Wise, reasonable and relevant counsel

Domenic and his team have been supporting both of our businesses and personal affairs for nearly five years. We've worked with a lot of lawyers but none that take the time to really consider what we're trying to accomplish. Most find reasons not to, Domenic finds the way.

Great experiences with fantastic attorney and team

I've been a Romano Law client for several years and I can't say enough great things about my experiences with Domenic and the entire Romano Law team. I'm a retail brand owner and I've had the pleasure of working with Domenic, Shaliz, and Sid on a number of important contracts for my business includi...ng a celebrity endorsement deal, a merchandising licensing agreement, a media services agreement, and a stock purchase agreement and I was extremely pleased with the work quality, attentiveness, and outcome in every case. I've always been struck by the level of commitment and care that the entire team had in making sure that my interests were being protected as well as always taking the extra time to walk me through complex legal processes when needed and providing valuable guidance to me. I wholeheartedly recommend Domenic and his team!
