We had a bad accident and they did everything in there power to help us awesome people

Tim Cleere of Cellino was recommended to me to handle my case. I had been struck and nearly run over at a race track in Riverhead, in November, 2023 by a race car participant who was attempting to move his vehicle and severely damaged my right knee. I suffered extensive ACL and MCL damage. Liability was never the issue. While the defendant who hit me initially claimed he had no insurance, Tom and his team, after a thorough investigation found that he actually had insurance. As an attorney myself, I know when a lawyer knows what he is doing. Tom clearly is on top of his game. He has command of the civil liability world, works hard to arrive at a fair result for his clients and keeps you informed as to what is going on with your case. I whole heatedly recommend you retain him if you are injured. You won’t be sorry.

Best service ever! Thank you for your support and assistance throughout this process. Have recommended all my family and friends. Top Gun service!!

Excellent tour of the Knox mansion, our guide was very knowledgeable

Process was amazing I do wish communication was a bit better over all an amazing choice Thanks Cellino !

I want to personally thank Nick and Laurie at Cellino Law. I was unfortunately injured a accident. They are professional, answered all my questions, and persistant. They are experienced and hard working, and were able to get a settlement for my injuries. I would recommend them to anyone.

They guide you through the process and have a caring staff highly recommend.

Excellent very helpful 😸

Katie Monbaron was great to work with. She is professional and took care of everything in a good timely manner. So happy with everything

Beautiful building, thanks

What a gem! We went on the free tour of the Knox Mansion this past weekend. It was lovely! Our guide was knowledgeable, and it was great to get a glimpse into the past! I highly recommend this tour!

Mike was great! The tour of Knox Mansion was very informative and interesting!! Thank you for offering this tour!!

I can’t thank Micheal J. Lovecchio and their team enough for their incredible support during my personal injury case. From our first meeting, they were attentive and made me feel valued. Micheal J. lovecchio demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the law and fought tirelessly for my rights.

Their communication was excellent; I was always updated on my case’s progress and had my questions answered promptly. Thanks to their negotiation skills, I received a settlement that exceeded my expectations.

If you need a compassionate and skilled attorney, I highly recommend Cellino Law. They truly care about their clients.

I was very uneducated in how to handle a car accident or what doctors to see regarding my situation. I went and set with a lawyer from the firm (Micheal Lovecchio) and his assistant (Leann). They were outstanding, informative, professional and prompt with answering questions and returning calls. I’d recommend them for any of your accidental or other needs in needing representation.

I had a seam-less and stress free time working with Mr. Pajak, and his paralegal Ms. Falconer. They assisted me through one of the toughest times of my life making the process as easy as I could’ve imagined.

Highly reccomend contact the firm as they were able to advise on how to reach the fairest outcome.

Working with Josh Sandburg and Susan was a pleasure. They were consistently available to address any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. Josh truly advocated for me to secure the best possible settlement. Their professionalism, expertise, and responsiveness made a difficult situation feel seamless. I’m grateful for their support and highly recommend their services.

Very professional, polite, and very fast at getting things settled. Thank you Joe for all you’ve done for me and my family!!!

Greg Pajak and Tracey Falconer were very helpful explaining every detail through the process. Tracey was always available to answer my questions and very knowledgable about each step of the claim. The end result being a favorable outcome for me and I really appreciate all their help and guidance.

Nick Davis and Laurie Pecora, was very helpful, cool to work with and got the job done. I just want to say thank you

Very friendly and considerate to their clients. Bridget Celino was very hard-working and determined with my case. Very well handled. Definitely keeping their and Bridget’s information in my phone! Thank you so much!

Stephen Ciocca & his assistants have been one of the most integral pillars of my healing journey after suffering from a gross incident. This office has shown to be empathetic, welcoming and most importantly diligent in fighting for justice and fair compensation.
We must remember to trust the process even during times of duress and turmoil bc when you hire Cellino they will go above and beyond to make sure you feel heard.
Special shout out to Stephen Ciocca and Diane Hirsch. Thank you for all the hard work and communication.

Josh Sandburg and Susan are caring and attentive Professionals. With their high experience and knowledge of the law, I will recommend them to anyone!

