Cell Phone Ticket NYC

I received a cell phone ticket in Queens NYC on May 2015, after pushing it off multiple time they finally went to court and i was found guilty as charged. I called the office afterwards to find out what happened and they said there is not much you can do in NYC and they usually recommend paying the t...icket and taking a course for point reduction. I just wish they would have told me that up front.

This review is grossly misleading and partially false. The falsity is that we NEVER "usually recommend paying the ticket..." That is a bald faced lie. In fact, had we done that with this person then why would they have retained us? In NYC the court is an administrative tribunal, which has a no plea bargaining policy. So UNLESS you fight the ticket you are found guilty 100% of the time. We make this clear to EVERYONE that contacts us that the only path to dismissal is to fight the ticket. We also make it exceedingly clear that there are no guarantees in NYC that you can lose despite our best efforts. In fact, this is the very language of the retainer agreement this guy signed: "please note that we do not guarantee a particular or even favorable result. In other words...you might lose at trial. You might be found guilty of the charge or charges you are currently facing despite our best efforts." This is what this liar signed. It was right there in black and white. In NYC, the name of the game is to delay the case for as long as we can so that even if as here the client is found guilty we avoided the insurance increase, because we took the case to trial after getting them through all, or most, of the insurance increase period. We also get our client's court appearance waived. That is EXACTLY what we did in this case. Rather than go on and on in detail, just check out our web page on how and why we defend NYC tickets the way we do here: http://www.mpalumbolaw.com/new-york-city-ticket-defense.html. The simple fact of the matter is that no one knows whether they will be found guilty or not in NYC until AFTER the trial. Every day we have clients whose cases are dismissed and clients who are found guilty. It happens. One has to have a risk and loss tolerance if they are going to retain counsel in NYC, and If this guy did not have the risk & loss tolerance then he should have just plead as charged. Don't listen to what this misleading complainer who had unrealistic expectations has to say. Check out what our hundreds of other clients from both in and out of NYC have said about us in their own words. Then, pick up the phone, speak to us, and judge for yourself.

I was a 9 pointer. Now I'm a 0 pointer.

In August 2015, I was pulled over and given two citations. My citations were for following too closely, and for use of a cellular device while driving. The amount of points accumulated from these violations would have gone above six points, which would have given me a $350 New York observation fee,... on top of ticket fines and higher insurance premiums. These tickets could have put me in financial turmoil and I was panicking over what I could do. I hired Michael Palumbo's attorneys to fight these tickets. After hunting for other lawyer firms to fight this similar case, these guys right here have the confidence, the knowledge, and the staff to fight your case no matter what District of New York you are in. Your mind is at ease with these gentlemen. After everything was said and done my nine point ticket violations got brought down to zero points with a $125 parking ticket. They really knocked it out of the park with their excellent service. I cannot recommend this lawyer firm enough. If you are in a similar situation to mine or even worse, trust your case with these guys. They will absolutely deliver the best results. Thank you so much again for placing my mind at ease!

I'm stunned

My son was pulled over for speeding in Suffolk county on a rainy night. 76 in a 55 mph was a 6 point violation for a teen! My first thought of course was " insurance rates". I scoured the Internet looking for an attorney who could help. Normally I would make my son suffer the consequences so he would... learn a lesson but ultimately, who pays? . I read the reviews for Michael Palumbo and felt like he could really help us. I am so happy that I listened to my instincts. This was handled in a professional manner. The speeding ticket was resolved and turned into a stop sign violation. It was still an expensive ticket however no insurance hike and no points. I highly recommend Michael and his team of attorneys. He knows how to get the job done. Thank you again for everything!

A real find

I found Mike Palumbo online and called when I was faced with non-renewal of insurance because of a suspension on two tickets in upstate New York. He got me the information I needed me within the hour, told me what to do and how to handle everything most expeditiously, and on top of it referred me to... to an insurance agent who could place my insurance. If you have a problem with your license, or the DMV, do not hesitate to give him a call.
