The receptionists has some Very poor professionalism manners when dealing with handicap senior citizens he gave nothing but the run around. It just was a very bad experience from start to finish and to top it off he finished it off by beginning to talk down to a potential client.

Rick and Stephen - I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, your patience and your professionalism. I would recommend your firm in a heartbeat. You were always so good about keeping me updated. I still cannot get over the outcome. You certainly went above and beyond, especially after another firm had turned me away. Thank You!

Marco and Jane were my main points of contact. I cannot express my gratitude enough for all they did for me. They were so helpful and always kept me updated with my case. They were so professional and understanding during the months we worked together. Again, I was so happy with how everything turned out and will recommend this firm to everyone in the future.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr. Steve Niznik and his team under Mr. Friedman at Friedman, Domiano and Smith. When you're in an MVA accident it seems like a million attorneys are reaching out and you never know who is the best choice. Rest assured Friedman, Domiano and Smith, working directly with Mr. Niznik and his team, will be your BEST choice! They never pushed their services and waited for ME to contact them. From the first phone call to Mr. Niznik, I was provided excellent service and support. He answered questions easily, full of knowledge and with understandable responses. They were EXACTLY who I

I want to thank Marco Bocciarelli, Tanya Ulisses, and Jayne Sholtz for a superior job.
At no time during this case did I feel like I was being kept out of the loop or losing control. (Very important to me)
Anytime I reached out to them, their responses were quick with questions or concerns resolved.
Thanks again!

After my slip /fall accident on 2/18/19, I retained FD&S.
The absolute BEST decision I could have made!
They took care of business. My attorney, Marco Bocciarelli and the staff did a thorough, professional job. Very responsive to all inquiries along the way. Although it took 13 months to settle, it was well worth the wait. I highly recommend this firm, if you find yourself in need.
With tremendous THANKS and kudos to FD&S.

"Without the help of the entire Friedman, Domiano & Smith Law firm, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. Marco Bocciarelli took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected. He worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. He has stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though we faced challenges, Mr. Bocciarelli did not falter. His thorough research provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I will only recommend Friedman, Domiano & Smith as my
