I have used Artie Venti for a criminal and civil matter and both times I don't think I could have picked a better attorney. He was compassionate and informative. Most recently we are dealing with a civil matter in which the defendant is extremely difficult. Artie is using his expertise to get me a maximum return of the money that is owed to me. I'm so glad I found him and was able to retain him as my attorney.

I was represented by Mr Hawkins back in 2008 in a DUI case. After a year and a half of prosecutors pushing my case back Mr Hawkins figured out a way to get my case completely dismissed. I don't know much about law or even how he did it or figured it out but i will be forever grateful for how he handled my case

Driving home from work one evening after getting laid off from my job because my Green Card expired, I was feeling sad and lost my thoughts racing toward a head on collision with devastation. That's when I saw The Ottley Law Firm sign stating "specialist on immigration". Immediately i felt a spark of hope, I pulled over, parked my car and cautiously pushed the door and went into the office. I was greeted by the secretary who introduced herself, "Hi I'm Lynnae how can i help you?" I explained my situation her, and she gave me the appropriate forms to fill out, she then arranged the meeting with Mr. Ottley. After the consultation, which incurs a moderate fee, my paperwork was submitted to USCIS. In a few weeks I was interviewed and received my green card on the spot. The spark became a bonfire of opportunities. My problem with immigration is solved, no more looking over my shoulders. Thank you Mr. Ottley for your selflessness, and lots of respect to Ms. Lynnae on her professional manners

I worked with Ms. Bergan to settle a comp case for my shoulder. I had trepidations about rejecting my first settlement offer and she put my fears to rest. Nancy is a consummate professional who deals exclusively with Workers Compensation. I think that this focus is beneficial to the client, as her attention and time are not diverted to other practice areas that could draw attention away from the importance of YOUR case.
She is realistic, practical and very responsive. You will always know the current disposition of your case and she makes sure that you get every penny that you are entitled to. My case was resolved in an incredibly short time and was pleased with the outcome. I would not hesitate to retain her services again in the future.

Richard Bonfiglio has been my divorce case lawyer for almost 7 years. He is genuinely skilled in the practice and never miss the opportunity to educate me about the law. On trial, he circumvented his opponent without an inch of attitude in order to gain respect and agreement from judge. Capable of quickly process large volumes of information due to solid professional knowledge and calm attitude, Richard is also blessed with excellent math, writing and memory skills. During the course of the trial, the judge noted Richard's unusually modest fees request, to which this lawyer answer was : "I can work by myself, no need for extras ". Richard Bonfiglio is now happily retired and lives in a peaceful country environment with his family. I am glad that I could leave this review today

Both partners of the firm have helped me. Ms. Taffe has been great in helping with our immigration difficulties. She takes the time to accommodate our schedules and advise us through the complex process. She is very blunt, transparent, and diligent in her communication, and representation.
Lincoln, excellent criminal defense attorney. He was able to negotiate an excellent plea for my son. It feels great having a fellow West Indian on your side advocating on your behalf.
Taffe and Walters you Rock! The firm that cares indeed....
