About Steven
Biography
Steven Palermo has spent more than 25 years representing people whose lives were upended by serious injuries, concentrating on helping clients navigate the legal system, hold negligent parties accountable, and secure meaningful compensation. A Huntington native, he co-founded his practice with his brothers and built a reputation for collaborative, client-focused advocacy. Personal experience — a college lacrosse knee injury that required major surgery and a later motor vehicle collision that caused multiple fractures and a long recovery — gives him a deep, firsthand understanding of the physical, financial, and emotional toll of injury. After beginning his career in criminal defense, he switched exclusively to personal injury and has handled hundreds of cases across Long Island, including catastrophic injuries, premises liability, and wrongful death. His work has produced multi‑million‑dollar recoveries (including a $5.5M trial verdict and a $3.2M recovery) and earned coverage in the New York Law Journal, Newsday, and the New York Post.
Palermo Law, P.L.L.C., is one of Long Island's most successful Personal Injury Law Firms.

Great lawyer
Steve and his staff were always in contact. Our meetings were to the point and Steve followed through on his word. He fought to get me what I wanted. I would definitely use Palermo Law again, if it came down to it.
