Cellino and Barnes is a Personal injury law attorney based in Buffalo but has offices in Rochester, Manhattan, Long Island, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Oakland. [1] They are known for their catchy jingle at the end of their commercials.
The firm was founded by Ross Cellino and Steve Barnes.
Barnes is a former officer in the United States Marine Corps and was named one of America's best lawyers in 2011. [1]
In 2005, an appellate court ruled that the partners had committed professional misconduct, resulting in the suspension of Cellino's license to practice law for six months.
Barnes was censured, but allowed to continue to practice.
The firm was briefly known then as the Barnes Firm.

Although the case was meant to be kept confidential but was leaked somewhere online.