Erin Skuce & Maria McTigue have done a wonderful job. They are very knowledgeable and have given me great advice. I would highly recommend retaining Celino Law if you are injured in a car accident. Deanna V

From start to finish Cellino Law has been nothing but, professional. I will call on them if I ever need any assistance in the future.

Wonderful tour and tour guide!

I had Mike Lovecchio at Cellino law…he was the best! I was involved in a car accident and injured my spine…I did not need any type of surgery..however it certainly affected my life. I still received a settlement that I am very satisfied with and would recommend Mike to anyone who is in need of an injury attorney!

Great tour of a beautifully preserved mansion. Tour guide was well-informed and entertaining. Will spread the word to visitors and locals alike.

Excellent and informative tour of the Knox mansion provided by Dr Cellino. This is a must do if you are in or near Buffalo. What a pleasant time spent on a Saturday morning!

I was in a small accident. The other car insurance company called and offered me money which I had thought was to get me through the days I would be out of work. I had taken some oxycodone for the pain so I didn’t understand what they were offering me and I signed paperwork. not realizing it was a settlement. I called Cellini and met with Dennis said he would take my case. Marissa and Dennis kept in touch with me with updates. My experience working with them have been wonderful.

Highly recommend. Mark and Isaiah were really easy to work with and kept me well informed about the process and requirements.

I had the pleasure of working with Brigitte Cellino for a year, and she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She helped me settle my case without any problems and truly fought for me every step of the way. If you’re looking for someone who’s dedicated and effective, do not hesitate.

Absolutely amazing! I would 100% recommend reaching out to celino if in an accident or any similar situation. Josh and Sue and the rest of the team were awesome. They handled mine in my wife’s needs and were super attentive to us. They were always available when we needed to reach out and they will always there to answer questions when we had them. I absolutely recommend touching base with Selena if you have any questions and getting yourself a great lawyer like Josh.

To hear the history of the Knox Mansion and to see some of the photos from years ago was really wonderful. Mr Celino wove the history of the Knox Mansion through the other big name entrepreneurs of the time. The tour was very interesting and highly recommended!

We worked with Nick Davis back in 2011 and again when my son suffered an injury in 2023. Nick and his paralegal were so communicative and helpful. Nick did a great job negotiating both cases and we couldn’t be more thank for for his help. Thank you so much, Nick and Laurie!!!

Chris Damato was a beast and got me a great settlement even after being told I had no case by other “big name” lawyers. Chris was professional and the case was settled fairly quickly. Definitly 10 out of 10 reccomend. Very good guy!

Just wanted to leave a review for Mark Kochanowicz. It’s usually not a good experience dealing with legal issues involving insurance companies. These things can drag out a while, but Mark keeps you informed of the process and works as hard as he can to get the best results for his clients. Mark did an excellent job for us and also for the people I have referred to him in the past. Thank you Mark!

Can’t recommend the Knox Mansion tour enough!! As a local, it’s great when some of these historic mansions open their doors to the public. Dr. Michael Cellino delivers a fantastic, leisurely tour, with the right mix of history and humor. After seeing a lot of these mansions across the northeast, this mansion is filled with several one-of-a-kind touches – it’s pretty remarkable these furnishings are all in Buffalo. Definitely recommend!

My grandmother had Mike Lovecchio in the past and recommended I hire him for my car accident. Celling Law was excellent and helped me through this difficult process. I highly recommend Mike and Celling Law if in need of an accident attorney.

Was a pleasure to work with Bridget Riley, made the process very simple. This firm managed to get me the maximum amount for my settlement.

I was involved in a car accident last year and it changed my life. My attorney Mike Lovecchio took on my case and fought for me every step of the way. My case just resolved for a significant amount and I am extremely satisfied. If you are ever injured in a car accident don’t hesitate to call Mr. Lovecchio at Cellino Law.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark Kochanowicz, an exceptional injury attorney, and his dedicated paralegal Isaiah Callahan. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and truly cared about my case.

Mark is incredibly knowledgeable in personal injury law and took the time to explain every step of the process in a way I could understand. He fought hard to ensure I received the compensation I deserved and never made me feel like just another case. His expertise and confidence in the courtroom made a huge difference.

