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!!!!!!

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!

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.
