So here’s my story. Got a MASSIVE ticket from a cop that would have cost me thousands over the next few years, was already costing me major headaches, and would have had me appearing in Court over and over again. I sent it to Mike and honestly, after a while I forgot about. We all know that if you forget about something like that it multiplies, grows exponentially, and get worse and worse. But not if you send it to Mike.
Somehow – miraculously – he got me off! Till this day I don’t know how. But I was literally speechless when I heard the result. Now I’m not saying he can get everyone off, but I am saying that you have your best shot of dealing with that system by handing your troubles over to Mike Palumbo.
Personal note: Mike, you are THE MAN!!! Thank you for help with the case mentioned above, and every other one.
I hired Michael Palumbo's firm to handle a ticket I received in which an officer stated I was texting while driving because I "was looking down". I received the ticket back in 2016. I honestly regret the decision of working with this firm.
I'm all too familiar with traffic lawyers, as I did a lot of stupid things when I was younger. A lawyer I've used in the past was on vacation when I needed to get this ticket handled, so I had to look for someone else. Based on the stellar reviews I read online about Mr. Palumbo's firm, I decided to give him a call.
While this was 2 years ago, I remember most of that initial phone call. I was blown away that Michael wanted $500+ to fight this ticket. However, Michael sold himself on premium service, years of knowledge, and the like. He told me they would delay this thing to the point where points would expire, etc. He was a pretty good salesmen and I was in a rush to get this handled before my license was suspended so I hired Michael.
Before I continue, Michael did not offer me "guarantees" of an outcome and I know no lawyer can win 100% of their cases. However, if you speak to Michael, you'll see he's a pretty good salesmen and is able to reassure you he'll get a favorable outcome by the way he speaks and uses his words.
Here is where the "premium service" comes into play. I moved to Florida in 2017. I contacted Michael's office TWICE via phone and email for them to update my records. I received an email back saying everything was updated and I was good.
Well, Michael lost my case. I found out because mail forwarding sent me the letter he sent to the wrong address almost a month later. I have to pay a fine, and had mail forwarding failed for some reason (as it has in the past), my license could've been suspended. Absolutely unacceptable.
I reached out to Michael. I asked why I wasn't contacted, and what happened at the trial. I received an email from a secretary or assistant with a GENERIC document that stated possible outcomes, why I may be upset, etc.
Michael came back at me saying he called multiple times and my number was disconnected, how can he get me if the phone is disconnected? I sent him the emails in which I contacted his office about all the info changes, etc. His tune quickly changed. He admitted their mistakes, told me that the employee was suspended without pay, and he will better himself in the future.
Unfortunately, he's bettering his business at my expense. I have used lawyers at a fraction of the cost in the past who have better communication and professionalism. In my opinion, this office is not worth the "premium" cost and I would not recommend them in the future.
Even worse, they mentioned to me on their letterhead that I have to get a certified check and mail it to the town in upstate New York. This is 2018, not the 90s - it’s called the internet. Good thing I waited a few days, the actual New York upstate court mailed me a letter directly with instructions on how to pay online...
So for $695 I get a guilty plea with no case updates whatsoever and then some disorganized letter with outdated instructions on how to get a certified check and mail it. I’ll be skipping this firm next time.
EDIT: There was some miscommunication on my part and due to the fact that we moved from New Jersey to the state of Florida and I didn't receive some items in the mail.
I do recommend Michael Palumbo and his office, they did their due diligence and got my ticket charges lessened and I avoided some potential car insurance increases. Michael Palumbo did take care of everything A-to-Z after I signed the limited power of attorney and it was smooth sailing from there. He is aggressive as you can see in his tone of his response, but hey that is sometimes what you need in an attorney!
Thank you Ronnie and Palumbo and Associates.
Thank you Michael and Ron
Bunch of professionals...... Thankssssssss...
I don't think any attorney in New York State has handled more tickets than Mike has. He is passionate and knowledgeable in his field. I would highly recommend his services.
When you are in the clear zone, Palumbo lawfirm will send you a letter notifying you of your dismissed case. My $40 from the previous hearing extension was refunded to me as well(check from NYS Comptroller arrived).
If you guys do have any problems you should give them a call as will I for all future tickets.
thank you , i will definitely use their services again
I've received one ticket with two infactions/violation with 1 point each. I am a NY state driver but got this ticket in Connecticut. My question is, do points transfer if I pay the fines ?
Thank you

If you get any tickets in NYC area, you better take a chance by yourself. Don’t waste time/money with lawyer, they do nothing, and they will give you same excuse, “there is no plea bargain in NYC. “”
Only chance, keep postponing as long as you can.
Good Luck
Got my ticket reduced - no points!
Thanks
My 17 year old son got a ticket and Mike got it reduced to a parking ticket!!! Saved me so much money on future insurance issues. I am forever grateful!
