Testimonials

From an attorney licensed in New Jersey and New York whose family member was charged with assault with a deadly weapon:
As you are well aware, our client is really damaged, yet you assuaged her severe anxiety today, to the point on our way back to NY she told me, “you know Frank held my hand, walked me up in front of the judge and gave me the strength to do, what I thought I could never do.”
That my friend is your brilliance, while you are obviously a brilliant lawyer, you are a better human being, and that is what makes you a great lawyer.
You gave a broken woman the ability to save her future, it is the same talent you showed… thirty five years ago…
Long story short as, you can see by the link below, I recently brought a case to… one of America’s great litigators, and am of counsel, with him and his partner. When I met… I was impressed, but without trying to blow smoke up your ass, which neither of us can do as we have known each other too long, and know too much, he nor his firm impress me more than you!!
You, simply stated, are not only a brilliant lawyer, but have what it takes to be a great human being, you carry your self like a heavyweight in a world of lightweights, I think I am pretty good, you my friend are simply stated better!!!
Thanks for making me a hero by taking care of my . . . she needed a superstar and you were it, I thought for about a minute doing it myself and then I realized that would have been a bad choice, I needed you, thanks for taking the case!!!

From a client charged with a weapons offense:
It was a nightmare. How could I be facing a weapons charge with a possible 10 year imprisonment term, for something I didn’t commit. The legal system is a long and confusing process. I barely understood what the letters from the court were even saying. This case lasted a grueling 31 months and the prosecution fought us every step of the way. Hiring Mr. Luciano was the best decision I ever made. He is a expert. He understood the process and was always thinking 5 steps ahead. His life’s experiences and professionalism really showed. As my case grew more and more complex, his knowledge of the law and his staff’s availability was second  to none. His secretary, Renee was always available to speak with and was prompt in her responses. When it came down to actually being in court with Mr. Luciano, his presences and respect from his peers was truly felt.
Going thru this was overwhelming at times but Mr. Luciano was always making me feel at ease with his words of confidence. To God be the glory, this case is finally over and we received the most favorable outcome because of Mr. Luciano’s relentlessness with his briefs and appeals.
Besides the obvious fear of imprisonment, the worst part of any case is the financial burden it placed on me and my family. Mr. Luciano was fair and honest with the charging of his fees. He was very compassionate of my situation and I really felt like he cared about me and what I was going through.
I have so much love and respect for Mr. Luciano and I highly recommend Mr. Luciano’s services to anyone that is going through something in their life which requires legal help. Mr. Luciano, thank you for getting me back my life!!!

From a client in a professional malpractice case:
When trial became inevitable, we were so proud, confident . . . and relieved to sit at your side. You are truly the attorneys attorney. Our confidence soared as we began to see how well prepared and thorough you were. All else paled as your intricate knowledge of the law and trial experience became obvious, not only to us but to the judge, jury and our adversaries.
What was most impressive was your respect for the law, the court, the adversary and most of all, us.
You never mislead or make false promises. You are impeccable in every sense of the word. Your honestly and integrity is unquestioned, and, you passion for the law inspiring. Accolades aside, you are a good man who speaks as a friend and advisor and, not as an attorney who speaks only in legalese.
Thank you, Frank. Thank you for getting us through the most terrible of times . . . not just getting us through, but, getting through to the jury, and ultimately, a resounding verdict which made us see the system really can work. On a day in August, Lady Justice turned our way and smiled.

From an Appellate panel of New Jersey’s Superior Court in a third-offender DWI Prosecution:
. . . defense counsel has been innovative throughout and diligent in his defense in this case.

Adversary’s statement on the record involving a legal controversy involving two billion-dollar litigants:
Judge, the last case that I had for an entity that is related to the defendant in this case, my adversary was a legal rock star; clerked for Antonin Scalia, wrote briefs that set precedent, overturned precedent of a hundred years. Frank Luciano makes that guy look like a joker.

From a trial judge of New Jersey’s Superior Court in a serious drug prosecution:
You should be grateful to your attorney, Mr. Frank T. Luciano, for all his efforts on your behalf, to have given you an opportunity to turn your life around.

From a Public Defender of the State of New Jersey involved in a drug case as co-counsel:
If law practice is a chess game of skill and wits, it’s good to go a round with a ‘grand master’.

