A very satisfied client

I am using Robert Vella as my attorney for the third time in a matter of 5 or so years. Each and every meeting, phone call, appearances and all other aspects of my case have been handled in an exemplary, professional and knowledgeable manner. He always made me feel as if I was his #1 client and ac...tually cared about my case. During each and every court appearance, and there were quite a few, Mr. Vella showed up early so he can go over what I should expect and to put all my worries at ease. I am not always a calm person, but as soon as Mr. Vella arrived, I was extremely calm because I knew I was in the best of hands. I cannot stress enough how much I respect him both as a caring man and an aggressive and tough attorney. If you are in need of an attorney, you could not do better than being in the care of Robert Vella.

Couldn't ask for more

Bob was recommended to me by a mutual associate to handle my divorce. Today I recommended him to a personel friend. I was represented and treated in a compleatly professional manner. He kept me calm and focused and looking at the big picture when at times I was seeing red and not thinking very clear.... Bob always got back to me in a timely fashion and his secretary Theresa always took the time to listen to my concerns and help me with what she could. He also worked with me financially during a tough time. Extreamly happy with the results am now moving foward.

MINEOLA'S BEST DEFENSE

MR VELLA IS AN EXTREMELY FAIR AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ATTORNEY. MY CASE WAS DIFFICULT IN SO MANY WAYS AND MR VELLA KEPT ME CALM AND FOCUSED WHEN I WAS COMING APART. THERE WERE MANY OBSTACLES, HOWEVER, THAT I FELT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HANDLED DIFFERENTLY, BUT THE BATTLE WOULD HAVE GONE ON FOREVER IF I HAD ACTE...D ON EMOTION AND NOT RATIONALITY. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND MR VELLA.

Outstanding Legal Representation

7 years post divorce, thinking I’m finally free and clear of my ex-wife, she decides to try and make “divorce” an occupation and sues me for additional child support, this despite the fact that one of our children had reached the age of emancipation. I had already dealt with several other matrimonial... attorneys all of whom were your typical divorce lawyers, reprehensible human beings whose mantra was, “show me your money and watch me make it disappear”. What a wonderful legal system we have. Bob Vella was referred to me by another attorney. One could only begin to imagine my skepticism. My experience with Mr. Vella was the complete antithesis of my experience with my previous 2 attorneys. He is the pinnacle of professionalism. He shows genuine caring and concern for his clients as well as for their families. His knowledge of the law combined with the obvious respect he commands in the courtroom is beyond reproach. Several judges commented on how lucky I was to have him representing me. While he has a busy practice he was never too busy to take my phone calls and answer my questions. He was always punctual to court dates and most importantly was focused entirely on my case while there rather than running from court room to court room like so many other attorneys do. Needless to say his expertise and professionalism lead to me wining my case. I would recommend Mr. Vella to anyone n need of excellent legal representation
