Someone Who Truly Cares and Provides Invaluable Business Guidance

I highly recommend Bob for his exceptional legal expertise and genuine care for his clients. Initially hired to assist with a liquor license, Bob went above and beyond by identifying potential pitfalls in a lease agreement, ultimately saving me significant money and stress. His guidance and advice ha...ve been invaluable as I set up my business, offering not just legal support but also strategic insights. Bob’s approach is like that of a caring parent—always looking out for your best interests and ensuring you’re on the right path. If you want a lawyer who truly has your back, Bob is the one.

No stones left unturned- a lawyer you could trust

Bob is thorough and professional. On several occasions, he remedied the mistakes my other lawyers were making whether on a lease or an SLA application. My only regret is not knowing him earlier— he would have seen a lot of the outcomes and have prevented them before they became a detriment to my bu...sinesses.

He will look out for your best interest.

I can't say enough about Robert, he is definitely an expert in his field. He is knowledgable and very easy to talk to. He makes you feel confident in his ability right off the bat. I was recommended to Robert by my wife's company. After we had our first meeting we connected easily. Robert has repr...esented me since 2013, when I started looking for my first storefront. I did find potential locations and when we were at the point (more than once) of signing a lease, Robert was able to explain to me in plain English that the leases were not in my favor. I remember this when he said to me "This people want you to to fail before you even open the store" Well, finally in 2014 we were able to find a good location for my business and he did what he does best and helped me make the best deal I could. He is still representing me in other areas, and I would recommend him to anyone. Eduardo Accostupa Sumaq Design by Eduardo

Couldn't have done it without him!

Bobs responsiveness, attention to detail, and knowledge set him apart from the rest. He not only handled my liquor license with ease but got me the best deal possible with my Fortune 500 landlord. Lease negotiations went off without a hitch thanks to his expertise. I truly couldn't have done it witho...ut him.

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.

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.
