Chris Palermo, Esq.
Chris Palermo, Esq. has been a partner at Palermo Law, P.L.L.C. since 2004 and has spent more than two decades advocating for New Yorkers during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. He earned his undergraduate degree from Villanova University in 1996 and received his Juris Doctor from Touro College Law Center in 2001.
After law school, Chris joined the firm founded by his brothers, Edward and Steven Palermo, helping to build Palermo Law into one of Long Island’s most trusted personal injury firms. From the beginning of his career, Chris has taken a client-first approach to practicing law—one grounded in clear communication, patience, and persistence.
Chris is known for keeping clients informed at every stage of their case. He takes the time to explain the process, answer questions, and make sure clients understand their options, so they never feel left in the dark. His calm, empathetic demeanor helps clients feel supported, while his strong negotiation skills and willingness to stand firm helps drive meaningful results.
That combination of compassion and resolve has contributed to the firm’s overall success, including recovering more than $75 million for injured clients, earning over 400 five-star Google reviews, and being recognized as Best of Long Island. Chris’s dedication to service, responsiveness, and results reflects the values Palermo Law was built on—and the standard clients can expect when they trust the firm with their case.
