Thank you for this dishonest and misleading review. It gives me the chance to highlight and showcase our services and professionalism in a way that I rarely get to express. You got 2 cell phone tickets in NYC, a venue where there is no plea bargaining. Which means every case goes to trial. Don't play "Jimmy the dope" you work for a law office so you know how this works. At a trial you can win or lose. You signed a retainer that stated that you could lose despite our best efforts. Indeed, if I could guarantee you a win I would be corrupt. As for being non responsive, please spare me. We are available 24 / 7 . My office is manned during business hours and after hours we have an answering service that routes all off hour calls to an attorney and we return the call before the next business day. For anyone that is seeing this please, by all means don't just take my word for that call us anytime at (914) 500-8929, 914-777-2990, or 877-996-6849. My staff and I also communicates rapidly by e-mail, which again if you don't believe me drop me an e-mail at Michael@MPalumboLaw.com. By attaching your ticket to an e-mail you'll get detailed information about your situation. And, as this reviewer states, I am even available to be contacted through Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/attackthatticket/. That is how available we are. You undermine the credibility of your complaint when you admit that, for a small, one time flat fee of $700.00 per case, we represented you and litigated your cases for 4 years! In and of itself that proves we advocated hard on your behalf. Whenever you contacted our office we gave you a status update, which was redundant because you received a status update from the court after each court appearance. We were happy to give you the status update nonetheless. If anyone reading this wonders why a defendant would not know what is going on in court, it is because WE GET OUR CLIENT'S COURT APPEARANCE WAIVED! Yes, that is correct. We made court appearance after court appearance and this person did not even have to show up! I also have to question your legal knowledge as a law firm employee when you state that you wanted to "prepare my own statement." As you should know, but obviously don't, you cannot enter a written statement at trial. If you wanted to profess your innocence you would have had to come to court to testify, which when you asked about making a written statement that is what I told you. I also told you that unless you wanted to testify that there was nothing I could do with you version of the events and that, unless you came to trial the case was made by cross examining the cop after his direct testimony. We did in fact tell you that you could have come to court and I told you to let us know if you wanted to so that so that we could fully prepare you for trial. But you did not want to come to court. You mislead by omission when you fail to mention that our office prevented an otherwise mandatory license suspension. A $750.00 assessment means that you accrued 12 points in an 18 month period. Once a motorist hits 11 points the DMV suspends the license for 31 days. Through our superior skill we avoided that otherwise mandatory suspension - thank you very much. You also complain that it took 4 years as if that is a bad thing. However, like I tell you and everyone with a NYC ticket, we delay the case back as far as we can to get you through all or most of the 3 year insurance increase period. In this case, even though your convictions would have triggered thousands of dollars in insurance increases we avoided all of that for you as well. You're welcome. I invite anyone reading this to judge me for themselves. Check out the hundreds of other positive reviews, pick up the phone, or drop me an e-mail. You will see for yourself how responsive we are. We talk to people who have questions about their traffic tickets all day, every day, and we'd love to discuss your case and answer any questions that you may have!
