Edward Palermo represented a Brooklyn resident in a DWI charge on Long Island
As a successful real estate broker, the client was concerned about the effect a criminal conviction would have on his professional license and livelihood. The District Attorney would not reduce the charge to a non-criminal traffic violation because the client was previously arrested for driving while intoxicated. Edward found a flaw in the prosecution’s handling of the case and made a motion to dismiss the case. The motion was granted in its entirety and the case was completely DISMISSED.
Client charged with aggravated DWI
Client is a financial professional and his future career advancement was in jeopardy if convicted of this serious misdemeanor crime. The Suffolk County District Attorney VERY RARELY agrees to reduce such a charge because of the elevated Blood Alcohol Content finding by police. Suffolk County DWI Lawyer Edward Palermo negotiated an extremely favorable resolution which will lead to the reduction of the aggravated DWI to a simple traffic infraction after 1 year of good behavior by the client. His professional license and future career opportunities are secure.

All charges dismissed and client, who is a teacher, was able to resume his life and career with a clean record.

The Essential Patchogue Criminal Defense Advocate

As a Patchogue Criminal Lawyer, I hear these questions and other similar questions every day. I understand how stressful it can be when a criminal charge has been placed against you. I truly believe, however, in placing everything into perspective. You have been charged with a crime – but I am here to protect you. The first thing you need to do is relax. Take a deep breath. The Presumption of Innocence is the bedrock of our criminal justice system, and I will make sure that it is given to you!
It’s essential that you retain the most qualified and experienced criminal attorney practicing in your jurisdiction. The outcome of your case may entirely rely on who you retain to represent you. I have been in the criminal law trenches in Suffolk County, Nassau County and New York City for more than three decades. Many attorneys will only dabble in criminal law. Avoid these attorneys at all costs – they are not experienced enough in the matter of criminal law. When you have a criminal charge placed against you, you need an attorney with many years of concentrated experience. There is no alternative to experience and well-established success. No matter what your case involves, it won’t surprise me. I have seen everything over the past thirty years as a Patchogue Criminal.
I’ve developed and nurtured excellent professional relationships with both the judges and prosecutors that handle criminal cases.

Edward Palermo Named TOP ONE PERCENT In The Nation!
For all that I’ve done, all those I’ve helped, I was selected to the Nation’s Top One Percent by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel. According to the NADC, all selections to the Top One Percent are vetted by a research team, a blue ribbon panel of attorneys and a judicial review board. “By virtue of the incredible selectivity of our appointment process, only the top one percent of attorneys in the United States are awarded membership in the NADC.”
Selection to the Top One Percent is a tremendous honor for any attorney.
As a Patchogue Criminal Defense Lawyer, inclusion with the select few prominent attorneys in this association is a great satisfaction. I continue to give the same level of professional service which has enabled my entry into this prestigious organization of lawyers.
Contact A Hands-On Patchogue Criminal Lawyer
I have never and will never take on more criminal cases that I can handle. Although I have a support staff which is always available to my clients, I’m the attorney who will personally resolve and take your case to trial if need be. I’ve seen a lot of criminal lawyers practice in volume, taking more cases than they can handle. This diminishes the attention they can spend on your case. These types of lawyers – and there are many – cannot give you a fraction of the personalized attention I can devote toward you and your case.
I’ve had many clients retain me after they’ve already started off with another attorney. They are very appreciative of the attention I afford them. I am extremely direct and take a one-on-one approach with all my clients, never handing off cases to other partners of my staff as other attorneys do. You deserve ONE highly-successful attorney to handle your case, and that’s what I offer. Clients facing criminal charges are already stressed. When their attorney passes their case around, this just adds more stress and worry to the table. You’ll never have to worry about that with me. When you retain me as your attorney, I will be there for you at the conception of your case until the resolution. Feel free to contact us today at (516) 280-2160 to schedule a complimentary consultation.
