Great result on speeding ticket

Had a speeding ticket for 21 mph over limit. Mike and his team reduced it to a 0 point violation. Never had to go to court, sent the papers we received from the ticket and had a brief call. They handled the rest. We discussed the target outcome, and they delivered spot on. Great job!

Great Lawyer, customer service could use some work

I retained Palumbo & Associates to handle a VTL 1172 (Failure to stop at a stop sign) violation in TVB Queens around September, 2016. Mr. Palumbo came up as a leader in the industry and was one of 4 phone calls I made to retain counsel for this matter. Despite having the highest retainer fee of all... the attorneys that I contacted on that date, I decided to retain him because he was the only one who spoke to me at length about my case, and responded to my concerns about specific intricacies of my situation prior to retainer execution. It was very clear that he is not only knowledgeable in this area of law, but a zealous advocate for his clients. It should be noted that Mr. Palumbo, in my opinion, comes off aggressive to the point of discomfort. I have had two phone calls with the man and he was speaking/yelling at full volume on both occasions. Further, when I contacted his offices at a later date with concerns about my case adjournment, the staff that I dealt with was dismissive and condescending. I am happy to recommend Mr. Palumbo based on his legal acumen, but would caution those who are more timid in asserting themselves against the overbearing nature of his practice.

My office speaks to dozens of people a day. We handle a high volume of calls. As such, it is impossible for me to address the specifics of this reviewers criticisms. When you call my office if you believe a staff member is coming off as rude or dismissive the thing to do at that time is have me take the call or leave a message for me so that I can immediately address it. If I am talking to you and you believe that I am being rude the time to address it is at that time. One thing that is correct, which is the most germane, is that we are the leader in traffic ticket defense. My staff and I are knowledgeable and defend our clients with aggression, passion, and zeal. Which is what you want in a lawyer. If you or anyone you know gets a traffic ticket don't hesitate call us at once. We have a 24 / 7 answering service. We can be reached at 914-500- 8929, or via e-mail to Traffic@MPalumboLaw.com. In fact, the easiest way to reach us is to scan and e-mail or fax to us at 914-777-2999 the ticket with your contact info (phone and e-mail address) and we will promptly contact you.

What a Load Off!

Having no clue how one fights an out-of-state ticket like this, my wife luckily found Michael Palumbo by a google search. He took the time to speak to me on the phone at the onset of the ticket I received (moving violation / speed/ work zone) in NY. He expertly dealt on my behalf with the courts and ...ultimately got my 6 point ticket down to 4. The result of this meant that we did NOT have a spike in our auto insurance bill. I cannot express the relief we felt in this household. Yes, we paid Mr. Palumbo what I consider a fair rate, and we did have to pay a fine of about $250. ALL fair, in this case, no complaints at all. Thank you, Mike Palumbo, for a fantastic job.

Soeeding Ticket Resolution

I could not be more satisfied with the results of my case, from 6 points to 0 points, you cannot do better. From my initial contact, you have been personal, professional and efficient in handling my problem. I hope I don't have to use your services in the future; but, if I do, I will call you. I w...ill also highly recommend you to anyone that needs your services. Thank you.

Traffic court

Mr. Palumbo's office was excellent throughout the entire process. Very professional and prompt. They significantly reduced the points I would have received and had the fine considerably reduced. I would highly recommend their services.
