Copyright infringement case

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.

Comfort on a Stressful Day.

I received a certified letter stating that I was being sued. Confused, stressed and anxious I looked up lawyers that had dealt with the holdings company. I found and contacted Jeffrey Antonelli's office. He called me back promptly and we discussed what my options were. I am on government assistance a...nd was very concerned about cost. Jeffrey took my case pro bono. I sent copies of required paperwork and he took care of the rest. I was updated regularly until the issue was resolved. Extremely pleased with how my case was handled.

Great Lawyer!

Jeffrey Antonelli is an amazing lawyer. It was thanks to Mr. Antonelli that my lawsuit was settled quickly and affordably for myself. Even before settling, I was completely stressed about my situation, he was professional and reassuring. He explained to me the law along with the basics of how a negot...iation happens. He set a flat rate for his services and even offered to split the fee into two payments to help prevent any financial difficulty. I cannot recommend him enough.

What a relief! :)

Today, I received a Cease & Desist letter, which included the threat of litigation, from a movie subscription company I may have been a part of 10 years ago. I nearly had a heart attack reading all of this. I gave Mr. Antonelli's offices a call, and Edward, the law clerk, gave me some initial orienta...tions that greatly calmed me down. Following his instructions, I set up a free consultation, and called Mr. Antonelli. Mr. Antonelli calmed me down even further by exlaining what exactly was going on, and gave me concrete options I could follow. I still haven't decided on my next step, but at least I have a rudimentary plan going forward. If it is necessary that I procure representation for this matter, I will definitely consider Antonelli and his team. Thanks again, Jeff! :)

best lawyer

i was sued by strike 3 holding, jeffrey settled my case in less than a month. i live in New York, i can find many lawyers who can defend for copyright infringement. i had called several local lawyers. one lawyer was going to charge me $550 for consultation. Another lawyer was going to charge me $5000... for the first retainer. notice, there would be second or third retainers i had to pay. Most New York lawyers offer hour rate service, but jeffrey offers flat rate (one time payment). In my opinion, only millionaires can afford hour rate. jeffrey's attorney fee is reasonable. he helped me to get the best settlement result. i Googled strike 3 holding, i could find some law firms, they say they know how to defend. they also posted some articles that explain strike 3 holding like jeffrey did. i had called them , they scared me more. they know how to defend, but they don't know the strategies to dominate in the case. jeffrey is confident on this lawsuit. i recommend him, his paralegal Katrina is good and professional too. there is so much misleading information on the internet, call jeffrey for a free consultation, he can definitely reduce your anxiety. you can hire him though you live in a different state.

Our deep, national experience allows us to cost-effectively deal with these copyright infringement lawsuits for legal fees that many fine firms just cannot compete with. While we could adjust our pricing for certain areas like the New York market we prefer instead to have extremely satisfied clients like yourself who feel they got a square deal. Finally, no lawyer should scare you. However each and every prospective client should be made aware of the legal and financial risks, the probability of those risks when known (like statutory damages in a copyright lawsuit) and ideas on mitigating those risks in a cost-effective fashion.
