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.

Still standing one year later thanks to the best attorney-Edward Palermo! :)

I can't believe that I have survived one whole year and I owe it ALL to the best attorney & person-Edward Palermo. When I found out on 1/26/2015 that I was facing a criminal charge I didn't think I would make it even 1 week or 1 month. I was beyond devastated & never so scared in my life. I was truly... scared to death. I met this wonderful kind lawyer Edward Palermo who saved my life. He saved me from the absolute worst thing in my opinion-a criminal charge in the absolute worst place in the world Criminal Court. I never believed in Miracles before I met Edward Palermo but now I really do. Edward Palermo is a Miracle; he made a Miracle happen. Thanks to Ed I am still standing a year later. I can't believe I made it!! I survived a year & was able to prove wrong the person who filed the criminal charge against me in regards to his doubts he expressed about me. Now that it is has been a year I don't mean to say to we told him so but we did-Ed & I told him so! Thank you forever Edward Palermo! I am so extremely grateful and thankful to you now as much as I was last year and I will always be!!! Thank you!!!!

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!

Made the top 100 list for trial lawyer. That says alot

Edward Palermo looks out for the best interest for his clients. He is very trustworthy. I used him in a few cases and was satisfied every time. I recommended him to friends and people in passing and everyone was satisfied. This is Tyne lawyer you need. He worked out a reasonable payment plan. He is w...orth every dollar. Speeding tickets and worried about points, no problem. Criminal case? Worry no more, Ed Palermo is your guy.