Isaiah Callahan was also a major part of my positive experience. He stayed in regular contact, kept everything organized, and answered my questions quickly. Isaiah made a stressful process feel more manageable with his clear communication and attention to detail.

If you’re looking for a legal team that combines experience, compassion, and results—Mark Kochanowicz and Isaiah Callahan are the ones to call. I’m truly grateful for everything they did for me.

We really enjoyed the tour and the tour guides sense of humor was awesome! I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in the history of Buffalo or history in general.

This tour and the mansion were and are truly amazing! Dr. Celino was very outgoing and informative! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone! Thank you for opening up your doors to us yesterday! Sean & Kevin

What a wonderful FREE tour of The Knox Mansion given by Dr. Michael Cellino, thanks to Cellino Law. So informative and a beautifully preserved building. It felt like we stepped back in time! We have lived in WNY for most our lives and were excited to learn so many interesting facts about the Knox family history. Mike was a friendly and gracious guide sharing fun facts about the Knox family and the details of this gorgeous mansion. Thank you Cellino Law for preserving this beautiful building and working so hard to make sure the community gets a piece of history for years to come! This is a MUST DO experience! Highly recommend!

I was involved in a car accident and reached out to Cellino Law and was assigned to the Amazing Team of Mike Lovecchio And LeeAnne! My case is now settled, and I highly recommend this attorney to anyone who needs help after an accident. Thank you!

I was very happy with the service provided by my attorney and her staff. They kept me well-informed and were responsive to my questions and concerns. I’ll be referring business their way for anyone facing these issues in the future.

Wonderful job and excellent job and very professional Attorney Erin is awesome one of the best I recommend all the time . She is an angel sent thru heaven ! Thanks

Absolutely pleased with the professionalism of Celino Law Accident Attorneys. I appreciate the speedy service and I am grateful to have done business with Cellino Law Accident Attorneys. Thank you guys!

I recomendable Cellino as #1 Law firm.

Tim and Diana are the best with clients outstanding services there you to listen to us and take care of us the best

Tracey Falconer and Attorney Greg Pajak Were awesome on helping me out THANKS

It was an absolute pleasure working with Bridget Riley from start to finish. Her professionalism, compassion, and clear communication were evident throughout the entire process. From the outset, she was transparent and honest, ensuring I was well-informed at every stage. Bridget leads with empathy while maintaining a strong focus on the legal details, which provided both clarity and confidence during what could have been a stressful time. I truly appreciate her dedication and integrity.

que me hacen el día

In January 2024, my life was flipped on its head when I broke my tibia and fibula and dislocated my ankle. I didn’t know where to turn, and honestly felt pretty helpless due to my injury. I googled personal injury attorneys and Cellino law was the first to pop up with a prestige unlike the rest. I called Cellino and was on the phone with Nick Davis immediately within the hour of calling. Nick then showed up at my house and sat at my bedside and listened with empathy and truly wanted to hear what happened. He wanted to get to know me as a person not just a client. From the first meeting I knew I was in good hands because of how he listened and how direct he was there’s something about people who tell you what you need to hear instead of what you want to hear. Nick was that from the jump and I can’t thank him enough for being honest throughout the entire process. The transparency and advocacy for me along the last 15 months is something I’ll forever be grateful for. Nick Davis and Lauri Pecora i’ll be forever indebted to because of the settlement they were able to reach with their hard work and determination. They didn’t just help me they helped my entire family. If you’re looking for a law firm, that’s going to go to war for you when you don’t have two legs to stand on you need to lean on Cellino law, Nick Davis and Lauri Pecora. Could not recommend them more as people not just your representation .

After being involved in a car accident, I wasn’t sure where to turn to but contacting Cellino Law in Melville turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From day one, Timothy Cellino and Paralegal Diana Perez were professional, compassionate, and incredibly dedicated to my case. Timothy walked me through the legal process with patience and clarity, always making sure I felt informed and confident in every step. Diana was outstanding—she stayed on top of everything, answered all my questions promptly, and made the whole experience much less stressful. Their teamwork and communication made me feel like a priority, not just another case. I’m beyond grateful and highly recommend Cellino Law to anyone in need of strong, reliable legal support after a car accident.

