Robert has given me sound advice and representation in front of the board

I contacted Bob when the partner on my liquor license got in trouble. Bob represented me in front of the liquor authority and also gave me sound advice on. Estates. Extremely knowledgeable and responsive lawyer, even on weekends and off hours. I have him on the top of my contact list

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.

Couldn’t have done it without Mr. Romano and his team. I had a dream, to have my own liquor store and he made it possible, his knowledge, experience and his team find every way to allow me to reach my goal. Now I am happy to let everyone know about the newly established liquor store in the heart of... Brentwood, where so many said is impossible, Mr Romano found the way. On the meeting day a particular comment made by one of the board members after the unanimous vote was “He hit the jackpot” and it really felt like one of the lottery winners walking away after collecting the winnings. I recommend Mr Romano and his team. Waste no time with anyone else trying to get or transfer a liquor license. This is the firm to go to. Sincerely, Hoober

Robert Romano is hands down one of the top liquor attorneys around. He is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He was extremely patient with all my questions and concerns. He was also very honest from the beginning on how the process will be. With his help and guidance I was able to obtain my l...iquor license. I don’t think I could have done it without him honestly. Best of the best !
