One of our clients had this to say about their experience with us:
"Outstanding service. Over the course of six months that lasted the entire ordeal, I always felt that I had a team-player on my side. My case was aviation regulations related which is very unique and intricate. DeFabio picked up on all the terminology, regulations, and details of the industry quickly; so was able to navigate through successfully to my advantage. A real gentleman, witty and always reachable, kept me well informed at all times, and negotiated a favorable deal. He is very professional and trustworthy. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I couldn't have gotten a better attorney."
