I was fully expecting this review. She hired us in a panic after her vehicle registration was suspended for failing to pay tolls for years and racking up $4,186.00 in unpaid tolls and $40,200.00 in violations. I negotiated the violations down to $8,040.00 and got her on a payment plan. After I wrapped up the case and sent her the closing information, including how to execute payment on the payment plan, she claimed "I already knew that..." Ergo, if you already negotiated the deal yourself, why did you hire me to do it? She then wanted her money back after I completed the work. She wants me cancelled, but it's clients like this that should be cancelled.

Honest, Albeit, very very RUDE.

Was initially interested in hiring this guy to represent me in an unpaid/collections toll settlement dispute, but upon hearing a few of my personal details, (most striking being how we can't afford the retainer fee), he began to erratically rattle off reasons why a 'healthy young man should have a jo...b', how i should 'sell my car, because its just sitting around with an empty tank', among other insulting comments. He also proceeded to tell me to 'Stop talking" while I tried to defend myself AS he shouted at me his job search results for my county: 'You should be a nurse, theyre always hiring'. 'Why dont you work security'? 'Whats your degree? See that's the problem, you should've been an electrical engineer'. Mike, I'm sorry we didn't end up choosing you, but here's a tip: Don't berate a potential client based off of your own bias/incentive. I ended up contacting the collections agency DIRECTLY/worked out a better and CHEAPER settlement agreement. Way better than dealing with this 'Lawyer'. GOD BLESS YOU, MIKE!

It's not that he could not afford the retainer fee, he could not afford ANYTHING. He called us knowing that he could not afford to pay anything. Nonetheless, when he told me that he was 33 and not working, and had not been working, we started to discuss job prospects. At the time he seemed like an okay guy we were just talking. I told him that all the retail stores were hiring, and that he would have better job opportunities in the STEM fields instead of in entertainment where he used to work. I did not shout at him or berate him we were talking. It's apparent that is just angry that he could not hustle me into solving his LAWSUIT at no cost. It is just a tremendous sense of entitlement to call a professional service provider and think that they should work for you, a total stranger, at no cost. This is a business, not a charity. And instead of seeking employment, this guy sits around and tries to trash me online. If he put as much effort into seeking gainful employment that he does making false allegations against me, he would not be broke and looking for handouts.

The absolute best decision was hiring Mr. Palumbo!

I was 24 hrs from filing for bankruptcy, as well as having my car registration suspended, as a result of thousands of dollars in toll violations. A friend gave me Mr. Palumbo’s number. What Michael accomplished on my behave was life changing. He saved my car, dramatically reduced my fines, and allowe...d me to get back on my feet. His value, by far, exceeds his price.