Joseph Degeneres did an OUTSTANDING job as my attorney for my dog bite case. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to be compensated for the injuries ive received. and being my first time dealing with an Attorney he made things just so much easier. I highly advice reaching out to cellino they’ll take GREAT care of you.

I got hit by a drunk driver in June 2024, my attorney Joseph was very attentive to my case, always checking up on me. Kept me updated until my case was settled. It only took 1 year for my case to be settled! I am very happy with how they treated me and my case, and how quick and efficient they are. I would definitely recommend Cellino to anyone!

Thank you so much Mr Casey Fundaro and Karen Annese they were the best at Cellino Law whenever you have questions they answer them they always do their best to help you they always answer not only do they make you feel comfortable they always give you the truth I recommend them to anyone that needs help with their situation they get the job done

I am very pleased with my experience with Cellino Law. Friendly and professional atmosphere.
Josh Sandburg is a caring and professional lawyer. I am so grateful for all that he has done. I thank him for his excellent service and support during this challenging time. I appreciate the exceptional legal service he provided.

Loved the mansion . Mr Cellino was a great host and docent. Hidden treasure in the city of Buffalo. Recommend everyone go visit the Knox mansion. Thank you

I was hit by a car over a year ago and injured my low back, resulting in a back surgery. I hired Cellino Law and had Mike Lovecchio as my lawyer. I was very pleased with their representation and they kept me informed during the entire process. I highly recommend Mr. Lovecchio if you are in need of a personal injury attorney.

Dr Michael Cellino gave an amazing tour of the home. I’m glad the family offer to let us see the amazing craftsmanship of a bygone era. Thank you for your time and the ability to see this gem in the wonderful city of Buffalo. I love older homes and have toured extensively in Europe and this home is exquisite in the craftsmanship. It might not rival the palaces of Europe in size but in quality of craftsmanship it excels. Thanks once again for this opportunity.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the support of the Cellino Law Firm after my car accident. What could have been an overwhelming and confusing process was made manageable—and even reassuring—thanks to the amazing care I received from Attorney Tim Cellino and Paralegal Diana Perez. From the moment I first spoke with Tim, I knew I was in the right hands. He’s not just a brilliant attorney with a deep understanding of personal injury law—he’s also down-to-earth, compassionate, and incredibly easy to talk to. He made sure I understood what was happening at every turn and always made time for my questions, no matter how small. His steady guidance gave me peace of mind during one of the most stressful times in my life.
And Diana? An absolute gem. She was attentive, kind, and detail-oriented in a way that made the entire experience run so much smoother. Her empathy and professionalism stood out from the very beginning and never wavered.
Together, Tim and Diana made me feel like more than just a case file—they treated me like a person who mattered. Their kindness, dedication, and integrity meant the world to me. If you’re in need of legal help after an accident, I cannot recommend Cellino Law Firm highly enough.

Erin was great

Erin and Maria were very professional and were really pleasant to talk with.

Chris DAmato is a great attorney. He saved my life

THE most professional firm I have dealt with – from attorney to staff. Tom Cleere and Ashley Scanlon are top notch and I highly recommend them.

Denis and Marisa are a great team one of them were always there for me if I had any questions or concerns and always made sure I understood everything that was going on. They made me feel comfortable through the whole process I highly recommend them.

VERY SATISFIED! JOSH AND SUE ARE AMAZING. ALL I CAN SAY IS GET WITH THE WINNING TEAM ❤️

I was involved in a three car accident that caused me to loose a lot and I went through a shoulder surgery . I called celino law and was assigned Mike Lovecchio and his assistant LeeAnne and they made the entire process very easy to understand and stress free. I would recommend this team to anybody who has been injured as a result to someone else negligence. I would definitely come back if I ever had to but wishing I don’t need to. I would give more stars if I was able.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Mark Davis and his paralegal Gina, they are professional, responsive and supportive throughout the entire confusing process of dealing with insurance companies.Thank you!

