Get to Know Robert Restaino

Bob Restaino was born and raised here in Niagara Falls. After graduating from Niagara Catholic and studying history and political science at NCCC and Niagara University for undergraduate studies, Bob completed law school at UB.

From the beginning, Bob always intended to stay and practice law in his hometown. After admission, he developed his legal practice based on a philosophy of honesty and hard work. Together with his wife, Diana, Bob embarked on a successful legal and judicial career in Niagara and Erie counties while raising his growing family.

In the spirit of community, Bob has volunteered and participated in many civic activities and community organizations over the years. He continues that civic engagement today, while also enjoying the occasional game of golf, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.
