Romano Law PLLC Review

First of all, as a disclaimer, I am Domenic Romano's brother. That said, this is my honest review of his professional legal services.

I am a voiceover artist based out of Los Angeles, California (BATMAN, CURIOUS GEORGE, NBC). Domenic and his associates at Romano Law have provided me with well over a decade of service. Domenic and his team are incredible at what they do. They provide excellent service, one on one communication, and their work is not only detailed but impeccable. They have negotiated contracts for me with NBC, FOX SPORTS, ABC, and other entertainment companies of all sizes, as well as many business contracts and dealings. I can tell you that having Domenic on your team is what you want. He is the most straight shooting, tell-it-like-it-is, knowledgeable, talented lawyer you will ever meet. Plain and simple - he is very very good at what he does. Trust me, I grew up with this guy - which honestly wasn't always easy, but I'll tell you this: when push comes to shove: THIS is the guy you want standing over your right shoulder, and when need be, standing right in front of you.

Strong negotiations, yet done with grace and charm; never off-putting, and always gets the results. A+++ for Domenic Romano and ROMANO LAW.

Sincerely,
Rino Romano
Los Angeles, CA

We're very happy with the work Romano Law has been doing. We have nothing but good things to say about them, we love their whole team, the flexibility, their understanding of the issues, and the overall dedication. It's been a pleasure working with them. We would definitely recommend their services to others!

Romano Law practices law at the highest standard of the profession. They did an excellent job in providing legal and business support in negotiating a television deal for me. I highly recommend Romano Law.

What a great experience working with Romano Law!! everyone is so nice and professional!! I would recommend this firm to everyone. Thankyou Romano law:)

closed my dance studio of 35 years in NYC due to the pandemic this spring of 2020. I needed legal advice and was referred to the Romano Law firm. I want to thank Romano Law for the time and effort their team put in regarding my situation as a small business owner who was not sure what my rights during this ongoing pandemic . The laws were unclear and changing everyday.
In Mid-March 2020 the Federal Government put me out of business and after 3 months of lock-down and no income, we had no choice but to terminate our lease.
I read that the city council and Mayor Bill de Blassio had initiated a bill that would restrict my landlord from enforcing the lease and could not penalize business owners like me from being closed down by the pandemic.
The city Council and the Mayor believe it would be unjust for Landlords to kick" NYC small business owners (like me) when we are already knocked-down .
Dominick and his team of lawyers read my lease diligently and caught a detail I overlooked (the fact that I never signed the Good Guy Clause on my lease). That was a nice relief.
I want to thank Domenic and his team for consulting with me and contacting my landlords lawyers to attempt negotiation with them.
I hope this matter is resolved and I am moving forward with my new life without my dance studio business.
Thank You Domenic
Stay well!

Domenic and Shaliz negotiated a severance package with an employer that far exceeded my expectations. They helped me get a deal that was equitable and swift, always taking time to talk through their next steps patiently, and asking if I was comfortable with the terms. What I love about their style is that they are utterly knowledgeable, handle themselves with class and yet have sharp teeth when they need to strategically get something accomplished.

In every negotiation, I always felt like my best interests were a priority for them! These stellar attorneys are accessible, take time to check in frequently and get the job done. Five star firm for sure!

I had the pleasure of working with Romano Law on multiple projects. Domenic and his team provided instrumental value as legal counsel on the feature documentary Chasing Madoff. Their ability to execute on complex deal structuring and negotiations with honesty, integrity and respect make them a firm that I recommend to anyone seeking counsel in the entertainment industry.

I've had a very positive experience with Romano Law. Having no experience in forming and launching a company, they walked me through all the critical steps and followed up throughout my first year to check on the company and provide further advice.

I can't say enough good things about working with Romano Law. From my initial introduction, to their ability to quickly get up to speed regarding the business was extremely helpful and integral to our contractual negotiations.

I came to Romano Law through a referral. Domenic Romano took time to explain my options for an employment related issue. The staff, especially Paolo, was courteous, knowledgeable and they took the time to explain what was happening and communicated in a timely manner.
If another legal situation arises I will definitely call Romano Law.

