Edward Palermo

I've personally defended over 2,000 people across Nassau & Suffolk for 31 years. Tell me what happened and I'll text you back. 31+ Years Defending Long Island Residents Across Nassau, Suffolk & The Hamptons I am Ed Palermo, and for over 31 years, I have stood between my clients and the state. I have never been a prosecutor. I have never carried a DA’s office credential. My entire career has been dedicated exclusively to defending people accused of crimes and DWI offenses across Long Island under New York Penal Law and New York Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192. When the government builds a case against you, your career, your freedom, and your future are all at stake. I bring three decades of pure criminal defense experience to every client, every case, every day. Because each county’s District Attorney handles these cases differently, I maintain dedicated pages on my Nassau County DWI and Suffolk County criminal defense practice. I am a 7-Time Best Lawyer on Long Island (2019-2024 & 2026), a New York Law Journal Trailblazer Award winner, and the founder of Palermo Law P.L.L.C. with three offices serving clients across Long Island. More importantly, I personally answer every client call. When you hire me, you get me. Not a junior associate. Not a paralegal. Not an intake coordinator. Me, directly, from your first call to the final resolution of your case. I will answer all of your questions. I will explain the criminal charges you face. I will explain potential strategies to win your case. New clients ALWAYS feel better after they speak to me.
