Swift, surprising favorable outcome
Mr Antonelli was very supportive and personally involved in resolving my case quickly. He initially came up with a fairly good result for me, but then voluntarily went the extra mile to improve it even more. He "knows the territory," and uses that expertise for his clients.
"Jeff has handled a great number of copyright matters and has top-level experience with these cases in many jurisdictions. His approach to these cases is smart, insightful and effective. Jeff is committed to doing the right thing for his clients at all times and is very aware of their individual needs."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jeff Antonelli for many years and have worked with him on many different matters. Jeff is thoughtful, careful and hard working. He puts the client first and himself second. Jeff is an excellent litigator and has particularly valuable experience in the copyright and intellectual property area. Jeff is an expert in fighting copyright infringement cases. He has pioneered new and creative ways to defend those who may have improvidently downloaded a movie or song from the internet. Jeff has excellent litigation skills and a great courtroom presence. He has also done excellent work in the area of education fraud. He has significant experience litigating cases against for-profit schools that claim to provide an education."
"I worked closely with Jeff to settle a complex class action at a mediation. Having observed Jeff first hand in a hotly contested and difficult case, I have seen that he is a skilled litigator that I want working on my side. I plan to continue to work with Jeff in the future on other cases including class actions."
"Jeff worked with us as co-counsel in a complex class action against a trade school. Jeff is a tenacious and skilled litigator who added to our team. I look forward to working with him in the future on other cases as he brings important perspectives to the case and rolls up his sleeves and works hard to make the case a success."
"Jeff Antonelli and I have worked together on a number copyright matters. He is extremely knowledgeable, keeps up with the latest developments in the area, and works to come up with creative solutions which are best for the client."
"I endorse this lawyer. I initially worked with Jeff on Bit Torrent copyright defense cases and now refer all my cases on Bit Torrent litigation to Jeff, who has demonstrated the ability to provide superior legal services at a good value for my referred clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is one of the few lawyers who knows the law relating to bit torrent and defends individual for very reasonable fees."
