He graduated cum laude in 1975, with a B.S. in Public Safety Administration and a minor in History.
Mr. Palma was accepted into the evening program at Seton Hall University School of Law, where he earned a Juris Doctor in May 1979. He then passed the bar exam given in July 1979, when the state bar’s passing rate was at an all time low of only 47%.

Upon his swearing in, Mr. Palma was promoted to Assistant Prosecutor, and then moved up the ranks to become Chief of the Juvenile Investigation Division, and then into the Adult Trial Division.
In January 1982, Mr. Palma made the switch to private practice by becoming an Associate at a local law firm, where his diligent work was rewarded with a partnership.
In 1990, he created the Law Offices of Nicholas J. Palma, Esq., P.C., where he proudly serves the Greater New York City Area.
