On the verge of losing my license

I came to Mr. Palumbo with 3 speeding tickets in 18 months adding up to 17 points on my license. With his confidence he ensured me that I would get to keep my license. True to his word, the speeding ticket went from 6 points to 4 points and a small fine compared to what I was facing without his exper...tise. The second ticket of 4 point speed went to the charge of a 2 point failure to obey traffic control device ticket and again another small fine compared to what I was facing without him. My last ticket Mr. Palumbo discussed with me I wouldn’t have to go to court and was 100% honest about the possible outcomes due to the fact the ticket was in NYC. His honesty makes him trustworthy and how he handle my last two tickets there is no doubt this ticket won’t have a similar outcome. He and his team are wonderful and any questions I had they did not hesitate to answer; it is service like this I would recommend to anyone.

Excellent Lawyer and Team

Mike and his team are terrific. All of their communication is prompt and courteous, from start to finish. They reduced my 4 point speeding violation to a 0 point equipment ticket. As an out-of-town client who received a speeding ticket in NY...on my way to CT...right before the holidays, I can't s...ay enough about how pain-free they made this process. I simply provided my documentation, and they took care of the rest! Thanks for your help!

New York State speeding ticket

Very happy with Michael. As you ca imagine I was very skeptical at first, but Michael was great and got my daughters speeding ticket reduced to a parking ticket. He handled everything like he said and saved me a lot of hassles. Thanks

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).
