Outstanding advocate for my case (NY State Division of Human Rights - Disability Discrimination (Employment))

From the time that I met Eric Dinnocenzo, Esq. through this long litigation, he has been very, very honest and straight forward in keeping myself focused on the winning points of our case. His due diligence and lawyer skills are outstanding. He kept me and himself full informed and aware what was h...appening in our case through his in-depth discovery and subpoenaing needed witnesses. He maintained a cordial relationship with the opposing lawyers without giving away the winning strategies that ultimately won our case. Sometimes, I was discouraged and not focused on the winning strategy. He would gently persuade me to look at the main focus of our case (which was necessary to keep in mind throughout the trial process). On things that we were at odds on, he would give me his fair & frank advice on what he thought I should do. He still left the main decisions that I had to make to me after giving me his full and honest legal opinion. We work well as a team as I provided him crucial evidence or information needed to enhance the winning strategy that we were pursuing. He worked very, very hard on discovery with other witnesses and recovering needed information from the opposing lawyers. All deadlines where and when we had to be, he ensured that I was fully informed and that I knew where I had to be (trial, appointments, etc.). His diligence is so "on-point" that he actually notified me from his vacation via email in a foreign country to let me know that we had won the case. Any difficulties that arose, he made it seem that he was always "on my side step by step" and he simplified the legal aspects of the case so my anxieties was very low concerning the whole long process of the litigation. Eric Dinnocenzo is a lawyer that you want representing you in a complex litigation. This particular case dealt with my employer not providing a reasonable accommodation to my work injury disability (which had resulted in myself being temporarily disabled). He was very capable and astute in preventing the opposing lawyers from sidetracking our strategy that ultimately was the correct one for winning the case. His trial demeanor was calm, persistent and focused to getting the Trial Judge to understand the truth of what had happened to me. He was very diligent in getting the witnesses to reveal needed inforamtion in their testimony concerning what we were trying to reveal & prove to win our case. His legal briefs (verbal & written) submitted were done in an outstanding expert manner that reflected a very excellent understanding of the law and precedents. Overall, I was very, very satisfied with Eric's representation in our case. I don't think I could have won the case without his expert and professional legal representation. If you come across this review, please feel free and call Mr. Eric J. Dinnocenzo, Esq. right away to represent you. You most definitely want him on your case representing you.

Professionalism and Ehtic is alive and well in New York, with Dinnocenzo Esq.

I have lived and work in New York for the last thirty years, during which, as a businessman I encountered my shares of litigation and trips to the Court House, experiencing various performance of different lawyers. Eric Dinnocenzo has a place on his own when he came to performance, response, and tru...stworthiness; while others lawyer will take days to get back to you on the phone, Eric is always a phone call away, ready to help or keeping you inform on the case being litigate. His knowledge on Landlord/Tenant dispute is unsurpassed, combined with old school European flair, create a truly powerful rappresentation. It is a true pleasure and honor for me to recommended Eric Dinnocenzo, one of the best lawyer in NYC, that I had the luck to engaged and litigate on my behalf.

A Truly Terrific Lawyer

Mr. Dinnocenzo is an excellent lawyer; truly amazing. I hired Mr. Dinnocenzo to help me with a life insurance policy left by my father who passed away. The life insurance had stated that one of the policies would not be paid to me due some reasons. After speaking with Mr. Dinnocenzo about my case he ...was willing to give my case a try and in around four months, he resolved my legal issues in cost effective manner, and very efficiently. As I live in Florida due to school, I was a bit skeptical about his willingness to help me since I would only be able to contact him via phone or e-mail. Mr. Dinnocenzo showed no hesitancy and worked with me each step of the way, always kindly answering any questions I had. Throughout the whole process he continuously kept in contact with me to let me know how things were going; the next steps to take, etc. I am more than happy to recommend Mr. Dinnocenzo for people's legal matters. He truly makes the client feel more calm and always lets you know the possible outcomes in regards to your case without ever giving false hope. He is a very professional, caring, and compassionate lawyer. I would recommend Mr. Dinnocenzo to anyone who is seeking legal help.

Excellent honest service

We were in quite a jam and through Avvo we received Eric's number. He met with us immediately and walked us through the options. He was attentive and patient in his correspondence and did not leave any questions unanswered. He worked with us on our budget and guided us through court. While in cou...rt he showed a confident hand and kept us informed about each step and advised us through various scenarios making sure that even with an immediate decision it would not be rash. We highly recommend Eric Dinnocenzo as he is very fair, honest and a great person to have on your side during a scenario you would rather not be in.
