The Lama Law Firm was recommended to me by a lawyer who was no long handling divorce cases. I drove to Ithaca to meet Nino, and was immediately impressed with his knowledge and compassion for my situation. To make a long story short, I hired him and he easily surpassed all my expectations. Easily, the best lawyer I have ever dealt with.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Luciano L. Lama on a breach of contract case, and I could not be more impressed with his work. From the moment I engaged his services, Mr. Lama displayed the highest level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Mr. Lama is a true expert in employment law and contract disputes. His understanding of the legal principles involved in my case was exceptional, allowing him to craft a sound and effective strategy from day one. He quickly identified the key issues and risks, explaining everything to me in terms I could easily understand. His ability to anticipate the opposing party’s moves and stay several steps ahead was invaluable in achieving a favorable outcome.
I was fortunate to have Mr. Lama as my legal representative in a complex sexual harassment case. His exceptional skills and unwavering dedication brought me immense gratitude. Throughout the legal process, he navigated complexities with precision, ensuring justice prevailed. Despite my confusion as a layperson, Mr. Lama's remarkable ability to simplify legal concepts was invaluable. His commitment went beyond expectations—he secured funding from my former employer, relieving me of financial burdens. During the pretrial process, his brilliant cross-examination dismantled my accuser's credibility through meticulous preparation. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Lama for his unmatched professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his clients. BQ
We sought the council for guidance on dealing with a manufactured home retailer not fulfilling their contract. Luciano took the time to listen to our situation from beginning to end. We left with guidance on how to proceed with the retailer, who was unresponsive to our situation. Luciano was upfront about the potential cost and stress involved in litigation. He asked that We copy him on any email correspondence with the retailer; low and behold, we received a call from the retailer, and they are taking steps to resolve the situation swiftly.
The first impression I received from Mr. Nino Lama was how knowledgeable he is, the fact that he allowed me to speak and he took notes and time to understand a very confusing situation I was going thru (he was quick to figure things out fast). I tried explaining this issue to many other attorneys and their response were: "there is to much going on with this case" followed by "I am very sorry but I cant help you"; or " This is something that you can win, but it will take a very long time". I went into Lama's office on March 20th, 2023, he took my case and explained exactly how he was going to proceed, Mr. Nino kept me informed thru constant communication over email and over the phone. He was compassionate, and extremely responsive never taking more than 1 hour to get back to me, some times even less. Nino Lama won my case on March 31st, 2023, in just 11 days. I believed him when he said: I will fight very hard for you Mr. Duany. Know that at Lama Law, Mr. Nino will fight for you too.
Luciano Lama is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and kind. He took the time to thoroughly explain things to me and was highly communicative during the entire process. He answered all my questions promptly and fully. I am so grateful to him and would recommend him to anyone.

Nino Lama is an excellent attorney who really goes above and beyond for his clients, I would trust him with anything. I highly recommend Nino Lama.
Luciano Lama was recommended to me by another lawyer. I am grateful for that referral. Luciano Lama and the personnel I interacted with at his law firm were professional and very kind. The research and the documentation of that research regarding my case was exceptionally thorough. His efforts enabled both sides to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
