I hired Marc and Matt Chauvin to deal with a DWI. They did a careful review of the evidence and were able to convince the Judge that the paperwork wasn't legally enough to charge me with the crimes. After Marc filed motions, Matt argued them in front of the Judge and the whole case was thrown out. I am really grateful for the both of them.

Mark was great!
I hired Mark Pallozzi when I was arrested for DWI. He took the time and reviewed 4 hours of camera footage from the policemans body camera and spotted several things they did wrong. Instead of picking a fight with the cops, he took the footage to the DAs office and convinced them to adjourn my case in contemplation of dismissal. A few months later, all the charges were dismissed and my case was over. Mark always says he tries to be nice, until he can't be nice anymore. I really appreciate what he did for me.

A better legal experience
I hired Mr. Pallozzi to replace another attorney I didn’t think was doing enough for me. I’m not proud of it but I’ve been in trouble before. So I’ve had to hire attorneys before. My old attorney tried to rush my case through for a plea bargain that included jail time. I could NOT go to jail. I had a job, kids, a life.
Marc adopted my case as if he had been involved from the beginning. He took the case through hearings, and was able to call into question how reliable the police officer was who arrested me. So much so that the DA offered me a new plea bargain that didn’t include jail time.
He did what I needed. He is one of the best.

Trust Marc with your case
I hired Marc Pallozzi for a DWI I got in Albany County. For anyone who knows that County, you know how difficult it can be to negotiate a deal or fight the charge. Marc approached my case very differently than I would have expected. After reviewing my charges, and hearing my side of the story, the first thing he did was research the boundary map of the village I was in. I never would have expected that to be a real issue. Apparently the officer in my case pulled me over 200 meters outside of his jurisdiction, and Marc was able to articulate that to the prosecutor and Judge in such a convincing way that the DWI charge was dropped.
Marc is quick-witted and thorough. If there is a defense to be found, he will find it.

Effective and Fast
Early last year I had a traffic matter in upstate NY. I heard that Mr. Pallozzi was very good at dealing with the issue I was facing. I started doing my research into him and decided I should call him to help me in the matter. and after a friendly and brief series of emails I decided to have him represent me. He was fantastic and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. In my opinion, at no time did he rush me or discount my thoughts or feelings.
During a trip to to Upstate NY I had a run in with an overzealous investigator who made the next several weeks/months of my life difficult both physically and emotionally. Mr, Pallozzi was able to not only guide me through this difficult time but also provide me the with knowledge about how to address other concerns to keep me headed in the right direction.
I am very grateful for his professionalism and persistence as a legal practitioner. I have refereed several of my friends to his law practice and all have had similar results/feelings. Mr. Pallozzi, himself makes you feel listened to and taken care of.

Absolute best ever
Hiring Marc was the best decision that I’ve ever made. I have never felt more completely taken care of by anyone. Marc’s personal approach was exactly what I needed. Hands down the best. This review doesn’t do justice to how well Marc handles justice.

Smart and caring
Marc went above and beyond for me. Saved me money, time, and stress. From the moment I presented him with my issue, he had a clear plan, which was executed flawlessly. I could not recommend Marc’s services more than I already do; he has truely impressed me.

Dependable Smart and Honest
I hired Mr. Pallozi after I got into a situation that could have affected my career as a teacher. I pled with him from the beginning that I was innocent, and Marc believed me. He explained to me my options both in my criminal case as well as any potential professional disciplinary action. He was able to find a mistake that the police made, and ultimately my case was dismissed. I recommend Marc Pallozzi to anyone who is in need of an attorney.

Ianniello Anderson - Teriffic Attorneys
When I hired Marc I was in panic mode. I had never been charged with a crime before. I never thought I would be. Marc took his time walking me through what to expect, what not to expect, and answered all of my rambling questions. He was very relatable. He explained that he used to work for the District Attorney's office because he wanted to learn how to put a case together so that he would be better at taking a case apart.
Marc was able to work out a reduction of my charges.
When we went to Court together I knew what to expect already. I watched as other attorneys walked to the front of Court and talked with the District Attorney. Many a grumpy old man engaged in very stern and almost defensive conversation with the District Attorney. When Marc approached he smiled, and shook her hand. He was the only attorney I saw do that. They exchanged a few words and then we went in front of the Judge. The whole process was very smooth. There were no surprises. I left with a violation, and a fine.
Obviously I never want to get in trouble again. But if I do, I am calling Marc.

Great Advice
Marc (and his team) handled a complex workplace harassment issue for a dear friend and through his counsel, helped her achieve a terrific result. During the initial consultation with us, he talked through the particulars of NY law and made everyone feel at ease. I would recommend him anytime and know if I am in a bind, I could count on Marc to guide me through.

Very reliable
I have hired Mr Pallozi a couple of times and I can honestly say it was the best decision I have made when it comes to my legal situation. He is upfront and tells you how it is and he works for what is in your best interest. I remember my 1st time in court with him representing me, he sat with me in the court room , now for those who don't know lawyers have their own section they sit , but Mr Pallozi did not sit in the lawyer section he sat in the back with me to ensure me he had my back 100% and everything was going to be just fine. I had a 13 point ticket and a class A misdemeanor , he was able to get the misdemeanor charge thrown out and the 6 moving violations down to 1 parking violation and no points. Another time I was pulled over doing 85 mph in a 55 mph zone , which is 5 or 6 points and he was able to get it dropped down to a parking violation and no points. He always answers your phone calls and if he is not in the office he will return your call as soon as he can , he also makes sure you understand what you are charged with and he comes up with the best game plan for your situation. I have given a few friends his number and personally if I need a lawyer he is the 1st one I will call with no doubt in my mind I will get the best outcome .
