I have practicing law for 41 years. I began as a staff attorney for the Legal Aid Society (Public Defender) and then joined the suffolk County District Attorney's Office for 3 years heading the white collar investigation bureau and then serving as Chief Assistant District attorney. I began my private practice in 1978 and now specialize almost exclusively in the area of criminal defense. Our law firm handles most types of civil litigation involving personal injury, malpractice and contested probate proceedings.

Paul Gianelli was my families lawyer since the 1980s and has been the Best Lawyer I've seen work in a courtroom. Mr.Gianelli has the experience and Knowledge to fight any defense charges,NO matter what type of case. I highly recommend him and his partners to handle all your law needs!! The Lom...
"Paul is a knowledgeable and aggressive advocate for his clients. Having seen him on trial, I can certainly enthusiastically endorse him."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is one of the truly outstanding criminal defense lawyers now practicing in the State of New York. I have known Paul Gianelli for many years, worked with him on various matters over those years, and I have the greatest regard for him. James K. Riley, Esq. Pearl River, NY and Montvale, NJ."
"True, he is my father, but in all honesty he is a great lawyer. I had a wonderful experience working for his law firm and am still learning from him even though I practice in Colorado now. He will get you the best possible plea deal, and if it isn't a good deal he will gladly take the case to trial. And perhaps most importantly, he will treat you with respect and will always return your phone call!"
