Outstanding Attorney

I found Eric Dinnocenzo through Avvo as it was important to me that my case was given the attention I thought it deserved and I didn't want my case lost in the shuffle. His reviews convinced me that he was the Attorney I was looking for. He's a fantastic lawyer and I'm confident to recommend him to ...anyone looking for an Attorney that is brilliant, hard working and attentive. More importantly he gives you results. I hired Eric for an employment discrimination case and his skill and performance was far beyond my expectations and just fantastic. We were up against an extremely large company with an endless amount of money to litigate. Not only was Eric exremely effective but most importantly he was available every step of the way, was quick to answer emails and calls and made me very comfortable with the process. Additionally, he moved the case along expeditiously and the outcome was fantastic. If you're looking for an Attorney that will win for you and be with you along the process hire Eric!

Very good experience, excellent attorney

Eric took on our housing discrimination case and handled it beautifully. The case was resolved quickly and efficiently and our settlement definitely exceeded our expectations. I tried to stop negotiations at one point because I thought we should consider a lower offer but he felt we should be better... compensated and advised us to hang on. It all worked out really well for us. Do not hesitate to hire Eric, he's very smart and well prepared.

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.