I wanted to quickly post about how Romano Law enabled me to sell my business. The combination of having a business broker to get potential buyers to the table, and then having a competent, reasonable, but strong firm representing my interests - allowed me to do what I thought impossible.

They weren t the first firm I chose, but they certainly were the last. When you have intelligent people working on your behalf, it gives you the peace of mind that you are not climbing an uphill battle. Like most people, I have never sold a business before. Every step of the way my head was spinning, trying to learn as Ia go, wondering if I had made some critical mistake that would end up shooting myself in the foot.

All that changed once I retained the services of Romano Law. I could sleep easy knowing that whatever the outcome was, I did not leave anything on the table. The sale eventually went through, and I could not be happier with the results. This has been nothing short of life changing.

Don t leave things up to chance choose Romano Law.

I am a practicing dentist, practice owner and entrepreneur who resides in Virginia that uses Romano Law. Attorneys Domenic Romano and Shaliz Shadig practice the type of law where the relationship is bigger than the deal. They are easily accessible; get invested in your business venture (at times they even cheer you on); and are top notch attorneys with the highest level of professionalism. At Romano Law they make me feel like a priority. Kenneth R. Eye II, DDS

We had engaged Romano s legal services for a recent professional negotiation and were very happy with their service. They ensured a quick and comprehensive review of all documents with astute insights. I would definitely recommend their service.

Responsiveness is everything when our Board of Director s needed an attorney firm. We were referred by a freind, our first engagement with Romano Law firm. They listened and was very sensitive to our needs. More importantly, they were honest and professional in their responses. We felt immediately relieved after our first engagement. Domenic and Aaron were our champions. Our legal needs were completed timely. I also appreciated they requested a Post meeting with no charge. We will continue using their services moving forward.

Domenic and Shaliz are attentive and knowledgeable. I can talk to them about anything big or small, highly recommend them and their team.

Romano Law has been incredibly helpful to me for my business. They built out a bunch of my contract documents and paperwork, and are always there whenever I need them. They are really prompt to respond, and always happy to talk me through various ins and outs of legal situations that arise. I am so grateful to have them. They are also very prompt to respond and turn around requests if they are urgent, and overall fantastic to work with.

I was referred to Romano Law in 2016 through the New York City Bar Association for help with entertainment law, specifically signing contracts within the entertainment industry.

Before working with Domenic Romano, I was anxious about signing a legal document in what can be a competitive industry. I held off on signing anything for 9 months because of how intimidating the process was. But when I finally met with Domenic, I was put at ease. He walked me through the process of contract negotiation, translated the legal jargon into everyday language, and gave me advice on what was best for my career.

I hired Domenic for legal representation because of how easy he and his team are to work with. They are quick to return my messages, took the time to get to know me, remember who I am, and are just genuinely friendly people.

After being with Romano Law for three years and working with them on multiple projects, I give them my highest recommendation. I feel well represented and now have the confidence to tackle new opportunities in the entertainment industry.

I highly recommend Romano Law Firm. Domenic and his team helped me navigate the confusing and emotionally challenging task of separating from my business partner. They guided me thru the buyout process, informed me of the things I needed to consider, and had my back every step of the way. Top notch service throughout! Highly recommend.

Domenic is more than an attorney. He truly listens, cares and wants the best outcome for his clients. He also hears what's "unsaid" and that speaks to his high EQ. His intelligence, graciousness, tenacity and insight is invaluable. I've known him for over 20 years and he continues to be my go-to for any issues or projects I may have that require his counsel.

Great experience. Team at Romano law was responsive, efficient and worked with me on a tight deadline to execute a deal during significant uncertainty in the market. Highly recommended.

The team at Romano Law are awesome. They provide practical, clear answers, options and expert direction while also being empathetic and professional about your personal situation. I felt heard and I felt supported by the entire team and their dedication to helping me resolve the situation was genuine and so very much appreciated. I trust that they had my welfare in mind before anything else. Highly recommend and plan to keep them as my legal team for any future needs for my small business and my family.

I had the best experience and best professional help I could have dreamed of. the counsel always took the time and effort to explain the judicial possibilities and possible outcome and I am so thankful for all the team at romano law. they are not only experienced but also very emphatic and I am ever thankful.