From a client:
Of all the attorneys that I have worked with in the last 30 years, Frank stands head and shoulders above them all. His tenacity and thoroughness are remarkable. I would recommend him and hire him again should I need a great litigator. He is one of the very best.
[The client] and I would like to thank you for going the extra mile for him. Because of your concern, attention to detail, and utmost professionalism, [the client] can now truly move on with his life.)
This note is just to say thank you for all of the help that you’ve given me to make this ugly part of my life over. Your advice and all of the courage and understanding that you’ve shown me, walked me through this. Without you, I certainly would not have known where to begin. I thank God that it is all over with and, mostly, I thank God for your being there for me. It will remain in my heart forever.

From a former investigator of a County Prosecutor’s Office and retired private investigator:
At the time, I was mortified because, having only worked against you in the Prosecutor’s Office, I couldn’t picture being on the same side. Frank, I want to thank you for the pleasure of having worked with you over the past years. I have learned a great deal from you. Most importantly, I learned that cases were not always as black and white as I thought they were when I worked for the Prosecutor’s Office. You are a wonderful attorney who not only works hard, but also cares deeply about his clients. Frank, I think you are the best.

From a former police officer and a current private investigator:
In my professional career, both in law enforcement and as a Licensed Private Detective, I have worked with dozens of attorneys practicing in different areas of the law. I chose to seek your help simply because you, above all others, have always practiced with the highest degree of ethics, forthrightness, and sensitivity. You exemplify how the practice of law should be conducted. As always, whenever someone asks me for a lawyer referral, I automatically think of you. Whether the case is criminal or civil, I feel assured you will provide them with the most honest legal representation available.

From a client:
I had a situation that made me feel heavy and dark, hopeless and full of despair. I felt alone in that matter until I talked to you. I took a chance on you and you hit the ball out of the park for me. You got me through it with good results. I highly recommend you.
My son and I would like to thank you for going the extra mile for him. Because of your concern, attention to detail and utmost professionalism, he can now truly move on with his life. Thank you so very much for all the help you have given to make “another wish” a reality.

From an adversary in a case where we ultimately returned a verdict of $2,069,000:
In my distraction focusing on my . . . trial, I failed to ask you how things went with . . . I watched and learned from you throughout that case and greatly admire the consummate attorney that I hoped to emulate. I witnessed how very hard you worked and how you left no stone unturned.
I hope the case worked out for you and your clients. If it did not (and I hope it did) it was not for lack of the effect on your part which was humbling.
. . . I meant what I said about you to the jury and to your clients . . you are an excellent advocate . . and a very nice guy . .

From a former police lieutenant and current supervisor of an insurance carrier’s special investigations unit:
Thank you. I would like to add that I believe, your research, knowledge, demeanor and decision making were, without question, the linchpin in this case. I look forward to the next trial.

From a client:
“Luciano created hope when there seemed to be none. He made what seemed impossible become possible. Moreover, he gave me a new lease on life. His professionalism and reputation stands firm in the court room and he will fight for justice until the end. I will personally vouch for this matter. Your dedication and help cannot be described in words and I am deeply thankful of your patience and diligence in my case. Without you this could not have been done.”

From a client:
Frank, although I had very little experience with the law, you took me through the entire process step by step without misleading me at all. The only thing that impressed me more than your knowledge and expertise regarding the law, was your aggressiveness in defending me. When we first met, I made it clear to you what my goal was with this case and you assured me you would do everything in your power to help me achieve that goal. Sure enough with patience and diligence you came through on your promise to me. You are a great guy, and an incredible attorney. Words cannot express the gratitude which I have towards you.

A comment from a client charged with Domestic Violence Complaint:
You rock! You really did a great job!!

From a client:
I thank all of you – a great team – a winning crew!

From a business associate:
Working with many different attorneys in daily operations, Mr. Luciano by far has built a foundation of good practice by being truly prepared at client meetings as well as being reachable. As elementary as that may seem, many attorneys take on too many clients and or are unprepared for the task at hand. Phone calls are returned promptly and questions are met with a deep understanding of the law and all avenues that his clients are able to pursue. I highly recommend his services.
