The Only Choice

Edward Palermo Esq. is a superb Attorney and Person. This is reflected in the fact that he won the Bethpage Best of Long Island Contest for the FIFTH consecutive year in a row. He is so understanding and compassionate. He takes the time to explain things to me that are difficult to understand becaus...e I am disabled and have ADHD and have difficulty understanding things. Ed is so patient and kind. The positive qualities about Ed are in the millions and billions. If you are in a need of an Attorney, he is the ONLY CHOICE.

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 18

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Ed Palermo is hands down one of the best trial attorneys I faced in the 3+ years I was with the Nassau County District Attorney's Office. Not only is he an exceptional advocate in the courtroom, but he was extremely pleasant to work with. Ed is a master of his craft: 10/10 would recommend him!"

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Edward for 16 Years. Over that time Edward has distinguished himself as an excellent criminal defense attorney with a talent for trial work and plea negotiations. He works tirelessly representing his clients with care and compassion."

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 25

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. Edward Palermo is superior trial lawyer that has successfully represented thousands of clients facing all types of criminal matters. As a result of Mr. Palermo's vast trial expertise, he often is able to obtain far more favorable pleas dispositions, then other attorney's, on behalf of his clients. I believe this is due to Mr. Palermo's superior trial abilities and the apprehension of lesser experienced district attorney's to push hard for trial's on Mr. Palermo's cases. Anyone facing criminal charges would be hard pressed to find a better advocate then Mr. Palermo."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
