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.

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.

Bob, Not Mr. Romano - Made Licensing in the difficult downtown Buffalo, Possible!

Bob was simply a god send. It is extremely difficult to get a liquor license approved in downtown Buffalo's booming entertainment district, and it was Bob that made that venture possible. We strategized and he gave me sound advice and thorough coaching that made the whole process a breeze. I am by... no means a public speaker and upon the hearing for my 500 ft rule, though nervous as hell, Bob's guidelines allowed me to confidently answer and address all objections/stipulations by the city with ease. If you want a peace of mind for your Liquor License process, go with Bob. I'm located at the MES Lounge in downtown Buffalo, find me. I'll personally vouch for Bob's services. Thanks Bob.

Understands the process, dependable, professional

Bob helped us navigate the bureaucracy and made sure we were prepared for our hearing and all the administrative work that lead up to it. He represented us in for both our real estate needs and the state liquor authority - both turned out as we wanted. thanks bob.

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.
