Biography

Steven Joseph Palermo, Esq., car accidents attorney serving Hauppauge

With more than two decades of experience, Steven Palermo is a Long Island personal injury attorney who brings both professional skill and personal insight to every case. Raised in Huntington as the middle brother between Edward and Christopher, he learned early to listen, mediate, and collaborate — qualities that shaped the firm he built with his siblings. Steven’s commitment to injured clients is informed by his own injuries: a college lacrosse knee injury that ended his athletic career and a later, severe car crash that required extensive recovery and exposed him to insurance delays and blame-shifting. After an initial stint in criminal defense, he devoted his practice entirely to personal injury, securing hundreds of settlements and verdicts, including notable multi‑million‑dollar results. He practices primarily on Long Island, working closely with medical providers and experts and emphasizing communication, preparation, and relentless advocacy from the first consultation through resolution.
