Top Liquor Attorney

Mr. Romano is the best liquor attorney that I have ever worked with. We won our case easily. Made great points and had a strong plan in place

Highly Recommended for NY SLA Matters

Bob helped me with a Covid violation and a corporate change on my liquor license. He not only got a favorable (and very rare) outcome for the Covid violation, but made the tedious process of applying for a corporate change much easier. He was always available to answer questions, worked quickly, and ...is extremely well-versed in liquor laws. I cannot speak more highly of Bob. He made an otherwise difficult time for my restaurant better, and I am very grateful to have crossed paths with him. Thanks Bob, for everything!

Best attorney in the liquor business!

We were referred to Bob in September 2020 for a new liquor store license application. After just minutes on the phone, I immediately knew this was attorney that was going to make this happen for us. He knows the SLA inside and out and knows exactly what they’re looking for to get a license approved. ...He gave us real expectations and explained exactly how the process was going to go. Ive heard many horror stories about how harsh the SLA can be, so I was really expecting the worst. To my surprise, after just 5 months of submitting our application we got a full board approval for our store! Bob was always a text or phone call away for the entire length of the process. I urge anyone who is looking for legal assistance with NYS liquor authority matters to reach out to Bob. He is heaven sent and I cant thank him enough! We really could not have gotten that approval without him!!

BEST ATTORNEY IN THE INDUSTRY

Without Bob, I would probably be out of business. Was handed a summary suspension of a liquor license. Thanks to Bob, I had my certificate returned in less than two weeks. I can’t emphasize enough his thoroughness, understanding and caring for his client. I felt like he truly understood my side and h...e helped me understand the legal side. If you’re lucky enough to hire this man, you won’t regret it.

Avvo Rating

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.
