Exceptional Attorney Who Goes Above and Beyond

If a five-diamond rating existed, it would be more fitting than five stars to describe Mike Romano. He is not only an exceptional attorney with extensive knowledge across all areas of the law, but he also provided unwavering support and guidance throughout my case. From the beginning, he clearly outl...ined the path forward in detail, ensuring I felt informed and reassured every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, he achieved an outcome beyond what I could have hoped for. I cannot thank Mike enough for his invaluable assistance!

Very professional

“I recently hired Mike Romano and I could not be more pleased with the result. He was very helpful in getting me to understand the entire process and never had a problem fully answering my questions, no matter how simple. On top of that he got me a result that was above my expectations. He did all... this at a very fair price, there were no hidden or unknown costs. I was able to attend one of the hearing conferences with him, and he was not only very proficient, but he knew the people involved, and he completely commanded the conference in my favor. Very impressed. I would strongly recommend him to any of my friends or family for any NY criminal defense work.”

A knight in shinning armor

If you need a knight in shinning armor this is your guy! He is smart, knowledgable and practical. Sympathic to your needs, calming when your world is falling apart and a gifted lawyer. I would recommend him to any one who is in need of solutions in an unsolvable situation.

THE BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY. PERIOD!!!!!!

To say that I am grateful for Mike's godsend representation of me during one of my darkest moments would be a severe understatement. Not only does he actually deliver, unlike other criminal defense attorneys I know, he goes the extra 100 miles to get to know the real you and your family. Most importa...ntly, he is not afraid to tell me when things are looking tough. But, in the end, he will make sure to guide you and treat you as if you were his family. I am and will forever be grateful for Mike for all that he has done for my life and beyond. I would not be where I am today if it were not for his trusted guidance and support along the way. Truly the best criminal defense attorney - full stop. Thank you!!!!!

"I am a former prosecutor now practicing corporate law. Any and all criminal defense matters are given to Michael, who is immediately responsive, considered an authority in New York criminal law and practice, highly respected by judges and other attorneys, and very caring of his clients. The last matter he handled involved a week-end arrest and meeting with the client in a NYC holding cell, a midnight court appearance, and ultimate dismissal of all charges. He recently helped locate an attorney for someone facing felony charges in an upstate NY court located more than 5 hours away. He is the go-to attorney for any criminal defense matter in NY State. I highly recommend him."

"Mike is one of a small group of preeminent criminal defense attorneys in the Westchester NY metro area. He can tackle any type of case, from homicides to disorderly conduct. He is always exceptionally well-prepared. I have been lucky to work numerous cases with him and know that he is held in high regard by the judges that he appears in front of and by his clients. His ethics are beyond reproach."
