He writes his own reviews

I had him as an attorney, he just wanted the money, he sucked.... btw look at his reviews what kind of client would constantly capitalize "appeal"? Or know to capitalize "Lower Court"? What kind of client in criminal court actually knows what a Super Lawer is and properly capiloizes it and puts it in... a review? Come on people...Ed Palermo is a chump. He write his own reviews to sucker people into thinking he's a "hero" but the screws you out of $10,000 right out of the gate and goes on vacation... I called him once when I was at a court date and when he picked up he goes "where are you?" You're my attorney bro its your job to know when your client has to appear. He does not have his act together... just some nice suits and a fancy car to look as if he does.

Best Attorney Ever!!

Edward Palermo is by far the best attorney! I found my self in a really bad situation so I hired a high profile attorney that was recommended to me. That attorney was all about the money and screwed me in the end. I called upon Mr. Palermo in a panic after reviewing his client's reviews which were am...azing and rare. I was desperate! His calm demeanor and expertise gave me options. When you are going through a difficult time you don't see options. I paid my former attorney in full and he didn't show up for my court case however Mr. Palermo wasn't concerned about the money. Although he didn't know much about my case he listened to me and advocated for me. People go into law for a number of reasons...to make money...to enforce justice or to advocate for those in need. This attorney went into law for all the right reasons. He shouldn't have to pick up the pieces for his colleagues he should lead them. Thank you Mr. Palermo! You give us hope.

"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!"

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."