I contacted Cellino Law after a car accident and shared photos of my injury. Their quick and confident response—“You’ve got a case”—gave me immediate peace of mind. As someone who had never pursued legal action before, I appreciated how simple they made the process. They kept me informed every step of the way and guided me with professionalism and care. I’m very happy with the outcome and grateful for their support. Many thanks to the team at Cellino Law.

Extremely helpful and understanding, all I had contact with.

I’m a chef here in New York, zero time for BS, less time for reviews, but this Bridgeport, CT office is different! The professionalism, honesty, and care are amazing. If you want your steak cooked right (and don’t care about kale), this is YOUR attorney. Ask for the Mark & Isaiah special. Tell them Chef sent ya! 😉 #Lawyers #Connecticut #Bridgeport #Steak #ChefLife #Attorney #Recommendation

Both Gregory Pajak and Tracey Falconer were nothing but professional and helpful and I would never go anywhere else. I was extremely happy with the results.

My case was handled quickly and I was kept updated throughout. Big thanks to Gregory Pajak and Tracy Falconer for their help!

“Keep Buffalo a Secret…and the Knox Mansion Tour!”. Dr. Michael Cellino (brother of Ross, lawyer/mansion owner) gave our amazing complimentary 1.5 hour tour on a Sat morning as he brought you back in time with his wealth of knowledge and true passion for Buffalo history preservation. The mansion currently is mixed use space that is shared with the law firm but that didn’t distract from the beauty and craftsmanship of the architecture. Honestly, the Cellino family using it today brings warmth and life into the home. They only take so many guests (15) on Sat & Sunday 10 am morning tours only, so you must preregister via the law firms website and they only book out 2 months in advance. There is a online wait list form, but I didn’t use that. Tips: Arrive a few minutes before the tour to look around and take in the details of the 1st floor as other tour guests arrive. It is mostly standing/walking and you do walk up/down stairs. Restrooms are available, which are best to use before the tour starts so you don’t miss out on anything during the tour. They don’t recommend for child under 12, which I agree with as a youngster on our tour was behaved but did get tired. *Suggestion – I do hope a professional film crew films Dr. Cellino giving this mansion tour. He really is a Buffalo gem and was just fantastic! Thank you to the Cellino family.

Throughly enjoyed our tour by Dr Mike Cellino of the Delaware mansion. So easy to schedule an appointment for Saturday or Sunday morning via the Cellino Law website. Reminder sent with directions. Began on time and was captivated for 90 minutes with history of Knox family, their philanthropy, and wife’s strong mansion building oversight. Super impressive architectural details. Kudos to Cellino Law for repurposing upstairs and annex for offices while retaining mansion integrity. Thank you for sharing your combined offices and historical/art museum!

I used Thomas Cleere for a car accident case I had. Thomas Cleere and his paralegal Ashley Scanlon did a great job and were very helpful and supportive every step of the way.

Loved visiting this mansion with my wife , very informative and Michael was such a nice person and very knowledgeable about the history behind it . I would highly recommend visiting this place !

Just finished up a long an difficult MVA and with with the help of my Attorney Briget Riley, it came to a very well ending and thank you all at Cellow law

Both My husband and I suffered injuries from a vehicle accident and I reached out to Cellino Law, they were quick to take our claims. They were super helpful and quickly settled. We are grateful for the outcome.
Will definitely refer Cellino to anyone that would need an injury attorney. Thanks Cellino!!

Working with Casey Fundaro at Cellino Law was truly a blessing during a difficult time. From start to finish, Casey was steady, professional, and incredibly thorough. He walked me through every step of the legal process with patience and clarity, making sure I understood my options and felt empowered throughout.

What stood out most was how committed he was to protecting my rights. I never once felt rushed or overlooked — Casey made sure every detail was handled with care. Thanks to his guidance and advocacy, I was able to walk away from the situation with a fair and solid outcome. I’m genuinely grateful for his expertise and highly recommend Cellino Law to anyone in need of legal support.

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!

Thank you for all of your help. You managed to obtain a fair and equitable settlement!

Joshua has been very helpful throughout my entire case. I don’t think I would have been able to navigate my accident crisis without him and his team at Celino. Thank you very much Celino!

