Sole Proprietor, Entertainment Industry

Nicole Haff has provided me with excellent guidance and impeccable work as I worked through numerous contract negotiations with her for my business. I am an influencer in the entertainment space, and Nicole served as my main point of contact for various contract negotiations in regards to my work and... business planning. She is the most responsive attorney I have ever worked with, was quick to understand my needs, and was assertive and thorough when communicating with the other parties involved. I could not be more grateful to work with Nicole, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal services.

Brilliant, aggressive, and fearless attorney who is also a wonderful person

I faced a complicated and complex employment contract dispute with a former employer. Making matters even more challenging, the disagreement involved a very unique industry with work flows, expectations, and protocols that can be exceptionally confusing to people outside the industry. Soon after I br...ought my issues to Romano law, the firm hired Nicole Haff as their key litigator and promptly assigned her to my case. At every step of the way, Nicole was smart, attentive to detail, tireless, communicative about all actions, and inclusive. She consistently asked for my input. However, largely because of her own compelling work, legal skills, and tenacity, she literally won every motion, filing, letter, and communication. She ran circles around opposing counsel and racked up victory after victory. It was a remarkable and rewarding sight to behold, particularly given that opposing counsel was part of one of the most powerful NYC law firms and represented a multi-billion dollar corporation that was beyond difficult in my case. However, nothing intimidates Nicole. On top of her superior intellect and strategic thinking, she is a former college athlete who welcomes challenges and relishes a fight. Trust me. you want Nicole Haff as your lawyer. And, you will appreciate how quickly she also becomes a friend. Never mind her strong legal acumen, she is also interesting, kind, loyal, and thoughtful. Regardless of the challenge you are facing, I recommend Nicole Haff in the strongest possible terms.

Retained Nicole as out-of-state Counsel

I had a small business that ran into financial issues due to COVID and retained Nicole's firm for help in settling disputes with co-founder. Nicole and her team were very professional and represented me very well in negotiating with my co-founders counsel. She provided guidance and reassurance to me ...throughout the whole process. I would recommend reaching out to Nicole if you have business related legal needs in the state of New York.

Excellent copyright infringement representation

Our company has developed a significant amount of intellectual property over the past 12 years and occasionally we must protect it from infringers. We have used several firms all over the country for various actions, but we have found Nicole to be the best in the business for our needs. She is ver...y sharp, experienced, and extremely professional - and is extremely attentive to our needs and preferences. We've worked with her on three cases so far, and each one has been handled exceptionally well and quickly obtained our desired outcome. We highly recommend Nicole and we really appreciate her excellent and professional work.

Amazing Representation!

I engaged Romano Law for personal dispute and Nicole was absolutely amazing. She fought hard for me in my case and we were successful! Please reach out if you are looking for a strong attorney. Thank you Nicole.
