Federal Court with Bob for 7 years

I have been fighting a CPS Civil Rights case with Mr. Del Col for 7 years now. The egregious things that happened to our daughter are slightly summarized in this New York Post article: https://nypost.com/2016/01/17/hospitals-killed-our-baby-and-then-tried-to-blame-us-lawsuit/ When everyone e...lse was afraid to take on our case and upset the Suffolk County Family Court System, possibly hurting their own practices; Bob was the only one that stepped up to the plate. He has spent tireless hours working, writing, researching, talking to experts and fighting for justice for my daughter and the civil rights of my sons that were wrongfully taken by CPS. I should have typed this referral years ago. If you have any questions as to whether Robert Del Col is the proper attorney for you please feel free to call me at 631.514.9660 and I will answer any questions that you my have. He is tenacious and fiercely protective of his clients. That is not a quality easy found in this vast field. Very truly yours, Sara Keenan

The absolute BEST

My husband and I reached out to Rob when we were at our absolute lowest point. We were 7 months in to losing our son in a battle with CPS. We thought we would never get threw what was our absolute worst nightmare. We come from great families and our son is our entire world. We tried everything with f...amily court, CPS, and different attorneys and alls we did was spin our wheels and lose more time not having our baby. The first time we sat down and spoke with Rob, we were not only embarrassed but we had zero confidence that anyone was going to change or help our situation. We couldn't have been more wrong! When we sat down and spoke with Rob during our initial consultation, it was the first time since our son was ripped out of our lives that we actually felt a sense of hope! He made us feel so comfortable, so confident, he made us see there could be a light at the end of this dark tunnel. Rob spent a great amount of time talking with us and told us exactly what his plan of action would be if we were to hire him. As confident as we were in him, we felt so defeated up until this point we were still unsure. After a long ride home and much discussion we knew that he was our best fighting chance. We consulted with Rob on a Tuesday and our court date was Thursday, so this was really our last desperate cry for help. Rob was also leaving for vacation the week we consulted with him so he wasn't going to be there for our first court date. He sent someone from his office in his place, and let me tell you as soon as the judge heard he was representing us-it was a whole new "ballgame"!!!!! Even though nothing was done that day, we left that courtroom knowing we made the right decision. To make a long story short, Rob told us this needed to be taken to trial. That word terrified us! We thought a trial would be extremely drawn out and very expensive. We met with Rob in August-when we marked our case for trial. Our next court date fell on our sons 2nd birthday 9/15/16 and the CPS county attorney called out sick. On October 20th-only our third court date, we won our case and our son cane HOME!!! Before we hired Rob we had read reviews where people have said they are forever in debt to him-and now we understand exactly what they meant. There are no words to express and no amount of money we could give to ever repay what Rob did for us. We have never met anyone who knows the law so unbelievably in and out-it's amazing! Rob, you will forever be family to us. You changed our lives for the best and we are blessed to have had you in our corner. THANK YOU!!!!!!

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!

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!

Censured issued in NY, 2005
