About Christopher
Biography
Union County Criminal Defense Attorney Christopher J. Cifrodello views his role as both advocate and confidant. People come to an attorney mostly during an extremely stressful time of their lives. They come to him because they want someone who will be there for them and believe in them, because he knows how the law and the legal system work, and because his clients want someone who will fight and advocate for them. Attorney Cifrodello centers his practice around these core values. All cases are treated the same. Every stone is turned on every case. Whether you are charged with a speeding ticket or are charged with manslaughter, every motion and/or argument applicable to the case is made, leaving no stone unturned.

DWI
With a doubt Chris is an amazing lawyer. He knows the system well and knows exactly what to say when to say it. Got my DWI dismissed and removed from my record.

Impressed
Mr. Cifrodello handled my case in a timely manner given the short notice he had to take my case and given his wife had just delivered their son he still did exactly what he said he would do. He was able to knock down a very serious ticket that I had received in another state in which I am not living ...

Careless Driving
I am very satisfied with Mr. Cifrodello's services. He managed to dismiss the case as he said he would. He is very specific, not that much into details but effective. I highly recommend him. He is the best!
