Criminal Case Sucessfully Resolved
I met with Mike and hired him to represent my son in a criminal case. He is a very experienced criminal defense lawyer with past experience as an assistant district attorney. Mike was excellent in and out of court and achieved the optimal result. We recommend Mike without reservation.
Michael Patrick Romano's Lawyer Endorsements
"I refer most of my criminal defense cases to Michel Romano because I can count on him to obtain superior results while also providing thoughtful guidance in what can often be challenging and stressful situations. Mike knows all the inns and outs of criminal defense work, and enjoys an excellent reputation with prosecutors and defense counsel alike. I enthusiastically recommend and endorse Mike for your criminal defense needs."
"Michael Romano is one of the most knowledgeable and diligent criminal lawyers in Westchester County. I have observed him up close, and have seen the results of his focus and preparation. He is held in justifiable high regard by judges and other lawyers. I endorse him enthusiastically."
"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."
"Mike is an excellent attorney and has a record of achieving success on behalf of his clients. We've worked together on matters in the past and he is respected by his adversaries, judges and colleagues and I am glad to give him my endorsement."
"I endorse this lawyer. Michael Romano is an experienced and well respected criminal defense attorney. I have worked with him on many cases and opposed him when I was a prosecutor. He works hard for his clients to get the best possible result and the prosecutors and judges respect and listen to him."
"I endorse this lawyer."
