I highly recommend my lawyer! He was able to get my charge reduced from a misdemeanor to a traffic violation. He always took the time to explain what was going to happen at each court date, and everything played out exactly how he said it would. Very knowledgeable and great at what he does. If anyone is looking for a reliable and effective lawyer, he’s the one to go to!

I cannot say enough good things about Ed Palermo. He’s easy to talk to, always available to reach by text, very knowledgeable about the in’s and out’s of the law, respected by his peers, will do everything possible to help his client and he worked very hard to get me the resolution that I desired.
His over 30 years of experience really shows when he is in the courtroom. By watching him, I could tell that he had the respect and the attention of every person there. He gets results. I’m so glad that I chose Ed to represent me. I would highly recommend Mr. Palermo to anyone who needs an attorney to represent them.

Attorney Rafael Zapata is outstanding. With over 25 years of criminal defense experience and the ability to serve clients in both English and Spanish, he makes the process smooth and clear for everyone. His professionalism and dedication truly set him apart. Highly recommend this firm for anyone needing trusted legal representation.

Ed did an AMAZING job for me. I got my 2nd DWI within 7 years...driving with a revoked license from the first DWI. I had 5 charges at all thrown at me. Ed managed to get me the greatest deal. Only charge was DWI (which I deserved). Unreal.
Thanks Ed!!!;

I cannot recommend Mr. Edward Palermo highly enough. I was facing both a DWI charge and a refusal to blow, and it was one of the scariest times of my life. I didn’t know what to expect, but from the very beginning, Mr. Palermo treated me like a person, not just another case!!! He answered every call, text, and question I had without judgment and with total patience and support.

He is extremely knowledgeable and respected in the courtroom, exactly what you need when you're dealing with something this serious. He truly cared about me and was fully focused on getting the best possible outcome. The District Attorney was adamant about giving me probation, but Mr. Palermo wouldn’t give up. He fought hard for me, and because of his commitment, I received a conditional discharge with no probation, something I didn’t think was even possible.

If you're fighting a DWI or a refusal case and need someone who knows the system, will stand by you, and fight for you til the end, Mr. Palermo is the attorney you want in your corner! I can’t thank you enough Mr. Palermo!!!!
