Hire him and his firm!

Mr. Borrelli cares about his clients and gives you that feeling you have someone in your corner. He handled my employment issue in under 90 days and was very accessible during that time. I highly recommend hiring him and his team.

Very Helpful Experience Employment Attorney

There aren't enough words in the English Language to express how grateful I am to have had Borrelli and Associates P.L.L.C represent me on my employment matter. This was my first time needing an employment attorney. In this particular instance, I needed an employment attorney to follow up on a very d...ifficult matter that warranted an extremely experienced firm that handled employment law. Mr. Michael Borrello, who is the Managing Attorney/Member of the firm assisted me on my case. He responded to each and every question I had and always gave me step by step updates on his communication with the other party. Although very difficult (lot of emotions from other side). Mr. Borrelli was able to settle the case in less than 90 days. I would highly recommend anyone who is seeking assistance with their employment matter to not hesitate on retaining the services of Borrelli and Associates PLLC. I would also like to add that all the employees at the firm that interacted with via phone and e mail were very generous, respectful and helpful. I really appreciate your help. Thank you again for your assistance Mr. Borrelli!

Gratitude in my attitude!! It is my upmost pleasure to recommend Borrelli & Associates, to anyone being discriminated against by their employer. This firm has fought for me diligently leaving no stone unturned; during a time and season when it counts most in this Country. Hostile work environment and... verbal abuse is no longer tolerated in the workplace. BLACKS LIVES MATTTER. Kudos to Kerry and Alex and the entire Borrelli Team. Sharon GD.

Borrelli is my team

My name is Jakwan Rivers. I was a long time NYC employee of the NYCHA and a Union official of Teamsters local 237 representing city employees. As I opposed the treatment of the members by city and union officials, I decided that in order to change the way business was done, was to run for president ...of the union and affect change and as a result, I became a target of both interties for retaliation. After exhausting all internal lawful interties and exorcising all internal rights to protect myself against all opposing parties and retaliation from NYC and Union officials, I was left with no other alternative but to seek out specialized attorneys who totally understood the general makeup of city and union policies. My case was extremely unique which required a law firm that also specializes in retaliation including 1st and 14th amendment rights which many law firms lack all combined specialties. After months of consideration, research and investigating, all roads led to Borrelli and associates P.L.L.c. After consultation, I was pleased and excited that the associates of Borrelli totally understood my situation and immediately devised a plan of action. As a union official/city employee, I've had the privilege of working with many attorneys from all walks of law and I must say, their focus, commitment and professionalism was above and beyond what was expected. Borrelli Team kept me informed, Updated and I was totally involved in the entire process as part of the team. The Borrelli Team vigorously addressed the issues at hand and represented my case superbly. AIthough we was unsuccessful in achieving our goal, there's nothing that wasn't addressed or unrepresented in my opinion. I would like to personally thank Mike Borrelli and the Borrelli team for a job well done. Best Regards,

Kenneth W. - Absolutely The Best!!!

I live just outside of Austin, TX. I searched over 30 law firms before finding Borrelli & Associates in Great Neck, New York. I liked their website and reviews, plus they came highly recommended as experts representing federal employees. I retained their services for two years. During that time, ...I received outstanding legal counsel, excellent customer service, and peace of mind. I was always able to reach my assigned attorney either by phone or email. She processed all of my legal documents in a timely and professional manner. She also kept me in the loop whenever she spoke with the Agency’s Attorney and EEOC Administrative Judge. Overall, I was very pleased with the positive legal outcome and their fair detailed billing process. If you are looking for a 10 out of 10 outcome with your legal case, I strongly suggest Borrelli & Associates as your one and only choice for the greater New York Area.
