The best ever

I apologize for my English. Mr Romano you are truly the best.. I lost my license on Thursday night. I could not sleep all night. Had to close doors to my small business. I was desperate and didn’t know what to do. I found a number of an attorney that I never use for getting a liquor license. Brat.... I txt him at 5 AM and asked him to wake up for coffee and call me. He did not know me. his name is Brat. I hope I’m spelling it, right. He called me at 7:30 AM and said he cannot help me but he has a friend who handles license : and he will make sure his friends will call me. I was nervous and stressed. Had no idea what is happening that 30 minutes was like a year and that’s when my phone rings. Mr Romano took the time to listen to me and calm me down. And took care of my problem within 10 days and my small business was reopened . This man is truly the best, and I would highly recommend him to everyone out there. He is a miracle worker. Even after he got my liquor license back, he continue to check on me and help me with a few other things that were missing.. god bless his soul and his family. He really is the best . Make the long story short I owe a lot to this man. Hire him don’t even think twice.

Couldn’t have done it without Mr. Romano and his team. I had a dream, to have my own liquor store and he made it possible, his knowledge, experience and his team find every way to allow me to reach my goal. Now I am happy to let everyone know about the newly established liquor store in the heart of... Brentwood, where so many said is impossible, Mr Romano found the way. On the meeting day a particular comment made by one of the board members after the unanimous vote was “He hit the jackpot” and it really felt like one of the lottery winners walking away after collecting the winnings. I recommend Mr Romano and his team. Waste no time with anyone else trying to get or transfer a liquor license. This is the firm to go to. Sincerely, Hoober

I would give Bob six stars if it were an option. Working with Bob was an incredibly simple, easy and enjoyable process. He did exactly what he said he would do, perhaps even more. He explained the process in which I would be involved and what to expect during the process. He took care of everythi...ng so fast as he managed the process. All I had to do was provide the required information and he took the reigns from there. I would use Bob for any and all of his services.

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!
