Innovative, Flawless, Resilient, Effective

As Combat Airborne Veteran, I highly recommend Mr, Del Col to my fellow veteran brothers & any person seeking an attorney, who exceeds the standards. Ill even give you and example, Mr, Del col is one of the few attorneys who is respected enough to give seminars to new students studying Law, the res...t are Judges, obviously Mr, Del Col is respect around his colleges and peers. His Pristine logic and innovative, strategies, strengthen his broad ever learning, expertise in law. What I notice right off the bat with him was his amazing interpersonal skills, which made me feel comfortable, enabling me to trust him as my attorney, through an array of complex legal issues. I have read some other blogs on this post about Mr, Del col not being able to be reached, which was not my experience at all & further-more, if he isn't available, its most likely because he is working on your case, or other clients he has an obligation to. So when the opposition is sleeping Mr. Del Col is grinding out your case, making sure all his legal tools are sharp for arbitration. This attribute of perseverance, along side with his logical thinking ability, along with his fond recollection of case law, enables him to effectively remedy facts, that work in his clients favor. I came to Mr, Del Col after I had exhausted much time and money with another attorney who actually made my case worse, although some attorneys may be known for how quick they respond and listen to you as if they were your therapist, don't be fooled, because these are the same attorneys who tell you what you want to hear, and each call is adding up, but my question is are the results in their clients favor, adding up, because with Mr. Del Col his work speaks for itself. Also for what its worth Mr. Del Col actually has never talked to me about money since the beginning of my case, Instead I would receive text and emails telling me, its going to be okay we will kick ass in court. Do you want a winner or do you want a therapist attorney, when its my Childs custody battle on the line or my freedom I want to win!

Exceptional Attorney

Robert DelCol did an outstanding job of handling two separate contempt actions against my former spouse. He was proactive, organized, very professional and quick to address any questions and concerns regarding the cases. I recommended him highly!

A Professional and a Smart Trial Attorney

I was in the midst of incredibly complex litigation and clearly needed more sophisticated counsel. I already had full custody of my son but considering the history it was essential that I had the right advocate. The international aspects involving treaty obligations of multiple countries alone we...re too complex for most attorneys to fully understand. I was introduced to Robert Del Col by a friend and immediately knew I was in good hands. He understood my concerns and the breadth of legal issues. He had the skill and judgment required to make my case in the strongest possible terms. The case is soon to be decided in full yet I am confident that Robert has represented me and ultimately my son's interests superbly. We have had our share of victories in our various motions and we will prevail in the final decision.

Bob DelCol, the most competant trial lawyer I have ever seen

I hired Mr. DelCol for a "criminal" charge in Nassau Family Court. A charge my ex wife brought against me. Although the charge was bogus, I filed two motions pro se to get the OP and charges dismissed and even went the appellate court in Brooklyn. I was denied by all. I hired Mr. DelCol two weeks bef...ore the trial. He understood the case immediately and took it on for a reasonable fee. I went to trial yesterday. Mr. DeCol did a great job! The Judge had her mind made up that she would find ne guilty and I was planning on appealing. Bob made such a good case and more importantly, something rare in Long Island lawyers, did not allow the Judge to bully him, and believe me, she tried very hard. Bobs confidence made me feel comfortable. His off the cuff knowledge of the law is unparalleled. I was offered a "plea bargain". Most lawyers would tell me to take it but not Bob, he said lets go to trial and if we loose, we will win in the appeal court. If you are considering hiring Bob and you want to speak to me directly to get more info, I am so thankful for what he did, I will post my cell number.

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!

Professional misconduct

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.
