Knowledge – Responsiveness – Advocate - Partner

Mr. Romano is an incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and proactive straight shooter. Bob helped me through a sticky lease situation for a Liquor Store and brought swift conclusions with outstanding results. Bob is down to earth and has an amazing ability to translate complicated legal situations t...o a level that not only could I understand but ultimately benefit from greatly. When seeking an Attorney to obtain your Liquor License, there is simply NO ONE better to have in your corner. He’s your Attorney and your Partner and will navigate you through the astoundingly complicated task of obtaining your license.

Review for Robert Romano NYSLA

Mr. Romano (Bob), helped us thoroughly in obtaining a NYS Liquor Permit. He walked us through the process, which in our case included some extra details. He was hard working, and a pleasure to work with. He is a true professional who is dedicated to his clients. I would recommend him without any re...servations. My business partners and I felt as if Bob focused all of his attention on our case, and for people who don't know the particulars of this application, it put us at ease. Thank you.

Best NYS Liquor Attorney!!!

I worked with Bob Romano on getting our approval with the State Liquor Authority (NY) and it was nothing short of a pleasure to deal with. He answered his phone every time i called, was responsive to emails and was extremely professional and capable. I would refer him without reservation to anyone... needing his services.

Very straightforward, responds to messages same day, does not "pad" his billable hours, and is extremely knowledgeable.

My husband and I hired Robert Romano to handle a business deal for us on the recommendation of a professional that we trust. Mr. Romano is extremely knowledgeable, but if he isn't sure about something, he immediately does his research so that he knows exactly what he is talking about. I found this ...very reassuring. If I called with a question, he either got back to me right away, or called to let me know that his schedule was so booked that he would get back to me the next day. The one word I would use to describe Robert is "conscientious". He really does care about getting things right for his clients. I've had enough experience with attorneys that I consider that fact alone quite remarkable. I also really appreciated the fact that his rates are so reasonable. If he talks to you for 5 minutes, he doesn't round that up to a quarter hour and then bill you $100 for your 5 minute call, which plenty of attorneys consider standard practice. That said, of course, Mr. Romano does not have time to listen to clients go on and on, so as in any client/attorney interaction, he mostly needs to stick to the matter at hand. Over time, though, my husband and I both started thinking of Robert as kind of like a really fun acquaintance because he is just a pleasure to be around. He has a great sense of humor - with a slightly 'dark' edge to it - but what other kind of humor could an attorney have? Robert is extremely responsible and fair. My husband and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone in need of a business attorney.

Outstanding & Professional

Bob has been my attorney for business and personal matters for the past 7 plus years. He is excellent in all business aspects and his professional manner and experience have worked well for me. He is a "true business partner". More important I trust him....

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.
