Robert Romano is the BEST.

Attorney Romano was on top of the whole process for getting my Liquor License. The process went quickly and smoothly. I have heard stories about how difficult it is to get a license and the process can take months. I had my license within 3 weeks. No hassles for me. It was wonderful. I would re...commend Attorney Romano to anyone applying for a liquor license.

Bob did a amazing job !!!

I went to Bob after a friend recommended him, and was skeptical at first,but I guess that's my nature, and ended up being pleasantly surprised. The process of acquiring the Liquor License was shorter that I expected. I got the license in less time than the other bar owners I spoke with. Bob was on to...p of things, answered the phone every time I called with a question, and pushed me to do what I needed to do (sometimes I need a kick in the ass to get moving, thanks Bob). I don't think there is anyone better and I would recommend Robert Romano to anyone who has any needs related to the Liquor Authority. Thanks Bob

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.

Liquor Licensing

This so long over due for Mr. Romano. His assistance, knowledge, guidance and patience is what assisted our dining establishment in getting our liquor license in under a year. If I had a question be it after 6pm or on a Sunday, Mr. Romano was always available. Mr. Romano never lost his patience wi...th me even if he had answered the questions previously or he truly spelled out what paperwork was needed, he guided me on who to contact and for what as well we why. Without Mr. Romano and his legal knowledge and guidance we'd still be waiting for our liquor license. I would recommend Mr. Robert Romano to all that looking to apply for a liquor license in NY.

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.
