Driving while suspended and gun in the car!

It Happened How He Said It Would Happen

Mr. Lovelace took me on as a client in a misdemeanor criminal defense case. During a free consultation he told me how the process should unfold, his fees, and kept me calm until the court date. The charges were dropped. He knew a big issue was getting my record expunged, and immediately filed the pa...perwork to do so. On a side note, this is without a doubt among the better firms in the greater Fort Washington (PG County) area. After visiting several law firms - where in one instance another lawyer scheduled to meet me, but was not available during our scheduled time - it was obvious after walking into the Palumbo Law firm offices, they are as a whole capable of handling legal matters. They've got a nice office, legal assistants, paralegals, a professional staff, lawyers - a team on your side. Thank you Mr. Lovelace and the Palumbo Law Firm

Extraordinary attorney !!

Michael helped me clear my name after an ugly custody battle transpired into a vindictive attempt to take my son away from me who I have had primary custody of for the past 2 years . He was honest, and gave me realistic expectations throughout the entire litigation process which put me at ease . The... day of court he orchestrated the entire situation with confidence and professionalism, you could tell by the way he handled a court room that there was a lot more to him than just knowledge and experience, he has a gift for debating facts and finding the truth even when facing individuals who attempt to manipulate the legal system he was able to navigate through the process with skill and perseverance. The case was quickly dismissed and my son was returned to me ! Michael saved my family

Dedicated, knowledgeable and well-respected.

Mr. Lovelace recently represented me. He calmed my nerves as he explained the finer points of the proceedings that were going on before my case was called. His rapport with the judge, the courtroom staff, and even the security guards who screen people as they enter the courthouse was a sight to behol...d. Clearly, he is well-respected in Prince George’s County. After he secured a “not guilty” verdict, he spent another hour with me discussing everything from the law to current events. Mr. Lovelace is a relationship-builder, he cares about his clients, and he is the only attorney I will use in the future.

Mr. Lovelace shoots straight from the hip.

I appreciate Mr. Lovelace's direct approach, he sets realistic expectations and get's right to the point. I suppose it doesn't hurt to mention prevailing in both cases he represented my in, so that helps as well. Great attorney.
