Jim has retired, but I still wanted to leave a review for him. I had a long divorce case and have gone through several attorneys--including ones from very well-known firms. Jim was the best of all of them and in one particular way, he saved my life. I hope somewhere he's out there and comes across this. He didn't allow for bullsh*t, he cut the noise and focused on the law and not on the nonsense or promoting anything but a strong narrative. He wasn't interested in prolonging my case, but on getting the best results quickly. He didn't allow people to get away with games and idiotic rants. He was also compassionate and gave me advice that turned out to be the best advice I could have received. I owe Mr Palmisano so much and his fees were always reasonable.

I am blessed to have him as my attorney. He is my 4th lawyer. The others have left me feeling abandoned, and broke with minimal results. Mr. Palmisano has great integrity and values. I witnessed him work hard to get a good result. He is aggressive and will not give up. I have seen the impossible become possible. Miracles do happen!

Mr. Palmisano represented me in a complicated international divorce case. He provided me with options, sound advice and solutions. His knowledge of the legal system inspired confidence during a difficult period. His staff is timely and efficient as well as helpful and courteous. I have a divorce agreement I can live with largely due to the attorney skills and efforts of Mr. Palmisano. I would recommend Mr. Palmisano to anyone looking for the same successful outcome.

Mr. Palmisano went above and beyond the call of duty in representing me in two separate but unrelated matters. His attention to detail was very thorough, but what I was most impressed with was the personal concern he demonstrated along every step of the way. I highly recommend Mr. Palmisano to anyone looking for a skilled attorney whose dedication to his clients is unparalleled.

Mr. Palmisano came highly recommended to me and he did a great job handling my very complicated divorce. He returned my phones calls and kept me focused on what was important for my child and I. He always took the time out to listen to me and what I felt was important even if it wasn't in the long run. I would recommend him to anyone who is going through a divorce and has children involved because he knows what he is talking about and will do his very best for you and your children.

He never made me any promises, he responded to any questions I had, and he was easy to work with.
