Great Outcome
Like most of the reviewers on here I was attacked with this horrible lawsuit as well from Strike 3 Holdings, very scary stuff if you don't know what the heck is going on and finding out those lonely days of 3 to 8 minutes would cost you nearly $27,000. After having a consultation of great extent I h...

Jeff took care of the case perfectly
Jeff not only ensured that the settlement is anonymous but also comprehensive with thorough protection against any future risk from the same plaintiff with other old cases.
We take pride in being able to protect our clients not only from the stated alleged downloads in the lawsuit complaint, but also any other unknown alleged downloads for the same copyright owner (movie company) through the date of the settlement agreement. This includes both clients that settle anonymously to the public, and those that settle "totally anonymously" where the movie company never learns the identity of our client. Only one Internet Subscriber in the world is assigned your IP address for the exact date and time alleged, and that person and their household members are included in the settlement agreement release of claims.

Good legal advice bad Communication
Being hit with a lawsuit is scary and I had no idea what was in store for me until searching the internet and seeing that I somehow illegally downloaded adult movies . I found Antonelli Law through a google search and after consulting with him I hired his firm. At first I was reassured that the c...
Dear Anonymous, I wish I knew which client you are so I could address you personally. Providing excellent communications with our clients is one of our most important goals and I am glad you found communicating with my paralegal easy. However, I am sorry to learn you found communicating with me by telephone difficult. Did you try to emailing me for a time to talk? I do try to personally call back each client promptly and consistently. I do ask my paralegal to help me convey messages with our clients to keep the cases progressing as it should when I am either busy, at court, or on the telephone. I even email with clients at night and on weekends whenever possible. I am sorry you felt communicating with me by telephone was difficult and we are working internally to be sure that every client feels cared for personally. As for legal fees, we resolve nearly every case that we settle on a flat fee basis with absolutely no additional fees whatsoever. Since I do not know who you are, I cannot address your particular situation with certainty in the details. Sometimes clients hire us after they were already served with a Summons. When that happens, our flat fee includes all settlement negotiations out of court but we are also upfront about the additional in-court costs of needing to file any Motions to Extend Time or filing an Answer or Motion to Dismiss by the court-imposed deadline to protect you. Basically, if you have already been served with a Summons before you hired us, you have 21 days from the day you were served to file responsive paperwork with the court to avoid a default judgment. Try as we might, not all cases can be settled on satisfactory terms within that time period, especially when we are hired just before that responsive paperwork is due. So, in order to protect clients who have already been served with a Summons from a default judgment, we often file a Motion to Extend Time to increase the time we can continue to negotiate a settlement, before having to file a more expensive Answer with Counterclaims and Affirmative Defenses or even a Motion to Dismiss. I am sorry if the cost for filing necessary motions in court were not made clear to you when you hired us. Finally, and again I do not know who you are so I do not know your particular circumstance, but sometimes during settlement negotiations it becomes necessary to file a Motion to Proceed Anonymously (aka a Motion for Protective Order) when the movie company is threatening to imminently file an Amended Complaint against you. Filing a Motion to Proceed Anonymously in court is an additional legal cost, which is not necessary for most of our settlement negotiations. Sometimes the movie companies take an agonizingly long time to respond to our settlement discussion communications, especially with Malibu Media LLC. This can create a situation where the movie company has taken up so much time that they face the court dismissing their lawsuit entirely if they do not file an Amended Complaint. So, they will then inform us they will be filing an Amended Complaint (with your name as the public defendant) within a few days if we do not settle, and if the current settlement negotiations have not yet resulted in a fair settlement price, then in order to not simply capitulate or give in to their demands, when a client wants to remain anonymous to the public in the court record, then it is imperative to file a Motion to Proceed Anonymously in court. I have been practicing for nearly 20 years, providing excellent legal defense in court and out of court settlement negotiations for over 2,000 clients nationwide. This is the first time we have received this input; I promise you we have already begun to address the need in our firm to doubly make sure each and every client knows with confidence they can speak with me personally, by telephone or in the office. I am glad we did successfully resolve your case and provided you with good legal advice that helped you move on.

Copyright Infringment
Worst nightmare getting a lawsuit in the mail. After some research and calling different lawyers, we couldn't be any happier that we went with Jeffrey Antonelli. At first we wanted to fight our case after finding out that 4+ unauthorized users had been using our Internet since we had moved in early ...

Relief and Defense against Fraud
Jeffrey and Katrina went above and beyond to protect me and my family when an illicit company somehow received our IP address and filed a suit for which we had no way of proving wasn't true. We didn't even know how they got our information in the first place. Jeffrey and Katrina were ...
