Client Review:
I highly recommend Mr. Colleluori for anyone in need of an attorney. Mr. Colleluori took the time to listen to my story, sympathized with my plight and then offered to handle my difficult case Pro Bono after the first attorney I had was pushing me to walk away from it without justice being done. He has always made time for me when I needed to talk to him, whether it was about my case or just life's difficulties in general. He is more than just knowledgeable in the law. As kind hearted as Mr. Colleluori is, he was also tough as nails when it came to representing me and got me the deserved end result. He is quite a force to be reckoned with when pushed past politeness. Yet he was nothing but caring and professional when in my presence.

Anthony Colleluori stepped up to the plate.Posted by: luz, a Discrimination client, 2010-10-12 over 1 year ago. Flag
Client Review:
After going through many lawyers in which direction we should go. Anthony came in and took control of the situation. This was a discrimination case that no other lawyer wanted to tackle. There were times when we though that justice was not going to be given for the violations thrust at me. Anthony came in did all he could to make this case heard in such a proffesional way, that the result was a victory for those who are discriminated upon in the workplace. With Anthony's help our case is now going to be in the Federal records for future victims to be able to resourse their litigations againts those violators who feel that they are above the law.

Lawyer's Comment: This client withheld important evidence and information that resulted in the dismissal of her law suit at a great expense to our law firm. Additionally we expended further hours representing her on other matters that were ancillary to her case and now she is unwilling to pay a fair fee for same. We dispute her claims and will not be held hostage for fees we have earned because a disgruntled client files an unfounded claim against us. Just as we fight hard for others, we will fight hard for our own interests if someone tries to take advantage of our largesse.

Lawyer's Comment: Dispite the extensive 16 page retainer agreement i have with my clients for the litigation practice I sustain, we all have those who wish to avoid their responsibilities, even with those of us who try to help them. For those reading this post of an dissatisfied customer, please judge the lawyer above with kindness and reflect on all the praise worthy of this forum. This poor recommendation smells like sour grapes and does not belong here as written. It does not inform or explain the prejudice provided.

I would high recommend Anthony Collelouri. I started off my case with a different lawyer. It took him close to 4months to develope a case, but when i switched lawyers to Anthony he handled my case in half the time. He is very experienced, honest, and very family oriented.. Truely saved my family!!
Mr. Colleluori is an Awesome Attorney!Posted by: a Family client, 2009-02-04 about 3 years ago. Flag
Client Review:
Mr. Colleluori assisted me when my married daughter appeared to be in a domestic violence situation in Canada. Having moved there before a US passport was necessary, she had no passport and expired US indentification and couldn't re-enter the US. I was panicked over how to get her to safety and Mr. Colleluori immediately started gathering information for me on what to do, what attorney's there would help when I arrived (thanks to his extensive networking), even what to do if a Bounty Hunter's help was needed. I was terrified and yet had much more confidence as I booked a flight one night for the next morning, also having spoken to the US Consulate. He acted in a very speedy yet professional manner. I would not have known what to do when I arrived if not for him. I took her to the Consulate for her passport issues and she is now safe and sound. I can not express my gratitude enough for this Attorney at a time when I had little faith in his profession. I highly recommend Mr. Colleluori!

I can't say enough good things about Mr. Anthony Colleluori. I arrived at my appointment shaken and upset - which is how it feels when a law abiding citizen suddenly finds himself on the wrong side of the law. I suddenly felt like a patient in the hands of a good Doctor. He listened carefully to every word I said, answered every question and thoroughly examined the facts. I was extremely impressed by his knowledge and that of Amy Hsu - another attorney at his office.
In the midst of a difficult process - it is so comforting to know that there is a defense attorney like Mr. Colleluori ready to give all of his boundless energy and commitment to a case. He is a skilled professional who is also extremely personable. I highly recommend him and am extremely grateful to him for everything he has done for me.

Lawyer's Comment: Interestingly, this "client" was charged with a heavy felony, had almost no ties to the State of NY, and I was able to get him out on bail on his first appearance before a judge. I spent over 15 hours meeting, investigating, planning, travelling and appearing for this person over a weekend! When I left the courthouse they loved me and made a substantial first payment on their fee.
A week later they "hired" another less expensive counsel. I returned the unused portion of their fee and reduced the fee I earned by a third. They wanted me to reduce it by 2/3!! Evidentially they feel a lawyer is not entitled to receive the fare pay for his time. I appreciate their acknowledgement of my knowledge, however I dispute the rest of their evaluation as being sour grapes about the fee.

Mr. Colleluori was the only reason I was able to make it through my criminal case ok. Not only did he put in 100% of his efforts and keep me constantly informed of the process of the case, but he made sure that he was there for me emotionally. His efforts resulted in my charges getting dropped. I absolutely recommend him- he is probably the most experienced and kind-hearted lawyer you will ever find.

Client Review:
Mr. Colleluori was the greatest person I could have asked to defend me. He took the time to listen to my whole explanation and carefully explain to me how everything works. I was extremely nervous since it was my first run in with the law but Mr. Colleluori did everything possible to assure me that it would be taken care of. He is extremely friendly and understanding. He took care of my case and did a spectacular job. I would trust him under any circumstances, the man knows his stuff. I assure the best legal advice with Mr. Colleluori.
MANSLAUGHTER TO MISDEMEANORPosted by: a Criminal Defense client, 2008-03-02 almost 4 years ago. Flag
Client Review:
Mr. Colleluori is a one in million attorney. He is beyond thorough and more than capable for any legal dilemma one may encounter. He thinks outside the box and is genuinely concerned for the welfare and interests of his client, unlike most self aggrandizing attorney's. And, most of all he is down to earth and a good man. A fifteen minute encounter will prove this true.
Mr. Colleluori saved my life in 1992 when I was 16 years old and arrested in Nassau County on a Manslaughter charge, facing the rest of my life in a state prison. Within six months I was released on time served for a misdemeanor. This was a feat no average attorney could accomplish; thus, Mr. Colleluori is one in a million.

Client Review:
I was accused of employee theft about 6 months ago for supposedly stealing money from my boss (i.e. skimming off the top) of business transactions. Mr. Colleluori and his staff quickly investigated the case and exposed my co-worker as trying to set me up. He personally made sure that I was kept updated of the situation and his staff quickly and efficiently found out the truth and they were able to pull me from the fire. Due to his actions I was able to get my job and life back and am still employed with the same company. His experience, courtroom presence and the respect other lawyers have for him is unparalleled by any other lawyer I have ever worked with. I would highly recommend him and his firm for any legal problems one might face.
Outstanding Lawyer & PersonPosted by: a Car Accident client, 2007-06-07 over 4 years ago. Flag
Client Review:
Was involved in an accident and received bogus tickets. Mr. Colleluori came to visit me (6 hours away from his office) to ensure that I was okay. He is the type of lawyer that actually cares about his clients. After the accident, he personally took care of the tickets and his office kept my family and I updated frequently. The kind of attention that he gave to such a small case should make clients with more serious problems know that Mr. Colleluori and his firm will be there for them.
