I am an attorney with approximately twenty years of litigation experience. I have handled over a thousand cases and have successfully taken many to trial. A few weeks ago, I received a letter from my internet services provider indicating that Malibu Media had filed an action in Federal Court alleging that someone using my IP address had downloaded and distributed copies of copyrighted pornographic movies. My internet services provider further advised me that Malibu Media issued a subpoena seeking to discover my identity so that it could personally name me in the already pending lawsuit. As you can imagine, the disclosure of my identity would not only cause an enormous amount of personal embarrassment, but would undoubtedly cause serious harm to my professional reputation as the Complaint filed by Malibu Media is a publicly filed document which any person, employer, adversary or potential client could view. After interviewing numerous attorneys, I chose Jeff Antonelli to be my counsel because he was by far the most knowledgeable, practical, experienced and responsive attorney with whom I had spoken.
From the inception of our attorney-client relationship, Jeff returned each of my telephone calls and responded to each of my emails within hours – a practice uncommon for most attorneys. Within a matter of weeks, Jeff negotiated an anonymous settlement at approximately 50% of the amount originally demanded by Malibu Media. As a result of his aggressive but practical approach, I was able to quickly settle the case and move on with my life without the embarrassment and expense of protracted litigation.
Significantly, Jeff’s extremely affordable flat fee structure provided me with cost certainty, which is a critical component of any litigation dispute. If you have the unfortunate experience of being accused of violating copyright laws or being named as a defendant in a lawsuit, I cannot recommend Jeff and his team more highly – and this comes from a seasoned litigation professional who knows the difference between a quality lawyer and someone who is not.
If I had to re-live all that I experienced through my infringement lawsuit from Malibu Media for “allegedly” downloading several adult films, I would hire Antonelli Law all over again without hesitation. Mr. Jeffrey Antonelli and his law team are professional, trustworthy and very well-informed of infringement cases. He has dealt with hundreds of these cases, making my commitment to hire him that much easier to trust him. This being my first lawsuit, Mr. Antonelli was able to successfully calm my nerves and break down all the “fancy” law vernacular into simple terms. As the case progressed, Mr. Antonelli was able to lay out all my options clearly. He was flexible and always available to speak with me over the phone, even daily. His priority was to keep me safe, involve me every step of the case and consider all my personal beliefs and feelings into the matter. Lastly, Mr. Antonelli was able to turnover the case quickly with no drama. I am so thankful for Antonelli Law and would recommend them to everyone. If it were possible, I would rate Antonelli Law with more than 5 stars!
From start to finish Antonelli Law made my case as stress free as possible. I was guided through the whole process with easy to understand, simple language. I felt that I had personal service and reaching Jeffrey Antonelli and his team was always quick and easy. The team was extremely responsive and was always able to answer my many questions which helped set my mind at ease. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case and was happy with my choice in selecting Antonelli Law to represent me.
Many law abiding citizens don’t think this will happen to them but I’m here to say it does. I got a knock at the door one day and received an ISP letter from my cable company and inside of it was a copy of a subpoena with my IP address. I didn’t understand what it was, why I got it or the possible legal issues it could mean for myself and my family much less the worry of dealing with a legal issue when you live paycheck to paycheck. Like most people I googled ISP letter and what you find is scary so I decided to google ISP defense attorneys and Antonelli Law had great reviews and I liked what I saw on their website. I decided to reach out to Antonelli and associates with Jeff himself picking up the phone. Many may not like talking with Attorneys but Jeff was great to talk to and the call was like talking with any other guy. He provided me an initial consultation at no charge while taking his time to get all the specifics but what made the difference is he was very understanding of the situation I was forced into and provided me very sound legal advice even before I retained him. I made sure I was very transparent with him and he was the same with me discussing all options and the possible outcomes of each including possible dollar amounts. I decided to retain his services after we talked. The communication was top notch which is important to me. Jeff reached a settlement quickly while looking out for my interests the whole way. I would definitely recommend calling Jeff and his team if you are put into this unfortunate situation as I was and I will say timeliness makes the difference!
Jeff and his team were amazing in assisting us. They exhibited extreme expertise at handling our case and achieved the best results for it. Jeff was really easy to talk to and explained the process and the options of our case in a very reassuring way. We felt very comfortable with his advice, and the cost of everything was very reasonable. Their experience and knowledge on the process with copyrights spoke for itself during their services and we would recommend Antonelli Law to anyone in need of legal advice/help.
