Great Attorney

Christopher Cifrodello is a great choice of attorney with solid performance. I had a 5 point speeding ticket and a 2 point ticket. The speeding ticket would have cost me a license suspension for a certain amount of time and 5 points on my license. Mr. Cifrodello was able to get the speeding ticke...t dismissed. The only thing I pleaded guilty for was the 2 point ticket which isn't a bad trade off and well appreciated...I highly recommend hiring Christopher Cifrodello as your next attorney

Posted by Mycro | October 15, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Hit and run/ suspended licence and much more

Chris is the best. Little higher fees but well worth. I was expecting fines in thousand plus jail time. 8 legitimate tickets. Did not want to show documents and run a way. Got located 10 days later. Result: $106 plus $38 court cost in fine. "Failure to report accident" How he did that it bagels my... mind. Think about before hiring those $350 smacks especially those from STABILE firm on Rt 9 in Woodbridge

Mycro ... I am very appreciative of the positive review and more pleased with the fact that you were immensely happy with my services. I pride myself on giving my all to each and every individual client's case because that is exactly what they deserve. That is why I handle ever single case myself from start to finish! With that said, I do not think it is appropriate, nor professional, to compare my services with that of other attorneys. Regarding your comment toward the "Stabile Firm" made above, I make no representations (good, bad or indifferent) regarding the professional services provided by that firm and would appreciate you not using this platform for that purpose. Nevertheless, I thank you for the positive feedback relative to my services and do not ever hesitate to contact me in the future if need be.

Traffic Ticket, Excellent!!!

OMG!!! Chris was the best lawyer ever. He knows his job well and he will do exactly what he tells you. I was so nervous and stressed out when I got the ticket, but it all worked out well. I Had a speeding ticket going 50mph to a 25mph. But based on the reviews online and what he told me, I decided to... hire him. he did exactly what he said he was going to do. He got me the 0 point and I just paid for the fines. I will definitely recommend him to everyone I know. Thank you so much Chris, I am very happy with your service. May God bless you.

Great Job

MR. Cifrodello Helped me tremendously In court. He helped in bringing my traffic violations down with no points and a small fine. I would highly recommend Mr. Cifrodello to anyone who needs a lawyer.

efficient, gets the job done, no drama

I was fortunate to find Mr Cifrodello at court one morning and was impressed by his NO nonsense approach to settling claims. I hired him on the spot and he took care of everything.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
