The best lawyer

As an experienced restauranteur, I know how hard it can be to obtain a liquor license in New York state. I also know it can take a very long time. Robert did an excellent job, and was extremely helpful in making the process go quickly and smoothly…We got our license exactly like Bob said we would, a...nd on time! Bob also went out of his way to help with other problems we had, and didn’t even think twice about doing it. I would highly recommend Bob to anybody who has any matters concerning the State Liquor Authority or their restaurant/bar in general. Thanks again Bob!

Bob did a amazing job !!!

I went to Bob after a friend recommended him, and was skeptical at first,but I guess that's my nature, and ended up being pleasantly surprised. The process of acquiring the Liquor License was shorter that I expected. I got the license in less time than the other bar owners I spoke with. Bob was on to...p of things, answered the phone every time I called with a question, and pushed me to do what I needed to do (sometimes I need a kick in the ass to get moving, thanks Bob). I don't think there is anyone better and I would recommend Robert Romano to anyone who has any needs related to the Liquor Authority. Thanks Bob

Best in STATE

Bob is a very honest and very competent lawyer. I would not hesitate referring Bob to any friend, or associate. Got my liquor license with out any problems or snafus. And it came ahead of the anticipated date from the state.

An Excellent Choice for SLA Matters

My partner and I wanted to open a wine store. We did not use an attorney when we submitted our application for a license, and it was denied. We decided to hire an attorney before requesting reconsideration. Watching videos of past hearings at the SLA Web site, we noticed that some of the most effecti...ve presentations were by Robert Romano. So we hired Bob for our appeal. We were amazed at the results. He immediately went to work, studying the history of our case and discussing every factor involved. Bob is clearly respected by the SLA staff. When he submitted our reconsideration request to the SLA, it was accepted and placed on the agenda in a matter of days, instead of the usual weeks. As the time for the hearing approached, I worried about what kind of presentation we should make, but Bob has a specific approach he has honed in years of experience in SLA hearings. During the hearing he responded carefully to every issue raised. This time we won approval. My partner and I could not be more pleased with Bob's services.

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.
