Edward Palermo always does what is necessary to protect his clients and shield his clients from any harm and/or potential. He gives his clients the straight up truth and advice to protect them and keep them out of harm's way. He always looks out for me, even when I am too lost to look out for myself ...and when I just don't care enough about myself, to look out for myself. He is the best attorney and I am blessed to have him in my life as my attorney.

Ed Palermo is great lawyer and person

I hired Ed to represent me for a dui, it was my second one in 9 years. Since it was under 10 years it became a felony. I am a disabled veteran and I am on pain medicine, I put a couple of days of meds in 1 bottle because of convince, I was on no alcohol. I got charged with driving under the influence... of drugs and 3 possession of a controlled substance. I was straight with Ed from the start and he treated me with respect and whenever I talked to him any anxiety I had disappeared, he is very compintent. I had no idea how crazy the obstacles are when you get a dui. I was sued by the county for my leased car also from the leasing company and I still owed $12,000 for the car I was overwhelmed. From the start Ed took care of everything he knows what he is talking about. It took awhile to finalize everything with the courts, which wasn't Ed's fault but when the judge says you have a good lawyer it's a great feeling. I knew Ed was special and I won't forget how he saved me from being buried from the courts. I can't stress how good Ed is and how understanding he is he will fight for you all the way Thank you Sir

The lawyer and person I will always listen to and trust.

Many people advised me to seek therapy when it became apparent how traumatized I was from a criminal charge filed against me by my ex-lawyer, in which I acted foolishly in an effort to protect him. My friends and family, since January 26, 2015 saw me become traumatized and told me so many times to go... to therapy to get over the trauma. I have become so traumatized over the filing of the criminal charge against me, that even now that it has been dropped thanks to Edward Palermo, I periodically call the police precinct to make sure I am not wanted. I periodically go the Criminal Court Window D220 to make sure there is no Court date for me God Forbid. I barricade the house doors with furniture when I see a police car near my block. My nights are filled with nightmares and my days with anxiety. My mixed feelings towards the person who filed this criminal charge, are constantly the focus of my mind and energy, even though I don't want them to be. The trauma from this criminal charge has changed me and overpowered me. When my wonderful phenomenal attorney Edward Palermo, whom I am forever grateful to, suggested I go to therapy-I knew he was right and that I had to. When Edward said it, I knew he was looking out for me as he does with all his clients and he wants the best for all of us. I knew he wanted me to get better and to get over this trauma. I knew I would and I did start looking for a therapist immediately after Edward Palermo said it. It didn't work out too well with the first therapist but I went to a 2nd therapist yesterday who specializes in treating people who have trauma and/or PTSD and he seems like a good fit for me. Edward Palermo is like a God to me and I will always follow his advice and trust him as I have since I met him last year. I trust him with my life-he saved it. He is so caring, kind, and the answer to my prayers. Thanks to this caring attorney, I am on my way hopefully to getting over this trauma that has become my life for one year and 2 months. Thank you so much again Edward Palermo. The many ways you help your clients are endless and you are the absolute best in every way possible. Thank you forever.

"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!"

"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."
