HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Domenic was a pleasure to work with and extremely helpful and successful in helping me win my case I would highly recommend him

Posted by anonymous | November 13, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Appeals

Won my Appeal

Hired Domenic after I was not able to get thorough paperwork or understanding on my own. With his guidance from the first phone call. I felt comfortable with my decision to hire him. He guided me along with help getting all records needed. I was able to get a speedy hearing due to my circumstances a...nd granted we won the appeal. It's a shame that more people don't seek professional help for appealing or even if you want to do it yourself Domenic bellisario is able to explain the reasons and clearly gave me hope for my future after my injuries. I worked from age of 17 years till 49 only to be told I could still do certain work. My medical records were not available or released. Get advice. Call him, he will answer your questions and respect you. Thanks my family won't be homeless this winter.

Excellent Attorney

Dominic Bellisario took the time to listen to my case. He was extremely knowledgeable when pursuing a case with the NRLB and the EEOC. He was respectful and kept me up to date and informed me every step of the way. He was professional, curtious and most of all prepared. I could not have had a bette...r attorney than Dominic Bellisario in my corner. I highly recommend his services.

Smart and fierce!

I have seen this attorney in action. Wow. He almost made me feel bad for the other attorney. They didnt see him coming or going.. it was a clean hit. All eyebrows were raised and the room got quiet. He is professional and lethal.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
