Mr.HYPE, But cannot support his client at the hearing

He hypes up his capability when it’s time to hire him. Then when it’s time for the hearing leaves the client stranded and provides no support. I believe these ratings are fake. I used this attorney twice and he did not efficiently present the case twice. Instead he put the mic towards me when it was... time for him to speak and defend. Gives good advice but You’ll be better off just hiring a consultant instead of paying a large premium to BOB

I do not know this "client" Clinton, but if he were to have reached out to me, and let me know his dissatisfaction, I would have been happy to discuss a way to come to a mutually acceptable resolution. Needless to say, I don't want an unhappy client.; even just one. I was pleased to see that he felt I gave him good advice, and he felt that I did well enough to use me a second time.

Best Attorney

I called for the first time last Friday and him himself answered the phone . We talked for 35 mins and we both understood each other right away . He is a straight forward person. This is the best in the business .

My HERO!

Where do I start. I used another expeditor to help me get my liquor license. They helped me get the temp while waiting for the permanent license. They filed it wrong! Blamed it on us! And I couldn’t get my permanent!! My business came to a halt! Had to lay off workers and everything. I was in tears. ...I found Me. Robert Romano! My Hero! Left a message on the weekend!! And he still called me back at 9:00pm!! Heard my story out, told me it’s not the end of the world, we will be up and running in a month and to. 2 months! With his directions, I got my temp back in 2 months and we were back on track! I was in tears with happiness! With all my heart, thank you Robert and his team!

Rock Solid Lawyer!

I had a problem with my liquor license, and Robert got the job done. Period When you hire a lawyer, you just want them to fix the problem , and that he did. Fast, efficiently, and was a great value for the dollar. He clearly explained the process and ramifications every step of the way an...d it was definitely a bonus that he was a real straightforward nice guy to deal with. I sincerely hope to never have to work with him again, because no one wants problems, but when they come up, you want the best person for the job and for my situation Robert was It. I would definitely work with him again and have referred him to several of my colleagues.

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.
