Great professional

Mr.Romano was very professional. He was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend him if you need your work settled in a timely manner.

Highly Recommended Lawyer for SLA applications and issues

We’ve worked with Robert Romano both times we went before the NY SLA for wine and spirits licenses. He’s professional, warm, genuine, and has a very good rapport with the SLA administrators and board members. We enjoy working with him and he has consistently delivered with the outcomes and results th...at we hired him to achieve.

Mr.HYPE, But cannot support his client at the hearing

He hypes up his capability when it’s time to hire him. Then when it’s time for the hearing leaves the client stranded and provides no support. I believe these ratings are fake. I used this attorney twice and he did not efficiently present the case twice. Instead he put the mic towards me when it was... time for him to speak and defend. Gives good advice but You’ll be better off just hiring a consultant instead of paying a large premium to BOB

Best Attorney

I called for the first time last Friday and him himself answered the phone . We talked for 35 mins and we both understood each other right away . He is a straight forward person. This is the best in the business .

Restored our Faith in Attorneys

I was referred to Mr Romano from colleagues and based on his known expertise. He was very thorough from the start, asking appropriate questions and evaluating all the data. Mr Romano was very patient and just as quick to respond and provide reassurance for any questions that came up. His knowledge l...evel and humor made the entire process calm and stress-less. Mr Romano's paralegal is just as efficient and knowledgeable, and assisted every step of the way in getting the required documentation and previous filings. She consistently provided reassurance in a professional and kind manner. We are so very grateful to have been recommended this team!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
