I first used Mr A. ANGELO DI'MILLO when I was 18, I am now 29 and have been through a lot, both criminally, and with family issues. I got in quite the mess of trouble in 2008 with a total of 8 felony charges, and 14 misdemeanors, 3 separate instances(dockets), 2 different local police agencies (city, and county). Upon first meeting Angelo I immediately new this guy meant business, he was very thorough, slick, and professional. Immediately I knew I could trust him and wanted his representation. With the amount of charges I had, not many lawyers are even willing to try to tackle such a case. Angelo was there for me from start to finish, he was able to combine everything into one case, pleading to one 'E' felony, and the diversion program, Mr DiMillo saved my freedom, and therefore my life. I will never think of hiring any other lawyer.
In 2012, I was blessed with the most important thing in my life, my son. This year, 2014, his mother and I split up. I had to fight for my son, so I went to Angelo, the result.... I am now sitting with the most important person in my life, the person that taught me what love really is, my son.
Angelo DiMillo is the absolute best lawyer in Lockport, NY and wny. In my eyes, he's the best in the world. I am forever grateful. From criminal defense, to family law and everything in between, Mr DiMillo is the best, and trust me I've seen a lot come through the court rooms, and stand in front of a very tough judge.

I'm having issues with a new tenant that moved in from Arizona I was happy for them at first because it was my downstairs neighbor daughter and husband one day I asked them not to use anything on my side of the garage and he came running out to me as I was getting the mail and using vulgarity and flipping me off he got in my face and then lifted his jacket I seen something and then he push me and I'm disabled so I gave them a little shop back grabs his shirt and just held my hand on his neck and held him down didn't put them on the ground and nothing and I asked him if he was done he said yes and walked away I called the police and press charges against him the landlord is not doing his job and telling him about what's going on I've been here for almost 8 years it's a four unit apartment building right now I'm waiting for the place to send me a letter because I wanted an order of protection against him because he's purposely slamming doors making it rough for me to even go downstairs and wash my clothes and yes he did have a handgun that he brought from Arizona to New York the police did take the gun and all they've been doing is lying about the situation to the landlord I am very very afraid for my health because any other sudden push could basically snap my back and I'd be paralyzed its been 2 weeks since the incident and my neck my left arm are still numb because it pinched a nerve in my neck my sciatica I need to know if there's anything that I could do because I really don't want to move and the landlord doesn't want me to move because I've been here so long and I'm a good tenant Plus I've been taking care of her father that is downstairs below me 93 years old he fought in World War 2 he can barely walk so I've been washing his feet and legs and cutting his toenails shopping for him and taking him to the doctor when you can't drive Plus the tenant was told not to go in my mailbox at all I have a mind Video camcorder of him first flipping me off which he didn't know I had a camcorder going and then he went to the four mailboxes he told the landlord that he was only going to go in the middle to well I got him again going to all the mailboxes again I need to know what to do and how to proceed I have no charges against me from him but I have a feeling I need to protect myself so if you can get back to me and let me know what to do with the sheriff's department and with the video I had to have my email stopped from being delivered have to pick it up every six days at the post office thank you very much Douglas Lozina

Mr. Muscato has earned both my respect and my trust. On his advice, I took charges from the Lockport police dept. to trial and won the case. He is very knowledgeable and trustworthy and is also an excellent communicator. I can't thank him enough for his hard work. Highly recommended.

Worked with this law firm to buy property in March. It has been over 5 months and we still do not have the deed to our property. We called multiple times with no return phone call and went into the office 2 times to be told they don’t have it but not to worry they have a photo copy. The county says it was sent to their office months ago.

Everyone ready to close on the real estate property....except....no one can find this guy. No one answers calls, no return calls to other attorney, to clients or real estate agents. Causing hardship to all parties involved. Everyone stuck waiting on this guy.......no one knows where he is.

Hired Mr. Vona to handle multiple real estate closing (2 residential & 1 commercial). Always kept me informed and all 3 closed on time. Also used for multiple promissory notes. Mr. Vona always gave great advice which really helped when it mattered most. Would I recommend him? Absolutely!

I retained andrew Vona for a divorce, it was extremely hard to get ahold of him it seems as though he had to many clients to get back to me in a timely manner (a week). andrew was asked on several occasions to call witnesses that could of been important parts of my case and he did not. Early on in my case my soon to be ex wife' s boyfriend called andrew and told andrew that he was dating my wife, andrew told me about it because andrew's response was "he was a client of mine, I handled his divorce" meaning my wife's boyfriend, I then asked if it would be a conflict for andrew and if he hangs out with this guy or knows him outside of the previous divorce, Andrews response "No". As my case continued and there was a chance I was going to need an order of protection for my kids and I from this guy andrew continued to rack up my fees and then the day before one of my court dates that was crucial to custody of my three children andrew resigned because he said "it was a conflict of interest to put a order of protection on his client meaning my wife's boyfriend.

This firm has been the most unprofessional, incompetent company I've ever worked with. It would take days to return phone calls or emails if they returned them at all. I was left at closing with no access to my funds which they were supposed to have available from my sale. I had to do the work I hired Pat George to do and at the end she still charged me over $1600 to close ONE real estate deal. STAY AWAY! This firm is out for your money and seems to not understand the basics of closing a real estate deal.
