Palumbo is the GOAT

Hiring Mike and the gang was the best decision. I was wary at first due to the high cost, especially when compared to some other lawyers, but it was 100% worth it. I had two moving violations in one traffic stop, a total of 9 points, which would have led to the suspension of my license. I needed to g...et the tickets down to 0 points to avoid this, which seemed highly unlikely. Mike and I went over all the details in one phone call. He was the only lawyer I spoke to that was confident he could win this for me. The day after my court date I received an email stating one ticket had been dismissed, and one was reduced from 6 points to 0, replaced by a littering ticket. This was a great alternative to a 9 point hit on my record, a one-month suspension, and years of spiked insurance rates. The cost is worth what you receive, and I recommend to anyone who needs help in a tough situation.

Thank you for this review! We are a boutique law practice that practices exclusively traffic ticket and auto crime defense. When you hire our law firm you have retained a law firm that has a degree of legal acumen, knowledge, and skill that far and away surpasses that of other law firm. In addition, our reputation with courts and prosecutors throughout the State of New York is well known and highly respected. Our fee is not high. Our fee transmits the quality of service, the dedication to our clients, and the value in which we bring to each and every client. Lawyers that undercharge do not specialize in any practice area. This means that they do not really have the knowledge that a client wants and deserves when hiring counsel. They also have too many clients for not enough money. Which means that while they have cash flow, they don't have profit. Unless they cut corners. Doing things such as not hiring the right staff, not properly preparing cases, not properly doing the out of court work. Eventually their practices goes into an uncontrollable death spiral. They miss filing dates and deadlines. They miss court dates. As a consequence, very bad things happen to their clients. Our firm has the opposite philosophy. Less clients retain our boutique law practice for a higher price point. We have more profits representing less clients. This means that I can hire the proper support staff , and have the time to put the proper effort and prep work into each and every case to get the outcome that we achieved here, and that we routinely achieve for all of our clients. Whenever you hire a lawyer for any practice area, the two main hallmarks you want to look for are (1) a lawyer that specializes in only the practice area that you need. This means that your lawyer's reputation resides in the practice area that you are seeking. (2) A lawyer that charges what you perceive to be a high price. This means that the lawyer has a lower case load then a cheap lawyer, and as such the lawyer has the time and resources to work your case to get the desired results.

Speeding ticket

They say I was going 51 in a 30. Which I know right away is 6pts and would be a lot of money in fines. So I consulted in Palumbo & Associates,and with the help of Ronnie I Hired him. and just like that they reduced from 6pts to a charge of 2 pts non speeding violation. I am so greatful,cause I was he...sitant of trying to fight the ticket myself,but I'm so glad I hired ronnie. It is so worth it. Take my advice if you get a ticket make sure call them first and no one else,you won't be disappointed.

Great!!

Michael and his staff were fantastic. Emails were responded to usually within 2-5 minutes. My 6 point ticket was reduced to a 0 point parking violation. I never once had to travel down to NY or even talk on the phone - everything was handled quickly and extremely professionally. I would highly re...commend.

Great result

I called Mike Palumbo to represent me on a speeding ticket in Harrison town court. The trial date was only three days away. Mike and his staff jumped on it and managed to reduce the ticket from 16 over the speed limit to a parking infraction . This saved me from driving to Harrison, taking a day ...off from work and possibly losing my insurance coverage. Great job.

Dealt with a ticket quickly, professionally, and kept my paranoid self updated promptly!

I had a very good experience with Palumbo and Associates. They are very easy to get into contact with, everyone I interacted with was professional and fact focused. This put me at ease dealing with a ticket outside of my home state. In addition after a month or two I asked if they had a scanned copy ...of a document I sent in. They did and promptly sent it to me without any problem! Would recommend, the peace of mind and quality customer service was worth every penny!
