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.

Apparently, this bothered Lara as she was curt and told me I am not the first person to go through a divorce, I am well aware of this but a little compassion does go a long way. For myself, time is very limited and to have privacy I have to be careful so I scheduled a consult on a time that worked for me (over a week of planning for this appointment) and 1.5 hours after my appointment time with no call or text, while I'm with my husband I get a text from this law firm, sorry I missed our meeting I overlooked it, is now good? No, it is not hence why I scheduled it for 9 AM NOT 11:22AM. Divorce is hard, families breaking apart is hard. When we feel like the world is against us you could have been a light of hope. When someone is looking for support from this law firm all I can say is they need to do better.

My goal was to accomplish a divorce with grace, dignity and respect for myself an my ex wife. I looked for an Attorney that would help me accomplish my goals. I interviewed several Divorce Attorneys that had stellar references and recommendations. I chose Ms. Bullock. When I first met her I was most impressed with her compassion for my situation. As we talked, I was happy to realize the knowledge she has of her profession and her attention to the details of how the divorce would proceed. That was enough for me to hire her.

Larry Krieger ROCKS!!!!!!!!!…read more I have certainly been in a precarious position by hiring attorneys who were burned out, the polar opposite of professional, and downright ineffective as legal counsel. I begun to have a negative perception of attorneys in general until I hired Larry Krieger. Larry Krieger, is an amazing attorney, he is the only legal counsel that worked his tail off to see that justice was served for the best interest of my daughter. He exhibited a high level of legal knowledge, professionalism, and execution in his legal delivery. I remember watching him in action in the court room cross examine my adversary with strong legal defenses. He was very efficient in making my legal proceedings a TOP priority on his list even if he had a voluminous case load(due to his popularity among clients) which helped to mollify my stress. His legal assistant Marci is also a gem, together, they worked in concert to prepare a STRONG legal case that enhanced my certitude in feeling that justice would be served, and it prevailed. When a client such as myself is going through stress, the most important thing you need is a strong legal team to add that extra confidence and security before you step in the court room and fight for your legal rights. The level of professionalism Larry exuded in the court room still makes me smile till this day. Thank you Larry for being a REAL attorney and truly working in the best interest of your client(s)! Best, Richard Myles
