This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Amazing Attorney

I hired Carmelo to represent a family member. He is an amazing attorney. He knows the law and knows his way around the court house. He was well regarded the Judge, ADA's and court personnel. He has a calm, reassuring manner with his clients and treats his clients with dignity. If you are lucky enou...gh for Carmelo to take your case, you will be in very good hands.

caring and compassionate

I hired Carmelo 5 months ago to represent my daughter for a serious legal situation. She doesn't warm up to too many folks but she has to him. He has been very informative and compassionate and she trusts him him very much as do I. I'm so glad I found such a wonderful lawyer at this critical time.... I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a truly great lawyer. He is God send.

Carmelo Garufi is an EXCELLENT and COMPASSIONATE Attorney.

I met Carmelo Garufi in the Courthouse in Hempstead NY, about ten years ago. He represented me on a serious matter. Carmelo Garufi is very knowledgable of his craft, He is a people person who pays attention to his clients needs. I'm going to be totally honest wih you. I don't trust attorneys, but I t...rust this man as if he was my twin brother. I consider him family. And now ten years later I needed an atty again, and he actually remembered me. He is currently handeling a case for me now and is doing an awesome job. I would highly recommend him for representation for anyone. You will be satisfied with his work,I guarantee it!!....God bless you Carmelo Garufi.
