Highly recommend
I got a speeding ticket for driving at 54 in a 30 zone at Colonie, Albany, NY. I was a visitor there and had a problem with my GPS so I inadvertently turned into a residential area where the cop gave me the ticket which would cost me upto $700 fine and 6 points ..... I contacted Mr. Nicotera one...

An Efficient Attorney
Mr. Nicotera was knowledgeable and efficient in handling my insurance claim. When my car was totaled due to a careless driver, the insurance company tried to low ball me on the price of my vehicle. Mr. Nicotera knew my rights and got me a much higher payout. All correspondence with the insurance c...

Experience and dedication
I’ve found Mr. Nicotera very experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated. He responded very quickly to my questions and concerns. I received personal attention all the time until my problems were solved. I would highly recommend him to anyone who seeks professional advice. His expertise helped resolv...
"The answers of Mr. Nicotera are consistently accurate, analytic, and customized to the needs of the Avvo askers. These are exactly the qualities that every client would look for when hiring an attorney. I am not at all disturbed by the prior discipline of Mr. Nicotera, a result of a very, very difficult personal situation. If the State Bar of NY reinstated, it would be wrong to hold that prior and resolved situation against him, and I would not hesitate to hire him."

Reinstated From Disbarment issued in NY, 2014
updated on 08/23/2015After being disbarred, a former attorney may apply for reinstatement. He or she must comply with all readmission requirements from the New York State Unified Court System.
“Please read my client rating comments. As the result of the 1997 suicide of my young son I was devastated and became clinically depressed, unable to perform even the most basic tasks. Client complaints followed resulting in me resigning my license while discipline action was pending. No program was available to assist me through this horrific time. Today one does exist. After recovery from my clinical depression i applied for reinstatement of my license and it was granted. Thank you.”
Disbarment issued in NY, 2000
updated on 06/26/2017Disbarment is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court to understand the reasons for disbarment.
Censured issued in NY, 1992
updated on 06/26/2017When 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.
