One of a Kind!

Bob was referred to us by one of our good friends and we couldn’t be more excited with the end results. We were in the process of buying an existing liquor store and needed assistance in obtaining licensing with the SLA and review our commercial lease. We consulted with multiple lawyers and not one h...ad the ability to do both. From our first initial consultation with Bob, we knew he was well versed and knowledgeable in both fields. The communication was excellent between us and he did not hesitate on answering any of the questions we had - trust me, we ask A LOT of questions. Patient, knowledgeable, professional and experienced would sum up Bob in a nutshell. He was able to negotiate our commercial lease as well as obtain licensing for us in a timely manner. He would give us honest feedback, consistently follow up with the necessary parties and would always answer our calls. What sets him apart is how personable he is, at times it seems like you are talking an old time friend! We HIGHLY recommend Bob to anyone seeking an attorney! Will continue to reach out to him in the future!

I own a small restaurant in upstate New York and Bob assisted us in getting our liquor license. He is friendly, honest and will get the job done! We had a few obstacles to hurdle in the permitting and Bob was able to resolve the issues for us. His assistant Claudia was super friendly, timely and tho...rough. We are opening a new business next summer and will use him again!

Robert Romano is hands down one of the top liquor attorneys around. He is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He was extremely patient with all my questions and concerns. He was also very honest from the beginning on how the process will be. With his help and guidance I was able to obtain my l...iquor license. I don’t think I could have done it without him honestly. Best of the best !

  • 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.
