Mr. Restaino went on to attend law school at St. John’s University in Queens, NY. Although he was very pleased with the education that he was receiving at St. John’s, Mr. Restaino returned home in order to finish his legal studies at the University at Buffalo due to his desire to serve the community where he was born and raised. While attending the University at Buffalo Law School, Anthony served as a Legal Intern for New York State Assemblyman Sam Hoyt and was later hired as a part-time law clerk at the Buffalo Regional Office of the New York State Attorney General. Additionally, Mr. Restaino was hired as a part-time law clerk for a plaintiff’s personal injury firm in Buffalo, NY.

Having been employed at said firm for almost five years, Mr. Restaino handled a wide variety of personal injury cases, including automobile accidents, slip and falls, nursing home negligence, medical malpractice, products liability and construction site accidents. While employed at the firm, Mr. Restaino was mentored by a personal injury attorney who has an outstanding reputation in the Western New York legal community. As a result of this relationship, Anthony has developed a core belief that hard work and attention to detail are essential in obtaining the best possible results for personal injury clients.

In November 2013, Anthony partnered with his former college and law school classmate and long time friend, Neil E. Reddien, to form Restaino Reddien, LLP.
