Nicholas Davis
From a very young age, I knew two things – (1) I wanted to be a lawyer, and (2) I wanted to help people. Growing up in a small rural community in Western New York instilled in me certain values that guide me not only in my personal life but also in my professional life as an attorney. I approach every interaction with my clients based upon my belief that I owe them a duty to represent their interests and service their needs to the fullest extent possible. My clients all get my personal attention and deal with me directly from our very first interaction through the resolution of their matters and beyond.
Although I enjoy working collaboratively and as a team with my clients, I have not, and will never lose sight of the fact that I work for them, and they do not work for me. I enjoy working closely with my clients and handling even the smallest details of their matters and genuinely believe this is the best way to understand their situation and prepare their case for the best possible outcome. Preparation and experience are both key in successfully carrying out this obligation and equally important in obtaining the best possible results for our clients.
Before I began working at Cellino Law, formerly Cellino & Barnes in 2008, I spent many years working for law firms on behalf of insurance companies and defending the interests of their insureds. In this capacity, I handled all aspects of personal injury claims from initial investigation through litigation, trial, and appeal. Although I gained an incredible amount of experience and insight into insurance companies, I quickly learned that insurance companies’ sole objective is to resolve claims for the least amount of money possible, regardless of the horrors and damages caused by their insureds.
This realization caused me to question whether I was actually helping anyone and ultimately led me to a nearly decade long career with one of the nation’s largest personal injury firms. My experience working for insurance companies and one of the nation’s largest personal injury firms provides with me a unique perspective that enables me to aggressively and effectively pursue personal injury claims on behalf of my clients. I believe it is this experience, together with my work ethic and sense of duty and obligation to my clients that has enabled me to recover many million-dollar and multi-million dollar settlements on behalf of my clients.
I appreciate that not all personal injury cases are the same and that each and everyone affects individuals differently. In many instances, my client’s lives have been turned upside down as a result of someone else’s wrongdoing, and they are not only looking for representation, but for someone who will help make sense during trying times. No matter what type of situation my clients are facing, each and everyone one receives the same responsiveness, dedication, and aggressive and zealous representation that are the cornerstones of Cellino Law’s philosophy.

I want to thank Nicholas Davis and Laurie Pecora for all their help and support during these past 4 1/2 years after my MVA. Whenever I had a question or concern you guys were just a phone call away. I appreciate all the support you have shown me during this time. Thank you so much!

Rachael Ferris
My lawyer was Mark Davis (Rochester/Buffalo area) and he was beyond amazing to work with! My case was a tough one and hard to prove with a concussion and no broken bones and I had been turned down by other law firms. Not only did he stick with me for 4-5 years, but also was so empathetic and worked so hard to get me a fair settlement. In the end, he managed to get me a way larger settlement then I even imagined was possible! Thank you Mark!

Nicholas Davis has been straight forward, to the point. Yet, he is humble and kind. He said from the beginning that my case was going to be worth full value. Sure enough, that’s what was awarded. He’s still working on lost wages as well. I’m grateful for Laurie Pecora, Nick’s Paralegal Assistant. She has been with me every step of the way too!
I would DEFINITELY recommend Nick’s Davis for any Motor Vehicle Accident case.

I’ve never had experience consulting with a Lawyer, Mark Davis gave me a completely different transaction. The support, professionalism, and communication were exceptional. I hope I won’t experience a car accident again, but if I do, Cellino Firm of Rochester, New York is where I’m heading !

Charmaine Brown
I was referred by my Uncle to Cellino Law firm, he told me his experience was great. However, I want to talk about my experience.. My son was into a serious car accident that have changed his life forever.. I made a phone call and was assigned Mr.Nick Davis and it was such comfort from day one.. Nick is a great listener he heard my cry and comforted my son and I. He visited my son in the hospital took on the case not like a lawyer but someone with compassion.. make sure we understood all what my son deserved and have fought for my child since day one .. he got all medical bills paid disability assigned and still involved with my son’s wellbeing Nick is always a phone call way if you have concerns. It’s been two years and Nick is still in my son’s life assuring us not to give up. I give him a 5 star and a 10 score. Would recommend him to all who needs a compassionate no nonsense fight for all you deserve lawyer.. Mr Nick Davis..

Victoria Price
Awesome!
I had a wonderful experience with Nick handling my case.
From the very beginning, my husband & I both felt that he was truly concerned & cared about our welfare. He showed that he was invested in our case & he fought hard to get us a JUST resolution.
He gave us very good counsel. He was straightforward about our possibilities without making false promises. That was refreshing. He made himself available to us & always returned our calls in a timely manner.
We are beyond satisfied.
We would highly recommend Nicholas Davis to everyone seeking a detail oriented, knowledgeable, caring, & experienced attorney to represent them in their personal injury case.
I also would like to add that his paralegal Laurie Pecora was awesome as well. The 2 of them are thought of as a part of our family.

Robert Trybulski
I could not have had a better experience than the one I had with Celino Law. The attorney I consulted with was Nick Davis. He was available to me whenever I reached out to him. He answered my many, many questions with clear and concise answers, successful guiding me through a complex situation. He was very professional, while also being very easy to relate to. If I were ever to require such services again, my first call would be to Nick Davis at Celino Law.
Andrea Greene
Everything about the firm and my Attorney Nick was amazing and on point on time and he knew everything we talked about. After he won my case he didn’t just disappear he has been around making sure i was ok he wasn’t just my lawyer he became my friend /family to my family. Great Firm to work with. Nick Davis the best Lawyer i know
sherry reilly
Nick Davis, my lawyer from Cellino Law, listens! Shortly after I was severely rear ended in a car accident I realized I’d need a lawyer and sent emails to a few top companies. Nick Davis was the first to respond (others took days or didn’t respond) and he listened. He worked hard for me and returned my calls promptly. Early on I was sent to a quack independent insurance appointed doctor an hour away who said I’d be better with a few more PT sessions. Nick appointed someone to go with me to the future IMEs (at least eight more) and record verbatim what the independent doctor said and did. I eventually needed thoracic back surgery as well as many other therapies. Some injuries improved while some tendon chronic. I’m glad Nick Davis listened and responded to what the situation called for and fought for the compensation needed. He was compassionate as I navigated new waters of needing a lawyer. He guided us through the process and advised us well for when to settle. I highly recommend Nicholas Davis, top notch in my book.
