Initially, we sought the services of a law firm where George served as a contracted attorney as the co-leader of the team. Over time, our original attorneys became increasingly unresponsive. Recognizing the need for decisive action, George smoothly transitioned from his co-leader position to lead our case. His remarkable ability to manage this shift and the case itself was commendable. George’s deep commitment to understanding the intricacies of our situation enabled him to leverage his vast legal knowledge with precision. His foresight in anticipating and explaining potential outcomes, along with their broader implications, was crucial, ensuring we were always informed about every facet of our case. With George’s guidance, the legal process was demystified, communicated in a way that was both clear and accessible. His steadfast support and guidance were constant, providing us with the confidence and understanding we needed at every stage of the judicial process.

I was introduced to George a year ago through a mutual colleague. George has been quite helpful and instrumental in my launching a new LLC company. He has been knowledgeable, resourceful, and very communicative.
He recommended a reliable source with whom to establish the LLC.
Once it was set up, George helped me track down a logo I wanted for my company, assuring I had full, unencumbered legal rights to it. He went above and beyond by tracking the logo that was created in the Ukraine. This entailed numerous emails requiring translation and interpretation of nuances dealing with a foreigner. During this process communications proceeded seamlessly.
George is a reliable, resourceful, ethical lawyer. I'd recommend him highly, without reservation.

Excellent Attorney, Established A Great Relationship
I had the pleasure to meet and work with Mr. Paul Cutrone in 2019. I had taken the advice of a dear friend who had highly recommended Mr. Cutrone for a malpractice case I was in need of representation.
From the first initial intake with Paul he was nothing short of absolute professionalism. Each and every time I spoke with him he took the time to listen to every detail and concern of mine. Mr. Cutrone always kept me informed of the steps along with explaining his role and mine as it would take part throughout my case. I always felt very well prepared and confident as the case progressed and that I know was a huge attribute to Mr. Cutrone and his commitment to my case.
He always put the needs of my own above all. Mr. Cutrone is exceedingly knowledgeable in his practice of law and shows up committed and dedicated in Working For You!!
This October of 2022 I was finally able to put closure to a difficult time in my life, and while from 2019 to 2022 and during a Covid shutdown..... where many attorney's may have slowed down, Paul did not!
Mr. Cutrone delivered on his word and never stopped in driving my case to move ahead even when the world had to stop, he did not.
I want to personally thank Mr. Cutrone for everything he did for me and my family. I never had to do this alone, Mr. Cutrone was not only the right decision in representing me but also the Best!
THANK YOU!

Paul did an excellent job . He kept me informed and up to date on the progression of the lawsuit I had filed. He was very professional along with being very caring and while he is a very busy man he never failed to respond to me. He explained everything and any documents that had to be signed in a timely manner were sent with instructions carefully explained. I felt confident with him from the beginning and that I was more than a number to him. I would highly recommend him.

I won't go into personal detail of my case, but i can remember the first day i met Mr. Muccini. He was appointed to me by the court, so at first hand i thought to myself here goes someone who does not care about me I'm just a file he was handed. I can say now I WAS TOTALLY WRONG!!!!!. From that day forward Mr. Muccini took and handled my case as if i was paying him out my own pocket. He was always available to me 24-7 , to answer the smallest of questions i had, he never missed a single court date. But the MOST IMPORTANT PART IS HIS TRIAL PREPARATION AND DETAIL TO HIS WORK. WE TOOK MY CASE TO TRIAL AFTER COUNTLESS COURT DATES, I WAS INVOLVED AND INFORMED FROM START TO FINISH AND IN THE END MR. MUCCINI WON MY CASE, I HAD 8 CHARGES ALL FELONY CHARGES FOUND NOT GUILTY. MR. MUCCINI SAVED MY LIFE AND THAT'S WHY I'M ABLE TO LEAVE THIS REVIEW. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO FAMILY, FRIENDS, A COMPLETE STRANGER. HE'S WHO YOU WANT FIGHTING FOR YOU IN THE COURT ROOM WHEN YOUR LIFE MATTERS TO YOU.

I hired Mr. Muccini for a criminal matter. He was highly recommended by another client. His fees were reasonable, he called me back right away, and he was very calming at a time when I was extremely worried about my situation. He negotiated a great deal for me with the DA.
