Protects his clients and shields them from harm.

Edward Palermo always does what is necessary to protect his clients and shield his clients from any harm and/or potential harm. He gives his clients the straight up truth and advice to protect them and keep his clients 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

Ed Palermo is the best lawyer in the world!

Ed Palermo is the number one best lawyer that you could ever hope to find. If you want the most desirable and positive outcome possible look no further. Its no coincidence that he is ranked in the top one percent of criminal lawyers across the entire country. In my personal opinion if every attorn...ey was as good as Ed no one would be in jail. When I met Ed for a consultation I had already met two other attorneys prior to him. Each one of them told me that the best outcome they could give me involved me pleading guilty to a lesser charge which would have left me with a rap sheet, something that no one wants. When I met with Ed he told me that he might be able to get me a dismissal on all charges. (HE WAS THE ONLY LAWYER I MET WITH THAT SAID THIS) I was so scared when I got in trouble I was pulled over, arrested and charged with 2 serious violations one was a misdemeanor. Not only did Ed save me from going to trial or worse jail, he got both charges adjourned in contemplation of dismissal(ACOD) which is the holy grail of outcomes in criminal court. I am still in awe and amazed that he was able to do this for me. The connections he has developed with judges and prosecutors being a lawyer with so much experience over the years must have played a part in my outcome, Im not sure how he achieved the result that he did for me but I am forever grateful. I have friends, relatives, and co workers who have been in trouble and usually when an arrest is involved the final outcome is the person pleading guilty to something. Ed got my charges outright dismissed!, he is the Michael Jordan of attorneys. I am so grateful that I found this wonderful man he truly cares about his clients and isn't happy unless your happy. His positive attitude and confidence as a defense lawyer is unmatched and makes you feel at ease, I gave him a hug on my last court date because I knew that he did more for me than any attorney could have his charisma, connections, knowledge, and professionalism got me the best outcome possible, and I didn't plead guilty to anything! Being arrested with serious misdemeanor charges this is absolutely unheard of and in my opinion there isn't a defense lawyer in NY state that could have achieved the outcome that Ed did for me. To anyone reading this please listen my advice is don't settle for a second tier attorney this is your future were talking about, don't end up being a person that wonders 5 years from now if maybe a different lawyer could have done better for you. Ed Palermo is the lawyer that can make the trouble you got in seem like a bad dream and I am living proof. He is the best attorney in the world and I believe in him and in his abilities so much. I am still shocked that he was able to get my charges dismissed! Thank you so much Ed you saved my life and now I can move on without worrying about having a checkered past, you allowed me to maintain a clean record which is priceless. I am so happy that like so many others before me I can say to my friends, family, co workers, etc. that I used Ed Palermo as my lawyer and he got everything dismissed. I needed to get out of a rut that started when I got arrested, meeting you Ed was the starting point that helped me believe I could, and than you made that belief become a reality! I was in need of a spring board to save me and allow me to bounce back to happier days, Ed was that spring board for me. Life is filled with peaks and valleys, when I got into trouble I was in a valley, Ed Palermo helped me get back to that peak, I will never forget how he helped me and how he went the extra mile for me. My advice to anyone in trouble who reads this is not to settle for a second tier attorney, I didn't and had Babe Ruth go to bat for me and we won! Ed Palermo is the absolute best lawyer there is! his incredible track record speaks for itself. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a defense lawyer, on a scale of 1 to 10 Ed Palermo gets a 100!
