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.

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

Great advocacy and thorough attention to detail

Bob Romano and his team did a fantastic job getting our liquor license in a very timely manner. He followed up on every detail, gave detailed instructions for when our participation was necessary and had the nicest legal assistant guide us through the early stages. Our situation was not straight forw...ard, but the results were and we are very grateful for his expertise and individual attention. Highly recommend!

Liquor License Application NYSLA

My company was in need of a liquor license for a restaurant franchise we were building in the boroughs. Bob and his team were terrific to deal with. They made the process easy and simple. He was very well versed with the subject and provided exceptional support. I have dealt with liquor license appli...cations in other states and Bob and his team made this a seamless process. We received our license in record time! I have already began utilizing Mr. Romano for other projects he is very good to work with. I definitely would recommend Bob Romano to anyone looking to utilize these types of services.

  • 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.
