Newby, Personal Injury Attorney

"Jeff has helped me out on multiple occasions. He brings great experience, an attention to detail, and an eagerness to excel. My only reluctance to recommend Jeff would be my fear that his availability to me would be decreased." -Michael Lynch, Attorney

"Jeffs intelligence and experience was an absolute advantage to my firm. He was able to take my direction, and bring to me additional ideas and a plan to move forward. He also expertly drafted several documents for me that needed very little editing, saving me significant time and effort. I highly recommend him for your legal needs."-Michael Yellin, Attorney

"Jeff's work is excellent. I highly recommend him as a paralegal."-James Sansone, Attorney

"I have personally known Jeff DiCello even while he was a student working toward his paralegal certificate. I told myself that I would hire him if I ever needed his services because I knew him to be very smart and he thought out of the box. As a criminal law defense attorney, you must think outside of the box especially in difficult cases. I have hired Jeff for about 4 or 5 motions on at least three different cases. Each time he performed magnificently even sending me updates on new cases and trends in criminal law. I appreciated his alerts. The joy was intensified when I received his invoices. He always charged a fair price for his excellent and prompt services. I often questioned, why do I even need an in-house paralegal when I have Jeff! What a cost savings without giving up quality. I have recommended Jeff DiCello to other attorneys and they have in turn recommended Jeff to others. I plan to hire Jeff DiCello in the future and highly recommend him to anyone else who has not yet benefitted from his paralegal services."-Michael A. Fiumara, Attorney
