Thorough, on point best on LI

Let’s be honest... no one wants to need an attorney, ever! However, if you do, as we did, this is THE only firm to consider on LI. From partners, Rob and Sarah, to junior attorneys, associates and support staff, their services are simply unmatched. And wowza! There’s even a real human, extremely ...competent, receptionist that answers the telephone. No push this and speak that and try to muddle thru some silly automated phone system; a consistent personal, caring approach to business at every level. Rob Valli is thorough, on point and straight forward, mixed with kindness and compassion. Don’t mistake his kindness for weakness, tho! He can be a “bulldog”, if necessary and definitely precisely when needed. make no mistake, he knows his business and gets the job done. There’s no “sugar coating“ and telling you what you want to hear, refreshing! He, and his associates at every level, provide everything you need and want on your side. Strong communication skills are a must for me and they deliver information clearly and concisely. Always, in a professional and succinct comprehensive manner. They know lay of land on LI and have the skill set to get job done. Recently, I was asked how I know Rob when referring him, again. I paused... just for a moment and said “...Rob is my friend!”. I suddenly realized I do consider him my friend. I trust him implicitly, he’s kind, thoughtful and adds a true human element. It’s exactly what we all want and need when we unfortunately find we need an attorney. What more would you ask for in a friend!? I’d use Rob for any and all legal needs and highly recommend him, and his firm, to anyone looking for a complete legal team package. It simply doesn’t get any better. Don’t look any further, he and his colleagues are it!

Best law firm

Rob and his partners are the most amazing attorneys to work with. They give a whole new meaning to lawyers. They are extremely caring about their clients, make you feel like they are solely working for you. I could never see using another firm again. They are the best and brightest!

"From the first time I met Mr. Valli, I knew I was in the presence of someone who possessed a strong command of the law in his area of expertise. After spending more time around him however, it became apparent that he also has great caring and compassion, for his clients that have been wronged, as well as the passion to right those wrongs and obtain justice for these folks through our courts. Any client who has been wronged by their employer would be lucky to have this gentleman in their corner."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
