Thankful for our "cousine" Dan
Since the moment we hired Attorney Dan, he jumped straight into our case. Within the first 3 days he had already resolved our legal matter. I love how fast he was to respond. He was always there to answer any questions or concerns. Our case was resolved in 4 months, thanks for taking off the legal pressure off our shoulders.

excellent service
i contacted Dan Palumbo in january and hired him in february. I was involved in a domestic violence case and wanted a divorce and custody of my one year old daughter. It is now June and i am divorced and i was also granted sole legal and physical custody of my daughter. i couldn't be happier with the results. The results took a bit longer because my ex husband was agreeing to sign everything at first then demanded money so i served him through publication which ran in the paper for 4 weeks. It is now over and let me just say the whole process was so smooth. i received invoices that indicated exactly what i was charged for and what my remaining balance is (since i paid in advance). highly recommend!!!

BEST LAWYER EVER!!!!!!
I had a very unique case that would be an uphill battle. I was seeking custody of my grandson. I live 5 hours away from Dan and none of the local attorneys had the experience required or wanted to touch my case. Dan listened to me and my urgency and didn't hesitate to take my case even with the distance involved. He had no problems with driving the 5 hours for court appearances and he was extremely fair with his travel costs fees. I could go on an on and my review, seriously, could be 3 pages long on how awesome Attorney Palumbo is. He is extremely knowledgeable, honest, and really cares about his clients. In my experience working with Dan, he goes above and beyond for you in comparison to what other attorneys would provide. For court, he was well-prepared and on point, citing case law and history. He can be aggressive when need be. Hire Attorney Palumbo for any of your law needs, I can promise you, you will not be disappointed. Dan gets the job done with the same urgency. I trust him 100% and would not seek legal advice or representation from anyone else. He is worth every penny and he truly is the BEST LAWYER EVER!!!!

Best defender of innocence
Dan took the n my case in which I was charged as the assailant. Dan secured the onsite video and showed the court that I was actually the victim. Once the court saw the video they dropped the charges and dismissed all charges brought against me.

Excellent, Honest Service
I was referred to Dan through a legal assistance service through my employer for help with legitimation, custody, and child support and I can strongly recommend his services.
He was incredibly thorough in explaining the stages of the process and breaking everything down to ensure that I understood my options. He was very communicative and no-nonsense straight forward. I appreciate very much his honesty not only on his price rate and timeline but also in making sure I had a realistic expectation on my case.
Dan was professional and flexible with my time through the COVID shutdown of the court and offices and even worked with my legal assistance company to get them to cover as much of his fee so I would pay less out of pocket. This was AFTER successfully completing my custody case, going as far as refunding me when my legal aid company covered his fee.

Best Lawyer
I hired Mr. Palumbo for a complicated custody modification involving an out-of-state move. After firing another lawyer who was ineffective in getting anything done, Mr. Palumbo managed to successfully wrap up the case in a few short weeks. He is efficient, communicates with his clients, smart, doesn't take any crap and understands the need to keep unnecessary drama to a minimum. I would hire him again without hesitation.

Case was an easy case for divorce but the COVID-19 shutdown caused a delay. Through it all though, Mr. Palumbo stayed persistent with emailing and calling the clerk of court regularly until they finally got it done. He did a great job!!! Thanks, Dan

Thorough, and to the point
Dan did a great job handling my dispute. He worked hard to quickly get to heart of the matter and try to resolve my issue without additional court time. He wasted no time (or money) in working with opposing counsel, and when resolution was no longer an option, Swiftly go my case in front of Cobb County. Dan prepared a case that was thorough, well thought out, but still left room for last minute resolution. Throughout, Dan fought for my best interest and was diligent in keeping me informed of progress. His follow up and communication were top notch. I highly recommend Palumbo Law after witnessing his work ethic in my domestic dispute.

Consummate
I’m in the Marines, stationed out of my home state, and Dan and the firm he is with was recommended to me for military members. He is an absolute consummate professional and doesn’t stop until the job gets done. I was going through a divorce, with child, and though my spouse and her attorney had dragged it out for about a year, he stayed on their case, pushing for timely responses/resolutions and always kept me abreast. Everything ended up great.
