recommend him!
