5 Sophia Clay

It is great pleasure to write this review, I’ve had the honor of having Richard (Rick) Nicotra as my personal injury Attorney. I first solicited his services October 2002, Due to a MVA. Which permanently caused me to become disabled.

From the very start Richard handled my family, and I as his own. Always to explain things to me in lament terms. When speaking with him I never felt as if he were trying to DUMB me down. He never used complex terms. No fast talking nor tying to settle fast. Always to repeat himself upon request. With a smile!! Richard respected me as an individual. Race nor education, or financial background played a factor. 

No time of the day was too early or late to call him. He has gone beyond measures to assist me. Referring me to excellent Doctor’s for MVA care to Divorce Lawyer. Not to mention financial advice. 

His handwork, patience, enthusiasm, dedication, tenacity, and willingness to fight knee deep. Has earned him the great position as partner. And this is why I will continue to send my precious family and friends to him. 

Richard Nicotra, I give you your flowers while you can still smell them. Your name will echo in household’s years to come.

5 Tonjanae Garner via

My lawyer worked with me from beginning to end even when I got frustrated. He always kept in contact with me & made sure he stayed on top of the case. I will refer him to anybody who has been in a motor accident and needs help.

5 Robert Kremer via

Working with Nicotra firm has been an enlightening experience. I always gave myself credit for being a good communicator until I met Rick. He has a gift of listening and was very compassionate concerning my experience. He was able to understand my needs and explain all the details that needed to occur in a manner that was understandable to me in a confusing and stressful time. So thankful for this firm!

5 Taylor Lonzi via

After a work accident, Mr. Nicotra not only took on my personal injury case but also referred me to a worker’s comp. lawyer who could assist me with that part. When I felt completely lost and confused, he explained the ins and outs of the legal process involved, and the best way to go forward. Always quick to answer questions and help problem solve, he and his team take the extra steps to make you feel like you’re in good hands. Like most people in my situation, I had little knowledge of the system prior to my accident, so I put my trust in the Nicotra Firm. Throughout the lengthy and confusing process, I’ve frequently felt grateful and relieved that I did so.

5 TJ Malone via

5 Michael Taczak via

Rick took my case to trial and we one the whole policy.I highly recommend him.Great guy.

5 Andrea Mccarthy via

I used Andrew Connelly after I was in a car accident, and he has been my go-to for over 10 years when anyone has asked for a recommendation for a no-fault attorney. His knowledge, patience, and professionalism go a long way in making an often difficult and challenging situation easier. He is reliable, and someone you can trust to get the job done right. The 5 stars are well deserved.

5 Matt Maser via

Rick and his team were amazing when taking care if my parents post car accident. They needed someone to walk them through the process and to guide them on the proper steps to take. Rick was never out if touch and always had a set plan of action. He took the time to can and update them several times a week on the progress. If I ever need an attorney, I will be going to Rick Nicotra and his team.

5 Scott Wilkowski via

After interviewing several attorneys, Nicotra law firm stood out from the rest.
I was referred by a friend who was involved in a bad accident. I didn’t think I had a good case, but he compassionate and assured me I had a very good case and he exceeded my expectations.
Nicotra was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. He kept communication simple and understanding.
Mr. Nicotra also did an excellent job in getting the maximum amount of money from the insurance company as well as paying for all hospital bills.
He answered every call and replied to my emails in a timely manner, exceeding expectations. He kept me informed every step of the way.
Mr. Nicotra became more of a friend than my attorney. I would definitely recommend Nicotra Law Firm to all family and friends.

He knows how to explain legal terms and how things work in a way that anyone can understand. He is kind, understanding and genuinely wants to help people in our community who are unfortunately impacted by injuries they have sustained as a result of negligence. He pushes to get you everything you are deserved and does not back down when you get low balled. His dedication to every client and his ruthless work ethic have spoken volumes throughout his career. I wish there were more than 5 stars to put on a review, or a better way to express my gratitude for everything Rick has done for me.

I’m always very happy with the communication and dedication. He is amazing, anytime I was offered lowered than maximum, he fought it and always made sure I received what was deserved. I’m very happy with my overall experiences over these years. I look forward to working with you again. Thank you Rick

5 TJ Malone via

Rick Nicotra was very responsive and understanding. I’ve always received a call back in reasonable amount of time. He answers all my questions, never felt rushed like previous experiences. Rick Nicotra makes insurance companies pay what you are owed. Insurance companies always come back with lowest numbers, Rick is going to make sure you get what’s u deserve.

5 R S via

Rick Nicotra has been a constant in my life the last several years as I’ve had the misfortune of being involved in multiple accidents. Due to some unfortunate personal circumstances, I did not follow through and quite frankly, did not think much about it. Rick called to advise me that he was trying to get a settlement. The case was resolved in short order. His compassion and understanding of my situation was truly touching. I will forever be grateful and will wholeheartedly recommend him if someone close to me ever needs an advocate.

