Vincent is extremely intelligent, very responsive, and has exceptional analytical skills. Most of all, Vincent truly cares about his clients. Simply put, he is an exceptional attorney.

Misclassified subcontractor

Vincent did everything he promised. He negotiated a settlement beyond my expectations and did it in a professional manner. He answered my questions and e-mails promptly . I couldn’t recommend more strongly

Client

Its been pleasure working with Mr Antoniello, from day one to the end , on top of my case , answering my calls and emails immediately, walked through the case point by point and got me great settlement, highly recommended, thank you so much for your services, it’s been pleasure working with you

Posted by Shanetta | January 16, 2023

Highly recommend

I had another lawyer for my case and what was so great about Vincent is he listened to me and allowed me to present the facts to my case. He didn’t use his expertise to assume anything and was very good at clearly communicating with me through out the process.

Great negotiation skills

Hired Vincent to resolve employment issue. He was able to negotiate the issue to settlement. Very responsive, persistent with follow-ups, and presses hard in my favor. He is the right kind of lawyer if you are looking to resolve issues. I would recommend.

Wonderful and professional

I contacted Mr. Antoniello when my department at work was eliminated. I had no grievances against the company, but we did disagree on the amount of severance I was due, and so I wanted to determine if there were ways I could negotiate for more severance. I also thought it would be a good idea to contact an employment attorney before signing my severance agreement. I'm so glad I did, and I'm so glad I chose Mr. Antoniello. My employer did determine it had made a mistake with my severance and corrected it; but Mr. Antoniello found several mistakes in my severance agreement. Nothing that changed the outcome, but silly mistakes, like referring to sections in the agreement that didn't exist. Have to admit, it was kind of a pleasure to point that out to them. Even though it turned out that I didn't need Mr. Antoniello to press my employer about severance, I'm really glad I hired him. I feel so much more confident and relaxed about signing the severance agreement. I would have wondered for the rest of my life if I'd done the right thing. I understood all the elements of the agreement, but he gave me greater insights and deeper perspective about what the contents meant. And, a broader view of what the severance /termination process is all about. Throughout, his staff was very efficient and friendly, and Mr. Antoniello provided the most professional and expert advice possible. He was very cordial and warm, and took the time to listen to my questions and give me full answers, in plain language. In other words, he's a real human being, easy to talk to. I could not recommend him more highly. If you can afford to consult with an employment attorney (his rates seemed very reasonable to me), I highly recommend it, and Mr. Antoniello. You'll be glad you did.

Fantastic results

Vincent exceeded my expectations in a matter with my employer. The issue was resolved to my complete satisfaction with monetary compensation Vincent effectively negotiated. The office staff is quick, efficient and easy to work with. Thank you to Vincent and everyone in the office who worked on my issue!

Wonderful and terrifying

Vincent was wonderful! He listened to my case and was very educated/informative. He pushed and fought for me, and took every snarky internal response to my old job I had and translated them into intimidating legalese. Helpful and easy to work with. Thanks Vincent!

Vincent Antoniello

Knowledgeable and personable. Followup was immediate at all times. Skillful negotiator. Results driven. Guided me to understand key issues as process developed. Monetary settlement from defendants that rarely settle. Support staff accessible when needed.

Settled a protracted employment dispute

I was engaged in a long-drawn-out employment contract dispute. I retained Mr. Antoniello to fix that. He did and the matter has been settled. In the process he was very thorough, a great communicator, and clearly a subject matter expert. I trusted him and I felt confident that he was always protecting my interests which, at times, included telling me the hard facts about my case. Add responsiveness and candor to his list of professional qualities and you have the makings of a really fine attorney.
