Showed compassion for what I was going through, more importantly what Pete has been through.

Absolutely outstanding legal representation! Mr. John Ianelli is a true professional who went above and beyond to assist me with my legal needs in Fishkill. His expertise, dedication, and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. He made a potentially daunting situation much more manageable and ensured a successful outcome. I couldn't be more grateful for his services, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance in Fishkill. Thank you, Mr. Ianelli, for your exceptional work!

We spoke with about 8-10 attorneys before coming to him and were met with not great resultso. Even though we did not end up hiring him because of the complicated case we had, he broke everything down for us and explained it all in laymen terms for us to understand. If we had known him sooner, we would have hired him in a heartbeat. He took the time to explain everything and answered every single one of our questions until we were satisfied and understood, knowing full well he could not take the case. If we had known him first, we would have definitely hired him no matter the cost.

Never called back..I left 3 message on 3 different days

He raised his voice to me several times and hung up on me even after asking him not to do that. Also, if you ever have an encounter with the Fishkill police department, stay away from Ianelli. He has a Fishkill police department coffee mug right on his desk. I ran so many options I wanted to try and his answer was no to everything. He goes through the motions but I did not see any fight in him...only towards me not the DA.

I have used Mr. McDermott and have recommended him to several friends all of whom were very satisfied with his work. He has over 20 years of experience and many excellent reviews on Avvo and other review sites. His experience makes a difficult process much easier to understand and much easier to get through!!

Absentee lawyer. You’ll hear from him one week and then nothing for weeks! When you do hear from him again, you’ll repeat yourself from previous conversations and get charged again for it. Seems to side with opposing council and doesn’t go to bat for you much. Talks a good talk though. Long drawn out process with astronomical fees. Glad it’s over with! I do not recommend!

John has been my attorney for five years and I must say he is excellent attorney. He listen to your needs and do provide great counsel. I would recommend him to any small business that need guidance.

I was very young and poor. I was married to my now ex-husband in 1990. It was 1996 when another attorney recommended Kevin to me. I had been physically separated 4 full years from my soon to be ex-husband. I had met someone shortly after I left my ex with our son. He was order to pay a mere $25 dollars a week from Family Court. I never did receive a dime from the father, but I was working full time and so was my new beau. I was living a happy life with my son and he really loved my boyfriend, so for my future to move forward I needed a divorce. Yet, I was financially strapped and tried filing an uncontested myself. Sadly, I was naive to the court requirements. I was turned away. That was when Kevin stepped in and saved me. He told me to get the money for the RJI and Docket number and we could move forward. He explained he would do the work free of charge. It took 6 short months for me to have a signed divorce in my hands. Now, he asked me if I wanted a job. I immediately accepted. Kevin taught me how to do everything on the computer and I naturally took up organizing everything. After a very short period of time I was a full fledged secretary and process server for a law office. Kevin restored pride in my self and a paycheck. I became pregnant and worked from home answering forwarded call to my home. I took a brief hiatus when Kevin had other work lined up in NYC. I eventually came back to work for Kevin again in 1999. While I worked for Kevin running the ship in his Goshen office I was welcomed to bring my 1 1/2 year old child into work with me everyday. The generous money I earned made me able to pay for my dream wedding. Of course Kevin and his beautiful wife were in attendance. Having had Kevin as not only my attorney, but my boss as well, I can tell you he has been in this business a very long time. I can say that now having practically grown up with Kevin at age 21 and now being a grandmother. He is incredibly smart, driven, dedicated, energetic, fierce, fair, knowledgeable, warm, kind, caring and reasonable. He will not lead you to believe in a fairytale outcome. He may fight hard, but he does so very realistically. I believe the term is, "won't blow smoke up your butt". He will keep your victories in the realm of possibility assuring you to win. I know Kevin personally and he is one of the hardest working attorneys I know. Don't let his youthful appearance fool you, he is a weathered lawyer. I hope this helps anyone on the fence. Thank you Kevin for all that you have done for me over the years.
