Terrible Divorce Attorney

I hire Delcol for my divorce proceedings. Talk about stress from my divorce... he doubled it. I seemed to be a low priority to him... Could never get a call back from his office.. He was an embarrassment in the court room on multiple occasions to where the judge was smacking him around. He showed lat...e on multiple occasions to court so i went up by my self and had to be recalled. But he was never late asking for his outrageous fee. He was clearly not a divorce attny as my husbands attny was even smacking him around in from of the judge... What come to mind is a deer in the head lights.. Seemed to me he was the one dragging on the case.. When it was finally all said and done after 11 months he got me nothing but a large bill.... If i could give him zero stars i would.

awful

Came recommended. Made the mistake of letting him handle my divorce. Would have been better off representing myself. Never explained anything to me or answered my questions. Wouldn't respond to any phone calls. Had his secretary say he wasn't in. Did absolutely nothing to get me what I lawfully deser...ved. In the end, if you need heart surgery you see a cardiologist. If you're getting divorced, you see a divorce attorney not a criminal one who just takes your money and could care less about the outcome. And by the way, I hear he is now in need of his own criminal attorney.

If you want to win, you NEED Del Col !

Robert was reccommended to me when I was at the end of my rope with the custody battle for my son. I had been through 3 attorneys prior to Robert who did not have the knowledge required to handle my very complicated case. Del Col immediately knew what actions to take to make progress, even coming in... late in the game and gave me hope which I hadn't had for over a year. One of the sharpest legal minds here on Long Island, his knowledge and experience is evident from the first moment you meet him. He is a "ready for battle" absolute shark in court! For the first time my ex wife's attorney knew he was out lawyered! He is a genuine guy with a heart of gold and truly cares about his clients lives and children. I now have sole legal custody of my son all thanks to Robert!

Robert Del Col goes to war for you

Robert was reccommended to me when I was desperate for justice for my son and his safety. After 2 other family/divorce attorneys that were both highly rated in NY by all different publications I got the results that my son deserved from Robert. If you want your hand held (meaning you need a therapi...st) he isn't your guy if you want someone you can depend on someone who knows your case and has a personal passion for every client and their children, he treats you like family. If you want an attorney who is not afraid to fight for you and your childs best interest and who will go to war with you for your childs safety and for your families best interest he is the person you want to stand next to in a court room. He is highly respected by judges and court officers. Other attorneys nay not like him because he probably beat them. Thanks to Robert I have sole legal and residential custody of my son. After moving from California to NY "without legal permission" it is sometihing I was told I would never have. I thank Robert for all his hard work and feel confident knowing he is my corner always!

Delcol is a workhorse

Mr . Del col took over my divorce case when my previous attorney was simply getting pushed around by my wifes attorney even though she had been in law practice for over 25 years and came highly recommended.Mr. Del col took my case days before we were due to be in court and it was if i had him in my c...orner all along. Mr Del col is extremely knowledgable about the several areas of the law but most importantly knows how to apply it. His knowledge and experience really shined through in our court appearances where he was fantastic. He didnt miss any tricks thrown at him and his memmory of my case was phenominal. Onceyou get to know him and his unusaul work ethic it is hard not to appreciate him and all he does.If your looking for someone to go into battle with there is no other lawyer id pick.

Censured issued in NY, 2005

When an attorney is censured it means he or she did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