I can't recommend Domenic Romano, Shaliz Irani and the legal team at Romano Law highly enough. They are knowledgeable and sophisticated legal advisors. They managed a tough negotiation for me and brought it to a satisfactory conclusion. Their expertise is broad and they were meticulous and accessible throughout the process. Great attorneys for any artists or businesspeople looking to ensure that their interests are properly protected.

Partisan Pictures has engaged the services of Romano Law the past year to review our films with the aim of avoiding inadvertent infringement of various sorts. Domenic and his team have been a pleasure to work with and are best described as highly professional, readily available, and sincerely interested in preserving the quality and content of our projects. Most importantly, they have consistently provided us with thorough reviews and well-considered legal and practical solutions for any areas of concern. We are grateful for their service and the peace-of-mind it allows is an added bonus!

The Romano Law firm is simply the Best! They got the issue resolved quickly and helped us reach a good settlement. Without their help, we could have gone down a long road of papers and no results. Thank you for your outstanding work!

Domenic, Elizabeth and all the staff have been a pleasure to deal with. A highly professional and attentive collective, I highly recommend them.

I recently engaged Romano Law for a dispute. I was very concerned about choosing a firm that had a strong history of representing their clients in a strong and ethical way. I was very cautious in selecting Romano as I did not know what to expect out of a New York Law Firm. My experience was incredible. From the first day speaking with Domenic and then further with their entire staff, I was impressed with their professionalism, their focus and listening to my needs and wants and not pushing an independent agenda. Nicole Haff was a amazing!!!! She and the team fought hard for me and I was completely satisfied. If you are looking for representation and not sure who to pick, please call Romano today!

I don't usually write reviews on anything! But For Romano Laws I'll do it with a big smile!
It was a quick experiencing dealing with Romano but it was enough for me to consider them my first recommendation for all my future clients. The conversations that I had with Dominic made feel comfortable and assured me that I have the support and backup from really amazing people...

Domenic Romano has represented my company for about 1 year now.
As someone who frequently needs an attorney for various business matters, I've worked with many firms over the years and working with Domenic is truly a pleasure and a breath of fresh air.
Domenic puts my business and my interests first, if there's a big deal on the table that would result in many hours of work for Domenic and his firm, If he does not agree with it, I know I can trust him to guide me in the right direction regardless if that means less work for him.
As someone with much experience working with many different firms, above all else that is the most important thing you can look for and sadly it's hard to find these days. Most attorneys just want to bill as many hours as possible.

There's also something different about Domenic, besides being a well-rounded attorney who is extremely knowledgeable in the law, Domenic is also extremely knowledgeable on how business is conducted. His advice has not only helped us close deals but has helped improve those deals. Domenic gets my highest recommendation.

The team at Romano Law were brilliant when it came to getting through to a challenging client. I'm not sure how a small business like mine could have so successfully negotiated this particular contract without their strategic, detail oriented approach with such a giant, slow moving, corporate entity .

If you are searching for the absolute best IP law team in NYC, look no further. Domenic, Sam, and the rest of the team bring the perfect blend of toughness and legal brilliance to their approach. I was having an ugly dispute with my employer who was inexplicably withholding payment but still profiting off my work. Domenic and Sam worked tirelessly on my behalf, and my employer settled immediately and I had my $ within days. Romano Law is without a doubt the team you want in your corner.

I was fortunate to work with Aaron and I can say that he was engaged in active listening throughout our meetings/interactions and I felt that he was really on my side to understand what I requested. To be specific, I was pleased by how he leveled with me and explained the complexities of the law and legal terms in a friendly and easier way. I was also pleased by the fact that he was considerate of my time and because he returned phone calls and e-mails quickly. I recommend his services. Again thank you for your assistance. Daniel

A great client experience. Romano Law was extremely attentive to detail and very thorough in their work with my company. I will be utilizing Romano Law moving forward without hesitation.

I had to deal with an extremely difficult time-sensitive situation across several states that involved the closing of an LLC, the review of corporate documents, and the execution of several key documents. I was referred to Romano Law by a personal friend and my overall experience was very positive. They treated me with respect, provided me with sound counsel and remained professional throughout a very emotional and stressful process. Rose and Domenic in particular handled my case with class. They let me know what my expenses were going to be an offered affordable solutions when there were items I could have easily dealt with myself. I don't know of another law firm that would work with a client like that vs. just racking up billable hours. If I am ever involved in a dispute of this nature again, Romano Law will be my first call. I highly recommend this firm and its partners.

