I retained this firm after I was in a car accident. I suffered a shoulder injury and I was very nervous. Mr. Casella was able to have all my medical bills paid for by the insurance company and got most of my salary reimbursed. After a few months, I am on the road to recovery and Mr Casella got me a very nice settlement. Along the way he answered all of my questions. He even checked in on me to see how I was doing. He is a great attorney and a very nice person.

So I am a recurring client of this firm. I first retained Keith Casella for a personal injury matter a few years back. While other attorneys told me I had a no case, Keith Casella was able to resolve my matter lucratively although I did not have "major injuries". I liked his demeanor and the fact that he was responsive to me despite how silly my questions were. Fast forward to now, I have since retained mr. Casella for my divorce which was painful but my lawyer got it done for me. This law firm is my go to firm for questions and/or referrals. They take your calls and answer questions without obligation. They're very nice to work,with

I hired Casella & Casella to help me with a car accident case. The attorneys were very responsive to me and kept me informed of the status of my case. Ive hired other attorneys in the past and i have always felt like I was doing the attorney a favor. Here it was the other way around. I really felt like I was treated with dignity and respect.

I retained Casella and Casella for a divorce matter where i was the defendant. Divorce is never a good thing and I was expecting to be run through the mill, as they say. I mean both from my x-wife and from the attorneys. I am pleased to say that the Casella's really did well by me. They fought for me and got me a fair result.

The firm of Casella and Casella really helped me with my divorce. It all went relatively smoothly (but for my husband). They kept me informed on the status of my case, were responsive to my questions and overall, the attorneys were very professional.

As per the recommendation of the Richmond County Bar Association, I retained Casella & Casella for a landlord/tenant eviction. An appointment was set for Sept. 27, 2012. On that date, I met with Mr. Ralph Casella and retained Casella & Casella as counsel to start the eviction proceedings. At that time, Mr. Ralph Casella advised me that this matter should be taken to Supreme Court and the cost would be a flat fee rate of $3,500—later I was informed by Mr. Keith Casella that landlord/tenant cases are seen in Civil Court for a fee of $1,600. Clearly, they need to consult with each other before speaking to their client to get their facts straight.
On Oct. 9, 2012 (12 days later), I notified Mr. Ralph Casella informing him that the tenant was moving out and no further action was needed, and to please send an itemized bill with a refund check for any and all unused disbursements.
After several attempts to try to contact Mr. Ralph Casella and Mr. Keith Casella through both email and telephone messages regarding the refund check neither one returned my calls or responded to my emails.
Finally, I was able to make some headway by speaking to one of their employees and she told me the refund amount was $1,896. I questioned why I was being charged $1,603--No index # was obtained from the court or filed with the court, and they could not produce papers at that time--She told me there was a no itemized bill or any other paper work. After another week, (Nov. 21, 2012) she called to tell me all the paper work was done to come pick up the check. The charges on the bill reflect 3 phone calls in the sum of $553. and preparation of papers with blank dates for $1,050.
Basically, the fee exceeds a reasonable fee for cost of services provided to such a degree that it is overreaching and an unconscionable demand by both Mr. Ralph Casella and Mr. Keith Casella.
I strongly recommend that you stay away from this law firm. Their lack of honesty and integrity is appalling!!!

I used Keith Casella for my personal injury lawsuit. I was involved in a terrible auto accident. Mr Casella was excellent. He kept me informed about my case and was always accessible. He achieved a great resolution of my matter. I would highly recommend Keith Casella.

I am a military war veteran, 9-11 victim and first responder who is currently on disability due to illnesses from my 9-11 exposure. I explained my situation to Ralph Casella upon our first meeting and he seemed sympathetic to my cause (Later untrue) and seemed like he wanted to help. Ralph Casella understood my financial situation and agreed to a small retainer and a payment plan from then on out, this has since been violated by Keith Casella (His son). They were hired almost 18 months ago to represent me in a civil lawsuit and have violated their oath to the Supreme Court of the New York. They have misrepresented my case and have caused serious damage to my case through their own actions. They have harassed me for money and have told me flat out that they are never going to do anything for my case because of money, even though I signed a contract with them on a payment plan, their actions have bordered on extortion. From what I understand of the Rules of Professional Conduct as stated in Part 1200, they have violated several items and have no reason to discharge me from representation as I have met all obligations to them. I am broke, going into bankruptcy, my house is in foreclosure because of their inaction and I can no longer afford what other attorneys are asking for as a retainer. DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY. They lure you in with a sense, they will help you, they will take your money and then abandon you.
