Price paid not worth the result
Michael and his team did get points off of my ticket, however using another law firm would have yielded the same result and would have been cheaper. The extra premium is not worth the result.
I wish I knew who this was so that I can comment specifically to your complaint. If you call or e-mail me and tell me who you are I will update my response. Knowing what I do from your comment, all I can say is that we specialize in traffic ticket defense. We don't dabble in it and it's not a side hustle - this is what we do, which means that our reputation resides in this practice area. Whenever you hire a lawyer, for anything, the three hallmarks of the right lawyer is one that (1) specializes in what you need, (2) is in high demand, and (3) charges a professional price. Professional price = professional work, unprofessional price - unprofessional work. You claim that had you paid an unprofessional price the result would have been the same, however you don't know that. We only tell our clients the net result, not what we had to do to get there. When you retain us we don't just stand in for our clients like what happens with an unprofessional law firm. We actively litigate your case by doing our discovery and disclosure. I would love, love, love to detail the specific procedural history of your case to illustrate to anyone who sees this exactly what we did so that they can make up their own minds. And, if you have the courage to call or e-mail me with whom you are I will do just that. However, if someone is reading my response in its current iteration, know that the reviewer who sandbagged me with an anonymous review not recommending me did not have the internal fortitude to identify themselves to me so that I could fully defend the work I did in this case. I would hope that anyone reading this reviews any one of my literally hundreds of 5 star reviews and then judges me for themselves by calling us anytime, 24 / 7 at 914-777-2990. We specialize in traffic ticket defense, DMV appeals, hearings, and applications, and EZ Pass tolling issues. We answer questions people have about their situation all day, every day, and we'd be happy to answer any questions that you have!

Won my 6 point NYC speeding ticket
I used this firm solely on the reviews I read on Google, Avvo & Yelp. I took my chance and it certainly worked out in my favor. I live in NYC (Queens) and received a speeding ticket, doing about 53 on a 25 at around 2:45AM. That was a 6 point ticket and in a jurisdiction like NYC, it is very hard to ...

The absolute best decision was hiring Mr. Palumbo!
I was 24 hrs from filing for bankruptcy, as well as having my car registration suspended, as a result of thousands of dollars in toll violations. A friend gave me Mr. Palumbo’s number. What Michael accomplished on my behave was life changing. He saved my car, dramatically reduced my fines, and allowe...

Speeding Ticket
I was told that my speeding ticket would very likely be reduced to zero points and a nominal fine. While Michael was able to get me zero points, the fine ended up being 4x more than what he said was the highly likely outcome. I thought I was paying for a premium lawyer to get me a lower fine, but was...
I did exactly as promised. Sentencing (i.e., the amount of the fine), is up to the discretion of the court. If I did not accept the fine amount set, I would have had to set the case down for trial. Had you lost, you would have gotten all of the points, a much higher fine, and a huge insurance increase. Also, when you are found guilty after trial you lose total ability to control your sentence. This means that the judge could have, in addition to assessing a much higher fine, suspended your license. I would never put a client in such risk, and judging from your complaints here had your license been suspended because I turned down what you perceive to be a high fine you would have had an aneurysm. You paid a premium lawyer to know what to do to protect their clients. Yes, it was an excessive fine I agree, but let's read between the lines here. When a judge assesses a high fine, they are transmitting to you that they really don't care about your trials and tribulations. Would you really want me to seek a trial dismissal in front of that guy, or would you want me to exercise my experience, wisdom and common sense and close the case out?
