Outstanding! Quick and Easily Scheduled Consultation.

I received a notice from my ISP informing me that Strike 3 Holdings, LLC had served a subpoena requesting my name and address from them. They recommended obtaining counsel to resolve the matter. I was extremely stressed about my situation, literally sick. I researched Strike 3 Holdings, LLC and ev...erything I read made me feel even worse. I had no idea the consequences for downloading copy right files could be so steep. I had heard of warning letters issued to people I know, but never something like a subpoena. In my research I repeatedly saw references to Antonelli Law Ltd. I read every review of the firm and specifically Jeffrey Antonelli I could find. Everything was extremely positive. I searched for anything negative and only found a reference to a patent dispute with a competitor. I contacted Antonelli Law through the web link and requested a free consultation the night I received the ISP letter. Antonelli Law quickly contacted me to request a free consultation with times available the next morning. At 8am I spoke directly with Jeffrey Antonelli. He was calm, reassuring and gave me advice for my situation. I asked questions which he quickly answered making me feel more at ease. I had contacted companies via the internet before and filled out forms with my name and phone number or email address and they turned out to be scams resulting in relentless solicitation emails and phone calls. This did not happen after contacting Antonelli Law. I believe Antonelli Law is a legitimate company, and that Jeffrey Antonelli is an honest, excellent attorney. My Bit Torrent days are over with.

Great help and ease of mind

Jeffrey was excellent help and right off the bat spent a nice amount of time explaining what would happen etc before I even paid a cent. Then put my mind at ease after hired him then through the whole process. I can't give a higher recommendation for attorney that handles cases such as these. ... Thank you Jeffrey!

Excellent service

Another copyright infringement case here. Right from the initial free consultation I knew I was in good hands with Jeffrey. Throughout the entire process he was professional, courteous, and prompt in replying to my questions. The process took a while, with back and forth demands and counter-offers..., but the final outcome was that Jeffrey had saved me a *large* chunk of money. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Jeffrey. Call and book that initial free consultation - you won't regret it.

Strike 3

I contacted Mr. Antonelli when I received notification that I was being sued by Strike 3. I chose to go with Mr. Antonelli as my attorney because of his positive reviews and he did not disappoint. He always got in touch with me on any day that I called in to the office and had questions. I can not re...commend this man enough. He settled my case quickly and saved me $11,475 in the process. If you find yourself in the same situation that I was in, do not hesitate to contact this man. He offers a 30 minute free consultation where he will explain your options and answer any questions that you may have.

Highly recommended. Very Professional Firm

Jeffery Antonelli’s Law Firm is very professional, knowledgeable and they treat people as a person and not just another case number. Out standing firm to handle copyright infringement lawsuits. Jeffery and his team took there time to explain things over the phone and return e-mails to were I totally ...understood things in my situation. The free consultation with Jeff was like talking to my best friend. He’s very open and honest. Totally explains were you stand as to what may and may not happen in the out come of your case. When you are facing a possible fine of thousands of dollars for copyright infringement lawsuit, and you don't have that kind of money it can be extremely stressful and nerve racking. Jeffery Antonelli Law Firm settled my case in a much shorter time then what I figured with a settlement I could afford... Thank you Jeffery for everything
