Speeding ticket, serious violation (allegedly 31 over)...a mess. I reached out to Anthony, he responded immediately, I got him the info he needed, and that was it. My work was done. His was just getting started.
Court date arrived, Anthony attended on my behalf (I did not attend). I received a fine and zero points.
I was referred to Anthony by a friend who told me I'd love this guy, and she was right! If you need an attorney, this is The Man - period. He is responsive, understanding, efficient, and really (really!) good at his job.

I highly recommend Anthony Cillis. He was amazing to work with at a time our options appeared limited, and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible due to living out of state. He explained the process step by step, went above and beyond to get things done quickly, extremely professional, responsive to phone call/emails and followed up all the way to the end. We couldn't have had the outcome we did without him.

I hired Anthony to take over a firearms case on my behalf. Anthony handled this matter quickly and effectively. Anthony was able to have my property returned to me. I could not have asked for a more diligent attorney to work with. Anthony was extremely responsive and always accessible. If ever I need legal representation in the future, I will definitely be hiring Anthony. Highly recommended!

Anthony was hired by me for a complex DWI case. The circumstances around the case won’t be discussed here, but because of the complexities, he was able to adapt to the case. Everything was supposed to be done by the end of March, and then COVID-19 took hold and everything court related was shut down. Because of this, court dates kept getting pushed back and rescheduled. Finally Anthony was able to coordinate with the DA’s office and the court to conduct a remote hearing. Needless to say, because of the environment that COVID-19 put us all in, Anthony was able to adapt to that changing environment flawlessly. I could not ask for a better result!
Anthony is much more than an attorney. He is literally a jack of all trades when it comes to his craft. He will sit there and listen to your concerns, listen to you vent, and will pick you up and dust the dirt off of you when you feel like you’re on the ground. You will not be disappointed with his professionalism and knowledge of the criminal justice system.

I went through an ugly divorce. The x-wife was after everything I owned, houses, cars, machines, money, 401k, even the cats. I was able to keep my assets because the law was in my favor, Anthony wouldn't give up or give in!! Then I hired Anthony to get custody of my kids, and I won! I'll never forget the day he told me i got the kids! Anthony is very intelligent man, you can ask him something about the law and he knows the answer, he doesn't need to check or look into it. Anthony is very confident he knows what he can do and what he cant do I'll never forget the day I told Anthony i want custody of my kids, his reply was, ok let do it.

Mr. Cillis has been in my corner since day one and not just in respect to my case but my personal well being. I could not have asked for better representation.

Anthony has represented me in a few cases. Most importantly my custody case. I’m an extremely involved father, love to be with my son. Anthony made sure I had the time with my son very specifically spelled out in the order. Any issues I’ve had with my sons mother I called Anthony and he puts my worries to rest. I’ve had an issue with child support and Anthony represented me and came to a fair agreement avoiding any further legal action. He’s who I call when I get that terrible text from the ex, a speeding ticket or just a general question.

Anthony has been with me through many aspects of divorce proceedings and post divorce matters as well as another matter. I always knew I was in good hands and the results would be positive, but each time the results were above and beyond. Thank you.

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 .
