About Todd D.
Todd D. Palumbo graduated from the University of Texas School of Law in 2007. He earned his J.D. the same year he began working in a small New Jersey practice. Education set the stage for a steady legal career anchored in state-level criminal and traffic matters.
His first post-law school role was at The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall in 2007. That role gave him early courtroom exposure and daily contact with criminal dockets. Two years later he opened the Law Office of Todd Palumbo. Running his own practice sharpened his client-handling skills and his grasp of local court procedures.
In 2016 he became a partner at Lubiner, Schmidt & Palumbo, LLC. The move placed him in a firm environment while preserving the hands-on client work he had cultivated as a solo practitioner. At the firm he shares responsibility for managing cases and advising clients through arrests, arraignments and hearings.
Certifications play a visible role in his practice. He is certified as an Alcotest Operator on Drager equipment. He also holds certification from NHTSA as a Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Administrator. Those qualifications are relevant to cases where breath testing and roadside procedures are contested. They inform how he evaluates evidence and prepares cross-examination of testing procedures and operators.
Palumbo is a member of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. His association with that group signals interest in drug policy and the evolving legal landscape around marijuana offenses. He practices in New Jersey and handles matters that intersect with state law, municipal procedures and changing statutory frameworks.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in case preparation and straightforward in advising clients. He often guides people through the immediate legal steps after an arrest and through longer-term options such as plea negotiation or trial. His career path—small firm, solo practice, partnership—has given him experience on both sides of case management and client counseling.
He maintains certifications relevant to impaired-driving evidence and stays involved in discussions about marijuana law reform. He currently practices at Lubiner, Schmidt & Palumbo, LLC in New Jersey, handling DUI defense, traffic offenses, criminal matters and marijuana-related cases.