I am a CPA with more than 40 years of experience in public accounting and investment banking. In the course of my career, I have had frequent occasion to interact with many of the nation's leading law firms. Recently, Romano Law successfully represented me in connection with a complex and challenging legal dispute. In all respects, the performance of Romano Law far exceeded my expectations. In my estimation, Romano Law consistently displayed an unsurpassed level of professionalism, sophistication, responsiveness and integrity. Without reservation, I enthusiastically recommend the legal services of Romano Law.

Always grateful to Domenic and his excellent team for their sound advice and counsel on many matters pertaining to independent documentary film. Keep up the great work guys!

Domenic and his team are great - unfailingly professional, prompt, and responsive. They helped me set up an LLC and made a potentially complex process very easy. I recommend Romano Law enthusiastically.

Romano Law was referred to me by a good friend and I couldn't be more thrilled. Excellent contract negotiations, super quick responses and top notch counsel. Dominic, Samuel, and Leah are totally on point. I definitely plan on staying with the firm and truly feel I am in great hands.

Highly recommend Romano Law and their staff. I started working with them on a contract and was amazed by the way Romano Law looked at my case from not just my contract but my overall business prospective. They ask questions and provide insight I've never gotten from any other firm. I use Romano Law for all my legal representation now and have never been in better hands!

I have worked with Domenic and his team since 2005. Romano Law is always there to guide, support and make it all go smoothly. They are always available and there for you.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank Domenic Romano and associates for a job "well done". Domenic Romano is an excellent, well informed and hard working lawyer. He is very respectful of all concerned parties. He is confident and has the ability to face any challenge. I'm most impressed with Mr. Romano's thorough professionalism, his expertise was very important and helpful in bringing about a successful resolution of the case. Thanks again! Errico Polsinelli

Romano law features lawyers who are extremely smart, skilled, and tireless. They are also great people. I relied on Domenic and his team for a complicated and challenging employment/contract law issue. From beginning to end, my lawyers at Romano stayed several steps ahead of opposing counsel and constantly kept me informed. Domenic Romano, Nicole Haff, and Aaron Deitch made the process rewarding and satisfying. After more than a year of fierce advocacy on my behalf, they earned us justice and a victory. Equally impressive, they did it above board and by honoring the highest ethical and moral principles. If you are looking for sleazy ambulance chasers who will cut corners, go elsewhere. But, if you are seeking attorneys who will beat the other side into submission through knowledge, attention to detail, and skills, you will not find a better firm than Romano. Whether you are heading into a major battle or just have a question on something that may seem minor, give them a call. I got the justice I was seeking. I also made friends for life. That is how highly I think of my legal team at Romano they are terrific attorneys who are also wonderful people.

My wife and I work in television and have been navigating the ever-changing waters of television development deals. I must say that without Domenic and his team at Romano Law, those waters would have been nearly impossible to navigate. The dedication, drive, and work ethic we've experienced with this firm is unmatched in our experience. Highly recommended.

As a business coach, Domenic Romano is my go to guy for all of my clients needs.
He is the opposite of what normal comes to mind when you think of a lawyer. He is responsive, honest, totally knowledgable and all around great guy! Highly recommend and often do!

Grateful to have found Romano Law. They were extremely professional and committed to getting the job over the finish line. I recommend them highly.

I have worked with Romano Law extensively with legal matters related to my music career. I'm a singer/songwriter/pianist and their attention to detail and great advice have proven very valuable to me. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again. Domenic, Shaliz and the whole team are a great choice if you are looking for legal representation in the entertainment industry.

I've worked with Domenic and his team at Romano Law on various film and media projects over the last three years, and working with them has made all the difference. From day one Domenic and his team have been professional, friendly, and have made everything incredibly easy for me, all the while working tirelessly on my behalf. Domenic and his team have become trusted advisors to me, who are more than willing to lend their years of expertise in the entertainment industry to offer guidance. I am consistently impressed with their ability to secure excellent contracts -
thanks to their help I've been able to secure the rights to a very competitive property, under an incredible deal that could not have come without Romano Law's assistance. I simply cannot recommend them any higher.

