A True Leader!
Please help me congratulate Edward Palermo on something major. He has been chosen as the 2019 NY Law Journal TrailBlazer! He is always there for his clients through thick & thin. The outcome is undeniably a huge win! A criminal charge is never easy; especially a false one. When you need a criminal de...

The Best of the Best!
If you're looking for an attorney, Ed Palermo is the ONLY call you should make. Several years ago, I was arrested for DWI with Refusal of a Breathalyzer. I was 23 at the time, terrified, and completely unsure of what to do. I looked up lawyers online, came across Ed's profile, gave him a call, and go...

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...
"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 highly endorse Ed Palermo. I have known Ed for over 15 years as a fellow criminal defense attorney on Long Island. He is a hard working attorney who has earned a very fine reputation as a fierce advocate for his clients. I admire him for his legal knowledge and ability."
"Ed is one of the finest criminal attorneys in Suffolk County. I frequently refer clients to him. He has always achieved excellent results and my clients have been very happy with him. He is capable of handling the most complex State and Federal criminal cases."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ed is a fierce defender of his client's rights and has a track record to prove it. He possesses a professional, charismatic persona rarely seen in the criminal courtroom. He goes beyond what is required and doesn't settle until justice is served. I highly recommend Ed for any and all criminal matters."
"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."
"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."
