Goood lawyer but be careful of traffic tickets in NYC

Mike did the best possible job for me. However, I will just warn you that with certain courts in NYS, you are better off paying your fine because you never win. I have been ticketed in NYC and NYS and the state tickets can be plead. In NYC you can be found guilty or not guilty and I don't personally ...know anyone who has ever fought a ticket in NYC and won. Good luck!

I disagree with the premise that one should plead guilty as charged in NYC because you can "never win." In fact, the opposite is true. The only guarantee in the NYC traffic court is that if you do not fight it you will be found guilty 100% of the time. Consequently, there is a lot we do for our clients in the NYC traffic courts. Whenever a person defends a moving violation it is for one or more of 3 reasons: preservation of insurance premiums, preservation of driving privileges, or preservation of employment. The method by which we defend our clients in the NYC courts protects all of those interests whether or not our client is found guilty of the charges. We do this through the method by which we defend clients and operate in the NYC courts, which can be found on our web site here: http://www.mpalumbolaw.com/new-york-city-ticket-defense.html. There are also other things we do which someone without experience in the NYC traffic court would have no knowledge of. For example, because we are there every day we know the attitude and biases of the judges. For example, whereby one judge could be skeptical of a cell phone ticket another has an almost 100% conviction rate. Because of our knowledge we give our clients a better shot at getting a case before a judge who would be amenable to dismissing the charges. There are also times whereby we can plead a client guilty to the charge and prevent an otherwise mandatory license suspension. Yet other times we know when to not answer a calendar call to stay away from a judge, post a bond, and come back to fight another day. In addition, we often get our clients relief through the trial process. For example, we routinely end up with a finding of guilty to a 4 point speeding when the charge was a 6 point speeding. Likewise, when multiple tickets were written we may not get them all dismissed but some of them dismissed despite being convicted on others. This often saves our clients excessive fines and preserves their driving privileges. If you have a NYC speeding or traffic ticket or one anywhere in NY, you need our services. We charge 1 low flat fee and you never have to come to our office or go to court we do everything for you. Give us a call today at 1-877-99-No-Tix (1-877-996-6849).

Driving record remains clean

The Palumbo office represented me in VT and the ticket did not go on my driving record, and I do not have to pay the additional insurance rates over the next 3 years.

Speeding Ticket

Thank you so much. I just received an email that my speeding ticket was knocked down from 6 pts. to 0 pt. parking ticket and this was resolved day in the email I got from the Lawyers Office and my Court day wasn't until July. Thank you again so very much. Michael P & Associates.

We are in the courts routinely and, knowing the tendencies of individual judges had this client's case advanced to get the best possible outcome. We cannot control everything but nonetheless always use all the tools at our disposal to ensure as best we can our clients get a deal that makes sense in their situation to keep their insurance rates low and prevent license suspensions.

Fantastic! Extremely pleased!

Never considered obtaining attorney services for a traffic ticket - but a recent 6 point speeding ticket in Suffolk County NY changed my mind. I was very concerned with the number of potential points on my license not only because of insurance rates, but NYS surcharges $300 (on top of any fine the... local municipality charges for the violation) if a driver has 6 points or more on their license at any given time. So I really was looking to get the points reduced. I never thought they'd get them ELIMINATED. Not only did Palumbo Law handle everything - they quickly got the ticket reduced to a parking violation fine - resulting in NO POINTS! Their service fee was reasonable, worth every penny and the outcome far exceeded my expectation. I would use them again without question, and would recommend their services to anyone receiving a high-pointed moving violation.