Romano Law has helped both my client and I immensely through various difficult, hard to navigate situations. Domenic's mannerisms always make tense situations tame and help to keep all parties at ease to negotiate in the clearest frame of mind. I'm consistently impressed by the way in which Domenic and the rest of the firm advice, cater to, and fight for their clients. I'm not sure I've ever written a recommendation before but I feel so strongly about Romano Law, I was compelled to.

Establishing a startup with a complicated business model is almost impossible to do in NYC. Romano Law PLLC made this possible and so much easier for us. They did all the research of the ins and out of the industry we are in. They always go above and beyond our questions, making sure that we are well-informed and covered in all fronts. What I appreciated the most are the constant follow-ups they do. On many occasions, the team always extended courtesy services that's beyond the scope of our retainer agreement. Domenic's team - Shaliz, Marie and everyone are just awesome professionals to work with.

I'm writing here to communicate my phenomenal experience of having worked closely with Romano Law PLLC, which resulted in the creation of a completely customized Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for my technology startup.

Another reviewer already hit the nail on the head: "Romano Law practices law at the highest standard of the profession." This statement captures the essence of what it's like to work with the attorneys here. Every email and phone call was professional and friendly, ending with all questions answered, all issues resolved, all doubt erased, and all expectations exceeded.

Like all tech startups exploring new terrain, a host of potential legal complications follow. These situations unique to every company can only be dealt with effectively by attorneys who have mastered their craft and can adapt to a rapidly changing landscape. Paolo was able to do just that and create Terms of Use and Privacy Policy documents that intelligently and surgically protect my company and its assets, while providing enough leeway to encourage quick growth. All I had to do was relay my vision for the organization, and Paolo and his feedback loops did the rest.

Paolo was completely transparent and honest throughout the process, including when he was uncomfortable answering more delicate questions. These were relayed to senior attorneys and promptly resolved. Paolo was especially good at determining what's extremely important to the company's best interests, and reiterating those points to me even after I'd been stubborn. After further thought, he was most certainly right about the most contentious suggestion.

The most important takeaway for me was how little I really knew about the science that goes into crafting legal documents. This huge learning experience would have been painful, had it not been for Paolo's transference of knowledge and patiently bearing with all my crazy questions. Upon reviewing the documents, it dawned on me that if I had worked with another law firm, it's possible I wouldn't have known that documents of the highest quality had just been delivered. With Romano Law, you know you're working with the best because the work speaks for itself.

Last but not least, when working with Romano Law you can tell they're about more than just business. They're good people looking to work with good people and form lasting relationships. The world could use more of this kind of company.

Should my startup succeed, I hope to be working with Romano Law for a very long time. I can't recommend them enough.

Jake LaMotta the Raging Bull and I contacted the Romano Law Firm when we were having questions concerning trademark infringement. That one phone call answered by Robert and referred to Rose led to a mutual concern on Jake's behalf in general by the whole team. Domenic, Shaliz and Rose tirelessly pored over reams of information on Jake including all original documents etc. This was not an easy task. Through their efforts a good contract is being signed to move forward with Jake's new film "Bronx Bull" as well as his upcoming documentary "Moving Forward: the Untold Story of Jake LaMotta". Without their dedication to uncover the truth and apply it to present situations as they occur we would not be able to effectively navigate the sometimes turbulent course of Jake's life and career! However with them we cannot lose! We recommend this firm to everyone in the entertainment industry.

My partner and I engaged Romano law to help negotiate terms with an Entertainment Contract. Domenic and his team were extremely accessible and helpful throughout the process, and we feel strongly that their consultation resulted in the best possible deal. Well worth the investment and would definitely come back to Romano Law for any related consultation or representation.

Romano Law embodies that unique combination of strategy and execution. They listen, provide wise counsel and then make it happen - directly or through a network of partners. We've consistently had exceptional experience and will continue to rely them.

Romano Law is the best. Shaliz is an amazing attorney who saved my company!
