After speaking with 15 different attorneys, and about another 10 who didn't respond I found attorney Valerio Giovanni Romano. Not only did Attorney Romano respond quickly, but he was knowledgeable. He was not like other lawyers I have encounter before, who don't know what they are talking about yet still charging you for the time. He not only got the case dismissed on the first court date for a small court fee, he had thing planned and discussed them with me every step of the way. If you're looking for a "Go Getter" you have found the winning team.

Valerio has been my attorney for years. He has represented me on civil matters. Whether it is defending me from the frivolous lawsuits or reviewing contracts for me, I have confidence in Valerio’s ability and dedication. Valerio is responsive, hard-working and thoughtful. He is extremely fair with fees. I recommend Valerio without hesitation.

Valerio and I have been working together for over a year and his committed service level is consistently outstanding. I selected Valerio due to his expertise in medical marijuana law as well as his solid understanding of the rules and regulations developed by the Department of Public Health for its Medical Use of Marijuana Program. Valerio's manner in representing my company is best described as being a business partner vs. an attorney on retainer. He sincerely cares about what he does, how he does it, and who he represents. I can honestly say that getting to where I am today with this DPH program is due to working with Valerio Romano.

Attorney Romano has handled, and continues to handle, several issues for our real estate LLC, including litigation. He tells it as it is, no sugar coating, no padding, so you will have a real picture of your situation and can make informed choices about the direction to take. You will not be prodded into trial, but if you should go to litigation, you will be well-represented in the courtroom as Mr. Romano is always well-prepared, articulate and quick on his feet. We retain Mr. Romano for on-going consultation on contracts and leases.
