Excellent Professional Traffic Attorney

Mr. Palumbo's firm was able to convert what would have been an extremely punitive traffic fine to a charge with a much more reasonable penalty with no impact to my driving record and insurance premiums. He has an office full of very professional people who were an absolute joy to encounter. They ma...de the process painless in comparison to dealing directly with the municipal prosecutor's office. I would recommend him to anyone with a traffic law issue in Western New York without hesitation.

Great Job...from 6 points to 0

I was a little/very hesitant in hiring a lawyer for my speeding ticket. I called a couple of lawyers in the area of Rhinebeck, and Michael personally called me later in the afternoon to introduce himself and make sure everything was explained to me. At that point, I decided to hire his firm. I... just found out that they were able to get the ticket reduced to a parking fine. Very awesome and well worth the cost. Nothing but praise for this professional law firm.

Worth it!!!!

I am from New Jersey and have never been to Vermont before.My girlfriend got us reservations for a bed and breakfast up there in November.Driving through one of the small towns up there I was pulled over by a police officer for speeding.No excuses but was generally going with the rest of the traffic ...and didn't think I was speeding.Speed signs change very quickly from area to area and wasn't familiar with the area..I contacted Michael by Google search as his reviews were fantastic.He got back to me very quickly and we took it from there. My ticket was dismissed January 14th and am extremely pleased with the job Michael and his team did!!!His success rate is extremely high and would highly recommend him as my insurance rates would have went up and the cost of the ticket without him.Thank you very much Michael!!!!

He got 'er done!

There is a term, "you get what you pay for". I discussed my situation with Mr Palumbo and he gave me the layout of what were going to have to do to rectify my situation. We then discussed the price and though it was not cheap, I was still going to save some big bucks in insurance if things went my wa...y. He told me that we had a good shot, but nothing is 100%. Well, he got my case overturned and I am in the process of clearing things up with my insurance and getting refunded. Very happy camper. Thant you Mike Palumbo!

Replied last January 19, 2016

Our office offers a lot of traffic related services in addition to defending and fighting speeding, moving violation, and auto crime cases. We also represent persons before the NYS DMV in administrative proceedings such as fatality hearings, medical reviews, and also offer a remediation service whereby we remediate driving records for one reason or another by reversing convictions. That was the service we provided this client. Without realizing the insurance ramifications, he mailed in a speeding ticket with a plea of "guilty," believing the fine would be the only economic implication. However, this recording of a guilty to speeding caused his insurances rates to skyrocket by thousands of dollars a year for a 3 year period. We commenced a special proceeding and vacated (erased) his plea of guilty, and re-plead him to a parking ticket that does not cause the same insurance increase. And there is NOTHING the insurance company can do about it, except refund him his previously paid insurance surcharge.

Speeding Ticket - Excellent Outcome

4 point, ~$400 ticket for doing 75 in a 55 on I-95 in Harrison, NY where the officer included an affidavit stating that I acknowledged that speed during the stop reduced to a zero point, $175 parking ticket. After paying Michael and the parking ticket, I estimate that I saved $500 versus the $400 ti...cket plus the insurance surcharge and I still have a point buffer with DMV. Not much more to say here. Awesome outcome - only better result comes from not speeding in the first place. The only thing the team could have done is provided a couple more touch points and updates through the process but when I did call, they were good about getting back and providing updates.
