Edward Palermo is the lawyer who I call my Hero & Superman. Ed restored my faith in lawyers & he always treats me with so much respect & dignity. Ed saved me from the most frightening thing in our world. I will never forget how terrified I was & how Ed saved my life. I will never forget what how he helped me. I will always be extremely thankful & grateful to Ed. I just want Ed to know & realize I am forever grateful. If anyone out there needs a superb caring attorney, Edward Palermo is the BEST!
I was taken seriously last week at my Traffic Court Appeal, and it is all thanks to Edward Palermo. He saved me from a false criminal charged filed by a cruel individual who was trying to harm me. IF God Forbid I had Criminal Charges pending against me, I never would have been taken seriously at my Traffic Ct Appeal or anywhere. Ed is the best lawyer & person. I want everyone out there facing charges to know he can help you. Don't give up or lose hope. Ed Palermo is the answer & will help you.
Edward Palermo saved me from a false criminal charge last year & my life is positively affected by this daily. I was able to fight a Traffic Ticket today in my Appeal thanks to Edward Palermo saving me last year from the Criminal Charge, in which I feel like I wouldn't have been treated right at all at my Appeal if I had this Criminal Charge on me. Edward Palermo protected me from so much harm & he will always be my hero. Thank you so much Ed :) You are the #1 Person & Attorney in our Planet! :)
Edward Palermo saved me again on 5/3/2016 when I had a weak moment when I saw my ex-lawyer who tried to harm me last year. I got very upset & text my ex-lawyer letting him know how much he hurt me (via a 1 sentence text.) He threatened me again with the police when I did nothing wrong. He retraumatized me again on 5/3/2016, throwing salt into my open wound. I felt like I was going to fall apart & Edward Palermo saved me again on 5/3/2016. He is my hero & the person who I will always listen to.

Edward Palermo always does what is necessary to protect his clients and shield his clients from any harm and/or potential harm. He gives his clients the straight up truth and advice to protect them and keep them out of harm's way. He always looks out for me, even when I am too lost to look out for myself and when I just don't care enough about myself, to look out for myself. He is the best attorney and I am blessed to have him in my life as my attorney.
Everyday since January 26 2015 I learn of more & more ways Edward Palermo saved my life. I just found out last week Ed saved my work license. An individual was trying to have me falsely criminally charged over something very INNOCENT I did to PROTECT that individual. I met Ed by the grace of God & he saved me from the WORST thing/place-Criminal Ct. I had to renew my work license & if I had not met Ed I would be in danger of losing my work license. Edward Palermo is the ABSOLUTE BEST-THANK YOU!:)

Edward Palermo is the most kindhearted best atty. He posted several videos online; they are so reassuring & soothing. Watching the videos & listening to his kinds words makes us clients feel so comforted. He is ALWAYS there for his clients & is answer to my prayers. I'm approaching the 1 yr mark of when a person I care for tried to have me crim charged. I keep watching Ed's comforting videos to remind myself, if God Forbid something bad happens to me again on 1/26/16 I can turn to Ed for help.
During Thanksgiving time & always I am so thankful to Edward Palermo. Ed is the most PHENOMENAL REMARKABLE Atty. Thanks to Ed I received a ck from NY State Treasury on behalf of NY Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection. My civil attorney is in State Prison & so he wasn't able to reimburse me. Ed informed me of the Fund-which I had no knowledge of prior & pointed me in the right direction again when my claim was first denied. Ed is so patient, kind, genuine, loyal, dedicated, & wonderful! Thanks :)
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
