Several months ago, I was in the unfortunate position of needing to find a divorce attorney. I made…read morefour appointments with various area law firms (based on Yelp and Google reviews) and then I met with Alison at Bates Family Law. I immediately felt a sense of relief despite the incredible emotional stress I was experiencing. Throughout my divorce case, I was impressed with the efficiency I observed with Alison and every person in her office. Whenever I emailed or called with a question; I received a very quick response. Unfortunately, my case was incredibly complicated for a 15-year marriage without children. Despite the complications, Alison was able to manage my case successfully but I believe it required a professional with her depth of knowledge. Also, the final cost of my case was significantly less than I had estimated, and I am very grateful. I am highly satisfied with the outcome. I am confident the result could not have been achieved if I had signed with a different firm. I highly recommend Bates Family Law.

Mr. Peter Pullano, Managing Partner of the Tully-Rinckey office in Rochester, NY represented me in…read morea child pornography case in 2017. A federal complaint was filed against me in January and the time between my arrest and sentencing (in December) was almost one year. Since this was my first offense, this year was the absolute worst of my life and Mr. Pullano quickly recognized my sincere remorse and desire to rehabilitate. He spent considerable time, at my request, educating my family (including my wife) and me regarding the nature of my crime and the range of legal options and potential outcomes. He was always clear and forthright whether the information he had to convey was good or unwelcome news. While Mr. Pullano was my primary legal interface, I also know that other members of his legal team (including Mr. Zachary Ruetz) were working behind the scenes to research legal precedents and outcomes of recent cases which were relevant to mine. I would also like to acknowledge legal secretary, Mr. David Douglas, who was particularly helpful with scheduling meetings (sometimes on short-notice), collecting and organizing documents (including character reference letters from my family and counselors) and keeping me abreast of my legal bills. Because of Mr. Pullano's extensive experience, exceptional legal skills and deep understanding of the federal judicial system and the prosecuting attorneys and judges involved, the outcome of my case was better than I could have hoped for. While I was sentenced to 30 months of incarceration and 10 years of probation after pleading guilty to possession, this outcome was far better than the federal guidelines range of 70-87 months and the maximum potential sentence of 20 years. Mr. Pullano guided me through the process and encouraged me to seek counseling early. He also made it clear how important it was to follow all rules set forth by probation for my supervised release over the year which enabled me to spend extra time with my family between plea and sentencing dates and post-plea after gaining approval by the judge to self-surrender. In summary, everything came together for the best-case scenario because of how Mr. Pullano handled my case and because of the positive actions I took after being arrested based on his suggestions. While I'm not looking forward to incarceration, I feel the number of months is tolerable for my family and me and that justice has been well-served. I did my research before selecting Tully-Rinckey and discovered that I could have paid 2-3 times for a fancy, big-city legal team but, I'm convinced I made the right decision not to and that the outcome would not have been any better. Thank you Mr. Peter Pullano and Tully-Rinckey for the expert, successful and very practical legal services.

Terrible Law Firm Hired Ms. Youngman (a partner at TR) to…read morehandle a breach of Separation Agreement/Divorce. After repeatedly telling me my case was cut & dry (which it was) she managed to turn it into a DISASTER which cost me $185,000! After months of getting no where, a trial was finally scheduled so the Judge could resolve the (1) outstanding issue in my Separation Agreement (disputed/delinquent alimony payments) and grant the uncontested Divorce. Two hours before our long-awaited trial, Ms. Youngman called and said my husband wanted to settle on the alimony. She rattled off his offer, I requested a change & she called back within minutes saying my husband & his attorney agreed on the change. This was a $185,000 CASH settlement so I told her I would meet everyone at the courthouse within the hour to sign the settlement papers, She abruptly said no need since my husband & his attorney would no longer be going to the courthouse now that we agreed on a settlement.. I told her I wanted the settlement in writing and that there was no reason we couldn't all meet for an hour at the courthouse to do so since everyone had already cleared their schedules for the trial that morning.. She insisted it was not necessary for everyone to meet and not to worry as she would contact the Judge's law clerk and have the clerk "put the settlement terms on The Record so my husband couldn't wiggle out later." Weeks went by and I had not received anything back from Ms. Youngman or the court so after several unreturned phone calls I called her supervisor Ms. King and finally received a call back. HY told me to stop stressing out- that everything was fine-and that she was just waiting on my husband's attorney to finalize some language in the settlement. She called it "housekeeping issues". When I asked what the hold up was getting these "housekeeping issues" done, she said my husband's attorney was tied up in a difficult and lengthy trial and would not be able to meet with her until his trial was over.... Another month went by with nothing, so I started calling her office again and this is when she informed me that my husband refused to honor the settlement! I was very upset but said OK lets get the Judge involved so he can enforce the settlement-since it was already on The Record with his clerk. She told me that too much time had gone by since our trial so the Judge won't get involved!!! She then tried to soften her huge $185,000 mistake by saying "these things happen" and "it's too bad but there is nothing we could do." This was totally unacceptable so I reached out to Ms. King-who was not at all helpful nor sympathetic and just seemed annoyed by my call. With no other resources at TR, I went ahead and called the Judge's law clerk who surprisingly informed me that Ms. Youngman never provided or recorded any details of our Settlement to her or the court! Ms. Youngman allowed a $185,000 CASH settlement for her client (and firm) to slip away because she was arrogant and incompetent. She did not listen to her client and instead she refused to make any effort to properly secure her client's $185,000 settlement in writing, even though she had the opportunity to do so before canceling her client's long awaited trial. Instead, she walked away with nothing more than a verbal promise from a sketchy 2-bit attorney! Trust me, you do not want this law firm representing you. They are unprofessional, unethical and do not respect their clients or the rule of law. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE
