My previous attorney departed the firm and Anthony was handed my case halfway through my divorce. Not only did he make me feel comfortable about my case moving forward but he also worked very diligently to catch him self up on my cases history. He is genuine, hard working, maintains thorough correspondence, and will fight aggressively for what is best for his clients. He gives you real talk without the fluff and BS.

Anthony always gives it to you strait. He has helped me on two separate occasions and will always be my lawyer! Thanks for keeping me with my family!

My wife and I consulted with many local attorneys to represent our son who had been charged with a very serious drug offense. After consulting with nearly a dozen attorneys, we decided to hire Anthony Cillis because from the very beginning at our initial consultation he was upfront and brutally honest about the difficulties of our son's case, his maximum exposure and what goals he set out to obtain. Throughout the entire process he kept in continual contact with our son and always kept him informed as to what was happening and why while always keeping us parents feeling confident. He arrived to Court prepared and cautioned our son from jumping at the first offer from the District Attorney, because he knew we could do better and he delivered. Ultimately, our son learned a valuable lesson and more importantly got the help he desperately needed. We know we could not have picked better representation. Thank you so much Mr. Cillis, you saved our son's life!

Going through a divorce is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. After that, it was my ex wife trying to move a distance with my kids. Anthony not only settled my divorce in a fair and civic manner, but was able to block the move and keep my children near me and in the same school district. We spent 2 full days in a trial and Anthony was able to adapt his approach based on the case and changing environment. The judge seemed to always be on our side during the trial. Anthony made my time on the stand less stressful and gave me confidence. Anthony was, and has been, there for me 24/7 for advice, support, and anything else I need. I will be in and out of family court for the next 17 years and he will always be my Lawyer. I can’t thank him enough.

Anthony has become a large part of my life for a few years now, divorce is the hardest thing I have ever had to go thru. Anthony is the Lawyer you want and need on your side! Being a woman I was Leary about having a man represent me for some of the toughest decisions to be made for myself and my children's future. However, when I first consulted with Anthony I knew he was the Attorney I needed. Anthony answered his e-mail's and texts faster than I ever expected a lawyer to do! He was fastidious at all times with the final calculations and decisions to be made. Divorce is awful, and everyone said to me, you need a good lawyer! NYS makes it so difficult and confusing to become legally separated, and or divorced from your spouse. The entire process was exhausting, draining, and expensive. Keep in mind it is only expensive if you and your soon to be Ex are not seeing eye-to-eye. That being said Anthony was involved with my "File" for 3 years!!! It was long and arduous for me, but Anthony made it bearable. I picked a word 6 months into this divorce- Indomitable, and I shared this with Anthony, I needed something to carry me thru this divorce. Anthony said then let's get thru this, breathe, and stick to the plan so you can be Indomitable! There were many times he offered alternatives to my plans, and after careful consideration I was able to make informed decisions, only because of Anthony's advice and knowledge of the legal system. During court appearances Anthony helped to keep me calm, and explained everything to me that I did not understand. He fought for me, every time he stood up to talk to the Judge! He never backed down. I was fortunate to have Anthony as my Lawyer, and grateful for all that he has assisted me with thru the years. Anyone looking for an intelligent hard working Lawyer who lives at his job, then Anthony is the Lawyer to hire. Thru my job I got to see and hear about how Anthony is an excellent Attorney for Criminal cases. Seems to be his Forte right now. Whomever you hire to represent you will be a part of your life for however long your case lasts. Keep that in mind!!! I would trust Anthony Cillis explicitly with any legal matter! I cannot thank him enough for his patience with my raw emotions and confusion, and nervousness getting thru the Divorce process. Court appearances are nerve racking and confusing, it was nice knowing that Anthony knew what he was doing in the court room. Anthony did not waiver with the Judge or the other Attorney involved in the case. Anthony never backed down! Anthony pushed for things no matter what! Even when Anthony did not agree with some of the things I asked for, Anthony went toe-to- toe with the other Attorney. In the end I am more than satisfied with my Attorney. Everyone loses in divorce, but Anthony gave me direction and secured my future for myself and my children. In my Divorce paperwork he has helped me think of all that I needed and if I missed something he researched it and we figured it out. Professional, Patient and Diligent. Hard working!! If you need an Attorney- Anthony Cillis is who I would recommend. Thank you Anthony!

From the moment I met Anthony , I had total confidence that i was hiring the best possible defense attorney to handle my case. He put my mind at ease and immediately went to work! Anthony was on top of the proceedings and always one step ahead of the prosecutor's office. Durning this stressful , difficult time in my life ,Mr. Cillis was there with me every step of the way. Needless to say ,Anthony's tiredless efforts paid off and justice was served ! I HOPE I never need a defense attorney again, but if I do , there would be no one else i would turn to but Anthony .

Mr. Cillis has gone above and beyond durning the time I've had him as my lawyer. Not only did he continuously have my best interest at heart but my children's as well. It wasn't a cut and dry case, it came with a lot of ups and downs and a ton of baggage, but with the amount of professionalism, determination and tenacity everything worked out,. And most of all the trust and respect that I have for Mr. Cillis has made the entire journey bearable.

Mr. Cillis represented me in a legal matter that literally affected all aspects of my life. It turned my world upside down and I was convinced the outcome would be detrimental to my existing lifestyle. At each step of the process, Mr. Cillis was very communicative. He returned every worried email and phone call with rapid response and assurances of what I should expect at each court appearance. He dispelled my fears, not only with his legal knowledge but with words of kindness which made this terrible event easier to deal with.

Mr. Cillis represented me this past summer with a complicated DWI that would have had serious ramifications on my employment had I been convicted of the original charge. Mr. Cillis was able to negotiate a reduction despite being nearly twice the legal limit and so I would not need to have the blower installed in my car. He was always quick to answer my calls and emails, always took the time to explain things needing clarification. I would recommend Mr. Cillis to anyone that finds themselves in trouble.
