Jeffrey J. Antonelli

During the consultation with Mr. Antonelli, he was very open in terms of what to expect and explained the best steps forward. He answered all the questions that I may have had till I felt that I was comfortable in making a decision in terms of moving forward. This included a potential estimate based ...on previous experiences. After deciding to retrain the services of Mr. Antonelli, he told me what information he required from me and upon sending the necessary documents, he moved quickly to try to get things resolved. After just a couple weeks, a settlement was reached and at a fee that was almost a quarter of what was initially asked. This was of a great surprise to me, as I felt that there was not much evidence to support a financial hardship. I knew the final fee would be less than the initial but not by this much. Mr. Antonelli and his team made this whole process easy and quick so that I can move along with my life.

We were really unsure on who to turn to when we got subpoena. We spoke to many different lawyers and had a variety of responses. When talking to Jeffery, it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this branch of law. He understood what the goals of the other party and he convey to us the vario...us options that we could exercise. During these interactions it was clear that he knew that he was talking about and was a straight shooter. What set him apart thought was when he listened to the particulars of our case, we would really hear him emphasize with our situation. He understood the implications and proposed a strategy that we felt comfortable with. Once we started to move forward with the negotiations, Jeffery and his team were careful in managing out questions and providing us guidance on proper next steps and documentations. We were worried about how to open up the negotiations but Jeffery was steady and provided us advice on what was appropriate. At the end we got the results that was amiable and good for all parties. There was no extensions, delays, or problems with the negotiations because the other party knew of Jeffery and his honesty and integrity. My deepest thanks to Jeffery and his team. Thank you for supporting us through this difficult and confusion moment of time. We appreciate your professionalism, candor, and humanity through all of this.

I got a letter from my ISP concerning copyright infringement from a company that had been known as a "copyright troll" . I contacted several lawyers that were familiar with these sorts of cases and they were either extremely aggressive in their approach to the company or extremely aggressive and impe...rsonal in trying to get us to hire them. I came across Jeff because he is known as a leading expert in drone law and also an esteemed lawyer in cases concerning copyright infringement. The fact that he was an expert in an area of law (so much so that the nytimes quoted him in one of their articles) made me feel like he wasn't just a lawyer who wanted to get as many clients as he could. To me, being an expert in an aspect of law, meant he was pursuing excellence and expertise, and wanted to really know his stuff, and wanted to be really good at it. So I contacted him. About my case: it concerned some pretty sensitive information and my current financial situation is pretty dire, due to years of mental health issues. During the initial consultation, Jeff was extremely attentive, kind and sensitive to the specifics of my case and my personal life. I cannot say the same about other lawyers, who always seemed to be in a rush and seemed to only think of my in terms of dollar signs. Jeff took over 30 minutes talking to me about the case, different approaches, outcomes and the many complexities of dealing with a "copyright troll" like this, and eventually, the approach he said he would take which would have the best likely outcome, would be to settle under terms of financial hardship. He said he had similar cases where he settled for $0 because of financial hardship. I did not believe this was possible, in my mind I had already started to prepare for an outcome where I may have had to pay tens of thousands of dollars - which would have been financially devastating to me - but I thought this was the best approach, that would result in the least amount of damage to me. So I decided to hire him. After contacting the company, their initial settlement offer was in the multiples of tens of thousands. I was expecting this, from all the research I did, so I wasn't surprised. After about a week and a half, where I contacted Jeff and his aids via email, gave him all the financial documents he needed to make my case for financial hardship, and discussed settlement amounts, Jeff emailed me and told me he settled the case for only a few hundred dollars. That amount was his first and only counter offer. The time between hiring Jeff and signing the settlement agreement was 10 days. The company agreed to his initial settlement offer on the first day. I believe the case settled so quickly and for so little because Jeff is known in the copyright infringement world and he has a stellar reputation, and the company probably didn't even feel the need to counter offer or look further into my financials, because they knew Jeff is a straight shooter, and he isn't going to put his reputation on the line to lie about my financials. I've learned that in legal matters, your lawyer's reputation matters. If you have a lawyer with a stellar reputation, it puts you at a great advantage in the eyes of whoever you are facing, whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant. Overall, I cannot recommend Jeff enough. The case ended far better - and faster - than I ever could have imagined. And working with Jeff has been similar - better than I even imagined. He was patient when he needed to be. Extremely, sensitive, understanding and kind. I felt like he was on my side, and wanted to defend me, especially given my financial situation. But when it came to the case, he was extremely fast. After the consultation we contacted each other via email, and he always responded on the same day, usually within a few hours, he explained his approach clearly, gave me clear guidance, and always set realistic expectations. I don't know what more I would want in a lawyer 10/10

Seeking Jeff's advise and working with him was the best decision for my situation. Jeff explained everything to me in a very logical way and outlined what options are available to me. He helped me manage a very stressful situation and get the best result possible. Most definitely recommend Jeff an...d his team.
