Edward Palermo is the BEST attorney ever. He saved my life at least twice & saved my naive heart & soul from something so awful that I never would have survived it. He believed my words of truth & my innocent intentions in which I foolishly tried to handle a situation myself in an effort to NOT get a person I cared for in any trouble with any agencies. Ed believed me, my truth, & saw the truth in my naive eyes. He saved my life. He saved me so much pain. I now believe in miracles thanks to Ed!
I had to take a very bad settlement from my ex-husband because he was abusive in my home even though I told everybody this for some reason he was allowed to stay there provided videos and audio as well! Then he still got a few months to stay here while I was practically living in my bathroom to avoid fights.
Thought this guy was supposed to be good? Not at all impressed with his services -- talks a big game but can't deliver. Lots of other lawyers out there -- sorry I hired this one.

False review by the same person who left false review below
I hired Ed Palermo to represent me in a criminal matter. Based on all the positive reviews, I expected this lawyer to do something for the huge fee he charged me. He dragged my case on for many many months, never negotiated anything for me and eventually he lost my case. I'm stuck now with a criminal conviction on my record for something I didn't do. Palermo never answered questions, and did nothing but stress me out during the whole process. I can't stress enough -- DO NOT hire this lawyer
I won her first criminal trial and saved her on case no one thought could be won. Only took second because she begged me as evidence against her was overwhelming. Did MY BEST JOB EVER but the evidence of guilt was so overwhelming no one could have won.

I contacted mr Tuohy over a week ago and wanted to know what is being done, after all he is a scared kid in county jail, the lawyer has not seen fit to get back to me as if I shouldn't ask, even his assistant asks, "what do you want to know" I want to know everything! His mother has also called
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.
