About Joseph A.
Joseph A. Romano has built a steady legal career rooted in courtroom work and workers' compensation matters. He founded The Law Offices of Joseph A. Romano and runs the firm from his base in New York. Colleagues and clients see him as a litigation lawyer who spends much of his time handling contested hearings and trial preparations.
Romano arrived at law after studying American history. He earned a B.A. in American History from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in 1982. He went on to Albany Law School, where he received his J.D. in 1985. Those formative years shaped a practice that blends case analysis with an eye for testimony and documentary proof.
He is authorized to practice in New York and is admitted to appear before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Those federal admissions have allowed him to take cases beyond state administrative proceedings when matters require litigation at the federal level.
Romano founded his own firm to focus on contested matters that require courtroom work and detailed knowledge of procedural rules. Over the years he has handled workers' compensation hearings, negotiated settlements, and prepared cases for trial. His work involves drafting pleadings, taking and defending depositions, and presenting evidence in front of administrative law judges and juries when necessary.
He maintains memberships in several professional organizations that reflect his practice areas. Romano is a member of the New York State Trial Lawyers and the Workers' Compensation Bar. He also holds membership in the Westchester County Bar Association. Those associations provide a regular forum for continuing education and peer consultation on evolving case law and procedural developments.
Romano's practice is practical and workmanlike. He focuses on preparing cases for the moments that matter: hearings, mediations, and trials. The firm represents clients in proceedings that arise out of workplace injuries and related disputes, and it handles the paperwork and advocacy those matters demand.
He currently concentrates his practice on workers' compensation and related trial litigation on behalf of injured workers.