5 Geron via

After being involved in a rear-end collision, I assumed my insurance company would take care of it, since the other driver was clearly at fault. Unfortunately, I was wrong. After getting nowhere with the insurance companies, I met with Rick Nicotra for a free consultation. He took my case without hesitation, and immediately got the ball rolling. Throughout the process, the insurance company offered several low-ball figures, which we rejected. It was clear the firm was ready and willing to take my case to trial to get the compensation they felt I deserved. Rick kept me in the loop the whole time and explained his rationale for his course of actions. At the end of the day, he secured a settlement for more than 3 times the initial offer. I can’t say enough about this law firm. Not only are they relentless advocates for their clients, but they’re truly genuine people who treat you like family. Call them today, you’ll thank me later!

5 Missy M via

Rick Nicotra is a GREAT attorney. Rick is is able to blend his extensive knowledge of the law with a caring attitude towards his clients. Rick is always available to patiently answer questions and provide information. Not only would I trust Rick Nicotra with my legal matters, I would also strongly recommend him to my friends and family.
 

5 Mark via

A few years ago, Richard (Rick) Nicotra represented me after I was involved in a car accident. I suffered a lower back injury, which was new to me after years of athletics. I had never been involved in a personal injury case like this and didn’t know the process, but a family member recommended I go see Rick just to get some guidance. From the first meeting in his office, Rick and his staff made me feel comfortable. Rick took the time to walk me through the process, explained the various possible outcomes, and answered all my questions (and there were many!). I put my case in Rick’s hands that same day and I have never regretted that decision. My case took some time, but Rick was able to bring it to a positive conclusion for me and my family. Rick’s knowledge of the law, skill as an attorney, and attention to the client have made me recommend him to numerous people since he handled my case. I hope I never need his services again, but if something happens it’s good to know he’s there. You don’t know how important it is to have a great lawyer until you really need one…and Rick is one of the great ones!
 

5 Greg Ame via

Professionalism, timeliness, communication, etc. all top notch. Would definitely recommend Rick Nicotra and his staff for anyone who is seeking legal advice.
 

5 Stacey via

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in 8/2014. Immediately, my husband recommended I sign with Mr. Nicotra for assistance. He’s the only attorney I would have gone to with this anyway. I am still being treated for my injuries so the PI case has not gone too far at this time. However, he and his assistant have been extremely reliable, friendly and courteous in responding to my various questions and assisting me through this mess. They have provided me real and specific details and information on how my injuries may impact my case, and advised me upfront with how the court system operates in these cases, and how the length of treatment connects to everything. And let’s be honest, even not having to deal with the no-fault paperwork has been worth it’s weight in gold.
 

5 Samantha Lynn via

After being in an accident I had no idea how to deal with the stresses of the aftermath. I found Rick and his team on google and I’m so glad I went with this firm! His staff is super friendly and always helpful with any questions or concerns that I had. James is very knowledgeable in the no fault department and was always so kind and patient with me.
Thank you, Rick, James and Kailey for all of your hard work in helping me through this difficult time.
 

5 Heather Woloszyn via

Rick knows what he is doing! He fought with all he had for me. Got it settled before most do. My only complaint is how long it took. But a lawsuit isn’t a fast thing. And that’s not ricks fault! He is the best. And I highly recommend him if you really want a lawyer to get the most they can for you!
 

5 Karisha Tapia via

Richard Nicotra has been helping me with my car accident claim. Throughout the length of the claim, I’ve visited several doctors continuously, which whom he put me in contact. The injuries I sustained are permanent I will continue to have residual symptoms for life. Richard Nicotra has been an extraordinary attorney throughout this journey of recuperation. Nicotra would make himself available to speak with me when questions I had would arise. He would explain each step of the process to me in a way I would understand. I was updated regularly, provided with an understanding of the proceedings, and rest assured the claim would be taken care of, with his client at the forefront of his work. Having an attorney that works with you and for you creates an essence of confidence. Being able to continue to rest and treat on a weekly with a reliable, respectable, and expeditious firm on my side. The process was fast. I received the total full amount of the claim of $100,000. The only stress I underwent was the permanency of my injuries. Nicotra treated me as family. Family they will be. At this time, I would like to thank Richard Nicotra for all his committed work and professionalism. If you are considering a car accident attorney, look no further.

5 Lisa Quigley via

One of the best lawyers I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with. He is an experienced, knowledgeable, and hard working attorney. There is no one else I would trust with my family and friends case. I know from personal experience that their case is in good hands with Rick. He treats all his cases as if he was representing his own family and friends.
 

5 Jessica Cassick via

I was rear-ended in a three-car car accident at a red light. After wasting a year with a different lawyer in Lockport, NY, I was refereed to Rick from one of his past clients. He was able to take over my case, and straighten it out, as well as refer me to a really amazing pain management that helped me SO much. It was the best decision I could have made. Rick is passionate, knowledgeable, supportive, and he speaks in black and white terms. He never talked down to me or made my case out to seem like I was someone from those irritating commercials. I was treated like a human, always, and I truly appreciated it. After I was medically declared permanently disabled, I went back to school, and I was getting my master’s degree by the time insurance settled my case. Now that my case is over, he still checks in from time to time to see how things are going, which I sincerely appreciate. Rick is motivated, compassionate, blatant, and will do everything he can while keeping his promises. I will never go to another MVA lawyer, and I direct everyone I know his way!
 

5 Lisa via

Mr. Nicotra actually listens and was sympathetic in our case. He worked diligently and kept us informed the whole time. I am thankful to have found him to help us through this difficult time. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.
