Don't delay, time is not on your side.

I contacted Antonelli Law to consult on a subpoena filed against me by Strike 3. I was very emotional and stressed but Alec was able to explain the issue and give me confidence that this issue can be resolved in multiple ways. I felt comfortable with Alec's knowledge, professionalism, and demeanor an...d proceeded to retain his services. He proceeded to put all of my options on the table and we then discussed my specific circumstances and narrowed down the options to the one that aligned with my priorities. Alec is an effective communicator, he was able and willing to perform the required tasks at the speed required to accomplish the objectives while maintaining my priorities. I wouldn't wish this situation on anyone but if you find yourself in it, contact Alec and the Antonelli team and i am sure they will ease your fears and get you through it. Thanks Alec

Kind, effective and knowledgeable. Alec is top choice for any Strike 3 related matters!

I was connected with Alec through Antonelli Law Ltd for assistance with a case related to Strike 3 Holdings sending a subpoena to my ISP. After having sleepless nights researching and trying to understand what it meant, how it all worked, and what needed to be done, his free consultation was th...e start of a supportive and effective process. Even though my case happened in CA, he reassured me that he and his firm would be able to assist with my matter. He stood out from all the attorneys I consulted due to his kind and detailed oriented service, he allowed me to confirm I understood every step of the way. His calm demeanor and optimism -grounded in facts- was a relief to my already anxious personality. Alec communicates clearly and is very responsive, he even kept in touch during the weekend due to the time sensitive nature of my case. Not only did he resolve my case successfully and anonymously, the overall cost of the matter was well below the original "guesstimate" range in our initial consultation. I endorse his capabilities and work ethics, I would recommend him to anyone who requires assistance with related matters.

The right lawyer for my case

Alec was incredibly responsive and sympathetic / supportive throughout the entire process and kept me well informed the entire time, including the painful waiting periods. There was zero judgment and he handled it very professionally. He is clearly an expert and deeply experienced in this type of... case, and he handled it as efficiently as promised. In the end I got a settlement very similar to what he initially estimated based on the results of other cases.

He wins!

The perfect attorney has a name: Alec Dardis. I could write a lot here, but I will be brief: he is professional. He explains everything to you, and his voice calms you down. He is honest and charges fairly. He knows exactly what to do to help you. But the most important part is that he has feelings a...nd compassion. You get the sense that he is like a close relative who takes your problem as if it were his own. He wins. Alec Dardis – The Attorney!

Excellent service

The level of professionalism, empathy, and knowledge is extremely high. Not only did he demonstrate his expertise in the initial consultation, but he also represented my case with masterful precision. I am very grateful for his help. He definitely produced the best possible result.
