"It is hard to describe the feeling of relief my family and I felt when the jury rendered its verdicts of No Cause of Action on all counts.   This was an exceptionally difficult time, particularly because we knew that my company and I were being falsely accused of wrongdoings we’d never committed.   The stakes were very high, with potentially severe financial consequences to my family and my business.

Thankfully, we made the right decision when we retained Tom Cardelli and his team to defend us.  Tom’s expertise in probing the details of the case, developing a winning legal strategy, and presenting our defense compellingly in the courtroom was critical in helping the jury see the truth.    I hope I never have to go through this type of experience again.  But if I do, I know I’ll be calling Tom Cardelli."

“Congratulations on your 18 years as a law firm. Your firm has stood the test of time not only as you opened your firm but also as we are going through today's economic turmoil. We continue to look forward to the great service you provide to us at Westfield. Once again best wishes and congratulations!”

-Robert W. Bowers,
Westfield Insurance Company

“We (as well as other property owners) have had several occasions to meet with Mr. Lanfear. In our opinion, Mr. Lanfear represented our concerns as well as those of Westfield Insurance brilliantly. On every occasion, Mr. Lanfear was very polite, well prepared, and a quick study of the situation that we see as property owners. In court, Mr. Lanfear was exceptionally well prepared, extremely capable, professional, and presented our case to the Judge as good as humanly possible. Regardless of the final outcome (which we fully believe will be in our favor), we are very pleased to have had Mr. Lanfear as our legal counsel in this matter”.

-Paul and Jean Johnson,
Silver Lake Property Owners Association

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again for your expertise both in the court room and in customer service. You certainly impressed Mr. Pallas at City Tavern. Partnering with quality defense counsel like yourself is a pleasure”.

-Sheila W. Lilly,
Regional Claims Operations Executive

“Even though I am not a legal expert, I can discern the salient features and the way they were presented in the courtroom. Mr. Lanfear focused on the specific pertinent issues of the case without any extraneous legalistic parlance as the opposing attorney engaged in, and he presented them with such a convincing clarity that the jury was able to understand that there were no merits, whatsoever, to the case”.

-Irmgard Pallas,
City Tavern

“The University wishes to express its deepest gratitude to you for the time and effort spent defending us in the Schmidt case. Your thoughtful guidance and seasoned experience was appreciated by all. Job well done!”

-Dr. Lee Johnson,
Siena Heights University

“Congratulations on achieving an outstanding result for Siena Heights University. You both were very thorough and a pleasure to work with throughout the case. I know the administration of the University believes that their professional reputations have now been vindicated through your good efforts and the wisdom of the jury. Thanks again.”

-Attorney Tom McCarthy

“Congratulations on a tremendous job and the win in federal court. Obviously, I cannot speak for Siena Heights, but as an individual that felt personally slandered, it is quite rewarding to have a jury recognize the reality of this case.

Thank you for your diligent effort and for assisting with the public affirmation for the integrity of my work and profession.”
