Jeffrey J. Antonelli

Mr. Antonelli is highly knowledgeable regarding internet copyright legal entanglements. His straightforward approach served me very well. There was excellent communications and he demonstrated that he did fight to get my case settled quickly. My case involved Internet Torrent file issues and Mr. Anto...nelli was the right person to hire. Mr. Antonelli is highly recommended

Received a letter from my ISP informing me that they had received a subpoena from Strike 3 Holdings requesting my identity for the purpose of a lawsuit for copyright infringement. Not having ever been subjected to anything like this, and with a squeaky clean reputation, I began my research online. On...ce I began to understand the ramifications of ignoring this, fighting in court, or retaining an attorney versed in this field of law, I chose the latter. I then began my due diligence researching law firms covering this area of law. From my original 5, I whittled it down to 2 choices; a firm in my hometown of New York or Jeffrey Antonelli. I first contacted the New York Firm and spoke to an attorney who informed me that each alleged infringement would cost a minimum of $500, plus their fee. She added that because she dealt frequently with the lawyers at Strike 3, she might be able to settle for a little less, perhaps $1000. Next question was direct and to the point: Do I have the money to pay for the immediate settlement she could get? If not, there was nothing further to discuss. Not the best "beside manner" would you agree? I then went to Mr. Antonelli's website, which was professionally laid out with client reviews, frequently asked questions, biographies of the attorneys in the firm, and excellent video explaining the entire process, their familiarity with it, and how they best represent their clients. Viewing the website gave me an excellent understanding of how to proceed. Next, I setup a telephonic interview with Mr. Antonelli. During the phone interview, we both asked questions, and just as important, he sensed my anxiety and alleviated it with his explanations and experience. Decision made, I had my attorney. Mr. Antonelli quickly followed up the initial conversation with request for documents and further questions that might favorably affect the outcome of the case, all the time stressing that if I felt uncomfortable with any info, to disregard. I felt so comfortable with Mr. Antonelli, I realized he had the best interest of his client foremost. He had my trust. With my unique background and health problems (9/11 first responder with cancer and pulmonary issues), Mr. Antonelli explained what the results of his settlement negotiations could range from, and after being notified of the initial settlement offer from Strike 3, Mr. Antonelli asked my permission to mention some of the above, which I granted. The next day I received an email from Mr. Antonelli stating that a settlement had been reached that was just 1/8th of the original settlement offer from Strike 3. The entire process from retaining Mr. Antonelli to settling this case was just one week. Not only do I now know an outstanding Attorney, I feel I have gained a friend who took extra time during our conversations to get to know me. Not for one second do I believe that any other Attorney could have done more or better. I stated at the beginning of this review, I researched 5 firms online, 3 of which were from my hometown New York area, and one of them I telephonically consulted with. None of them could match the experience that Mr. Antonelli offers, or the results that I received.

I received a subpoena, I called Jeffrey after I looked online for infringement lawyers for consolations after his professional explanation. I decided to hired him , which my best decision I have made. He settled my case within 3 weeks and with a good settlement. Save about 90% of the original settlem...ent requested. I am highly recommend Jeffrey to anyone who has infringement problems .

My husband and I were presented with a settlement fee of $4,000 for an IP case. We immediately contacted Antonelli Law, and they gave us free advice before we ever retained their services. Once we engaged their services, their expertise in IP law as well as their commitment to their clients was cle...arly evident. They walked us through each step of the process, advised us on every situation, and were extremely responsive to all our inquiries. With their help, we were able to obtain a no cost settlement. We highly recommend Antonelli Law as their services are superb!

When I first received the letter from my ISP that I was being sued for copyright infringement I thought that it must be a mistake. A scam or something. These kinds of things have not happened to anyone that I know. Strike 3 holdings was saying that some of their movies were downloaded and distributed... by the IP address that I own. Not knowing the names of or how many movies this was I couldn't understand what was going on. When I googled the penalties for copyright infringement I was petrified. I was only given 2 weeks to file an objection. After much research I decided to ignore it. Thinking that they may not bother going after me. But after a week I started to really worry that if my ISP gave my name and address to Strike 3 then I could be in serious trouble. And then they would have my identity. That's when I looked up attorneys that have handled these cases before. I decided to go with Jeff Antonelli and his law firm after seeing nothing but excellent reviews. I first sent Jeff an email explaining my situation. He answered it very fast. Much to my surprise. I then talked with Jeff about my case. The free consultation really impressed me and talking to Jeff was like talking to one of my best friends. He calmed me down and relieved a ton of stress. He was very compassionate and didn't promise anything ridiculous like getting this dropped or telling me it wouldn't cost me anything. But was hopeful that the settlement would be something I could afford. He charged a flat rate which I agreed to. trying to settle this on my own with people that I knew nothing about was just too scary. Sorry for the long explanation. The case ended up being settled for much less than it could have been. I won't give figures but when you are facing a possible fine of thousands of dollars and you don't have that kind of money it can be extremely stressful. I would recommend Jeff and his law firm to anyone who is going through this. Normally I may have talked with a few lawyers but I had such a positive vibe when talking with Jeff I just felt like he was the best lawyer for this situation. I can't thank Jeff and his team enough for being there for me. Katrina an Ed were also excellent. They will fight for you and that's all you can ask a law firm. Thank again for all you have done.
