Michael Palumbo literally snatched me out of the jaws of the DMV

Mike, thanks so much for your sterling work on my behalf. I wish I could have been there to see you in action. When u informed me about the mandatory suspension on the ticket I retained you for, I have to admit I literally got sick. Then I started thinking about what I could do to circumvent t...his catastrophic sentence, and just that quick, God stayed my hand. I made a resolution to just pray, believing, and trust God, turning it over to him completely, regardless of the eventual punishment. I applied myself to Psalm 103 and keyed in on verses 9 – 11. I prayed from the day you called me, until the day before the trial. Then I turned it over to God, and put the whole thing out of my mind. I stayed calm. I was prepared to pay whatever price it turned out to be. But of course I prayed believing that God would be with me, would be with you, to remove me from the suspension using whatever method He chose to use, just as He promised in those verses. Thank you Michael Palumbo. Brilliant work. A fine instead of a license suspension is an outstanding outcome. I had heard you on Christian radio months earlier, yet I remembered your name and called you first. I am glad you were there when I needed you. Thanks to you and your staff for this outstanding result.

Fantastic job

I wanna thank you so very much. My case was dismissed. I had three tickets and you fought them all. May God Bless you.

Got the charge of leaving the scene of an accident dismissed

I am an attorney who recently moved to New York and was wrongfully charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Not knowing the court system I did some research and came across Mr. Palumbo. The court system and defense of a traffic charge is totally different where I practiced law, but it was immed...iately obvious to me that Mr. Palumbo knew what he was doing. He charged me a nominal fee and kept me informed through the process. He made a motion to dismiss the case at the appropriate time and copied me on the motion. As an attorney I was thoroughly impressed with Mr. Palumbo's legal acumen. Apparently so was the judge and prosecutor, because the case was dismissed without opposition.

Michael is a great lawyer

I was wrongfully charged in an assault where I was facing losing my state license and career that I had worked so hard to build for over 20 years. Michael was my 3rd lawyer - the other 2 both told me to plea guilty because it was on film. Michael's take on it was different, he said that the tape help...ed my case, and in his words wouldn't "dream of not letting the district attorney bury it." I had my doubts but you know what, he was right! Michael used that tape to show the judge what liars the witnesses were. But was I found not guilty? Actually not. That's because I didn't have to be - in the middle of the trial the district attorney dismissed the charges! I have my job, career, and life back thanks to him.
