Most caring lawyer in SLA

Over the years, I must dealt with at least ten attorneys. Mr. Romano is different. He helped me with my last two cases in SLA. By the way, we won the cases. Mr. Romano didn't want to settle for reduced fine because he believed that I had a fair Fight. He fought hard and got it dismissed at the end. I... was surprised by his character as an attorney. All these times, I thought lawyers only care about their time and money. Mr. Romano cares about you. Attorney like Mr. Romano is very hard to find these days.

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.

Liquor License

WOW, Bob and his team made this process incredibly simple. Working with the state of NY is not the easiest thing to do. Bob, made the calls and even had to extend our dates due to construction. Could not have done it without him.

Huge assistance with SLA license

While opening a restaurant in a particularly difficult New York City community Board, Bob was instrumental in helping us obtain both a Temporary License as well as a subsequent Full Alcoholic Beverage license while helping navigate the process. He was both diligent and followed up on many things to m...ake sure we had requirements fulfilled.

Wine Store Application

We had an inexplicably difficult time obtaining a wine store license for our resort property on Seneca Lake, and Bob successfully represented us in two SLA hearings to get an initial denial reversed.

  • 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.
