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!

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.

Worst lawyer ever and he just wants your money.

If there were 0 stars I could give I would. All Robert Del Cole cared about is money. He was unresponsive and did not help during my father's appeal. After my father's appeal was denied the only notification we received was from his secretary Kaitlin via email. Robert never returned any phone calls, ...emails, or any correspondence. His secretary Kaitlin would say that she would forward our contact info. yet we still never heard anything from Robert. The only time he would contact us was to see when we would be sending him money. He is by far the worst lawyer and my family and I are very disappointed in his services or lack of. I would never recommend any family to hire Robert Del Cole unless they would like to deal with an unresponsive, non compassionate person.

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.

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.