The attorney, Casey Fundaro, did a magnificent job with my case! He was very professional and explained everything very well for me to understand throughout the entire process. My accident was in regard to a car accident which I was not the one responsible for. Casey was very helpful in every way and was responsive to all my calls and emails and would reach out if there were any changes to the status of my case. Karen Annese,the paralegal, worked alongside with Casey and was also reaching out and answered all of my questions and provided all the information I needed. I highly recommend Cellino Law!

Christopher d’amato did a great job on my case. It went perfectly I thank you so much

I had attorney Thomas Cleere, from Cellino Law represent me in my auto accident case. Mr. Cleere handled everything in a timely and professional manner. I recommend using his services for your auto accident claim. Lucia A, Smithtown, N.Y.

Josh was great – made the process easy and kept me well informed. The settlement was much more than expected. I highly recommend Josh.

Working with Attorney Erin Skuce and her assistant Maria McTigue has been nothing short of a blessing. These two professionals have accepted my shortcomings and my defects of character (which include a mess, to say the least, when it comes to my own personal organizational skills) …during the entire process these two professionals have gone far above and beyond what I would expect out of any law firm. They helped me manage records. They showed me respect even during times of the cries from this king baby. Both Erin and Maria have executed their words and have done so with the utmost expressions of care and concern. I would, without a shadow of a doubt, recommend CELLINO LAW and especially these two amazing team players: ATTORNEY ERIN SKUCE & LEGAL AIDE MARIA McTIGUE To ANYONE seeking Legal Advise, Legal Aidé and or Legal Counsel! Don’t sell yourself short! HIRE YOURSELF THE BEST OF THE BEST! Hire Erin and her Assistant Maria for case!

Attorney Thomas C displayed excellent professionalism in solving the accident case.

God bless on the bottom of my heart Selena lol keep up the good work. I love the way you stay consistent through your job and how you take care of business. God bless everybody as Selena lol thank you so much.💯💪🏻🙏

It was a pleasure meeting Josh and Susan, they’re excellent at what they do and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again

I have had the most amazing experience at Cellino Law Firm, the respect and intelligence of all the staff, Gina Cellino is so amazing and personable, Thank you all for a job well done!

A little over 5yrs ago I was in a work accident. I fell off a scaffold and fractured my neck in multiple places. I was unsure about what to do. It caused me tremendous pain and knowing it might be a possibility I may not he able to work in my profession any longer, I reached out to Cellino Law Firm to see if I had any options. I was connected to Mike Lovecchio, who is an injury Attorney with the firm and right away he put me at ease. I immediately knew he was going to be the right person for the job. Throughout the 5yrs of the process never once did I feel out f my comfort zone, nor did Mike Lovecchio leaving me hanging in the dark when it came to how the process was going and he would check in with me often to make sure I was doing ok and if there was anything I needed. I’ve never been through anything like this before, but I can assure you that Mike Lovecchio handled everything with the highest professionalism I could possibly ask for, from my discomforts to everything pertaining to the case. I hope I would never have to go through an experience like this again, but if I did I 100% know Mike Lovecchio at Cellino Law would be hearing from me asap.
Truly thank you so much Mike Lovecchio for putting your all into this and making sure my family and I wouldn’t have to worry anymore! I felt like you took it personal and I was truly blessed to have been connected to you!
May God Bless you and your family and everyone over at Cellino Law!

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident a few years back and I contacted Cellino Law where I was assigned attorney Mike Lovecchio. I was very grateful to be assigned Mr. Lovecchio as he kept me well informed throughout the process and obtained a very satisfactory settlement on my behalf. If I ever had to go through this situation again I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Cellino Law and Mike Lovecchio as he went above and beyond my expectations.

I can’t thank Cellino Law enough for everything they have done for me. When Denis Bastible took my case for a rear end car accident over 3 years ago I had no idea what this would turn into. I had to have 3 years of treatment on my back and eventually leading to a back surgery, which at 25 years old is a nightmare. Denis and his paralegal Marisa were nothing but a huge help to me the entire way through the lawsuit process. They were very reassuring that this would end well for me and extremely easy to contact throughout the entire process. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.
