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.

Fantastic Lawyer.
He did a fantastic job getting my cell phone and failure to yield tickets dropped and got the points knocked of my obstructing traffic.
