Great lawyer. Wonderful experience.

As a first time business owner, I was a little nervous going through this process; but Bob made sure to explain every step, clearly. Any question or issue that arose, he was on top of immediately. If he didn't have the answer right away, he made sure to do the research and made sure that I stayed in ...the loop, the entire time. He was always available and was very knowledgeable on the entire process that I went through, so that made it much more comfortable for me. He was honest about everything, and I appreciated that. He was a pleasure to work with, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him in the future. Thank you, Bob.

He made a BAD situation tolerable...

After 34 years of holding a NYS Liquor License...I had it taken away...my own fault. I feel very lucky to have been given this man's name. He acted swiftly, with expertise and worked miracles to secure a reasonable outcome. I not only would recommend him...I wish he and his wife lived closer an...d I could get to know them! Hire him!

Honestly, a truely knowledgeable and great lawyer. A Gem.

Best lawyer experience I've ever encountered. He's a heaven sent. We only had 2 months to open our bar and we had a situation that required a SLA hearing. We've called around a lot and only Bob was confident and knowledgeable enough to truly understand our situation. Bob gave us a thorough free consu...lt and then got to work right away. He was a pleasure to work with. Always prompt, truthful, respectful, professional and fun! He's got connections that helped us speed up the long process and was able to answer our complicated questions. We were able to get our temp quickly. He made the hearing process painless and successful. He never left us hanging. Saw us through, right to the end. I can't say enough how very essential he was to our success. If you need a liquor license and want it done right and quickly, Bob's the guy to call. If you're worried about the fees of hiring a lawyer, stop, Bob is worth every penny. It's not worth the headache, lost revenue and lost reputation if you do it wrong or drag it out. Just wish he operated in other states to help our new locations.

SLA ISSUES

The process with the SLA can be difficult and tedious. Before hiring Bob we went to several different lawyers but ultimately we hired Bob because he was the only one who made things clear and was truly genuine. He is very accommodating and is always available. He walked us through all of our possible... solutions and he genuinely cared and wanted to help our difficult situation. We highly recommend him to anyone.

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.
