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.

Posted by KC | March 18, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

DUI/DWI All Tickets Dismissed! Most Awesome!

I was cited for DUI/DWI, cell phone, wreckless driving, can't remember the fourth ticket, on the PIP in December 2017. Cifrodello got all four tickets dimissed and I need only visit the court on first day of proceedings and the last. My record remains clean as a whistle. Awesome!

Excellent Results

Chris and his colleague Pat handled a DUI case for me. They were extremely professional and were able to get the charges significantly reduced with no loss of license. I was very satisfied and would highly recommend them.

Posted by Arthur | September 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Highly recommended!!!

I was charged with a DWI arrest in east Brunswick (which is known for their dwi/dui convictions) and I refused the breathalyzer. I am from NY and usually your always told to refuse but in New Jersey they say always do it. Needless to say, I was facing major suspensions and fines. Chris was very infor...mative and knew his way around the courts including the people in it. I took a very good deal that was unexpected and now I can start to clean up my mistakes. Little fine, little suspension and I'll be on my way. I would recommend him anyday!

The Greatest

I needed help quickly with my case and as I first called Cifrodello Law Offices, they took my case in great consideration on helping me understand how to resolve the matter. I was really concerned but with their expertise, I felt confident to let them help me with my case. Afterwards, I couldn't beli...eve how great it feels to walk out the court feeling free as a bird. Now I am smiling moving on with my life... Sometimes, when misunderstanding happens, we all need great lawyers like the ones with Christopher James Cifrodello firm. My Thanks goes to their lovely and patient secretary Wanda L. R. to Christopher J. C. and to their Brilliant and Brave Co-team Lawyer Pat Vella. Thank you so Much! I am extremely happy because of your help! Anyone with Criminal defense, Speeding and traffic ticket, DUI and DWI etc., who needs help, please contact Christopher James Cifrodello firm. Thank you! Melissa

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.
