My Experience

Mr. DiGirolamo represented me during a workman compensation case and was quite helpful in bringing about a fair settlement to the case. His attention to my case and knowledge of the law made for the entire process to be handled in a timely manner. His helpful staff remained in contact with me during ...the entire event. I'm glad I had Mr DiGirolamo as my attorney and will seek his council in the future should the need arise.

Good Attorney

Christopher DiGirolamo was right on top of things. He kept me informed and advised me. He was available for all my questions. He called me back when he was out of the office. I would definitely use him again if necessary and I would recommend his services to anyone who needed an attorney. Maris...ol Suarez was very helpful and also kept in touch with me.

Results

Chris sat down with me and went over the case step by step. He was personable and professional. Everything I needed to do was spelled out clearly, and any coordination that needed to be done was expertly handled by Chris's staff. Any questions that I had were answered quickly, usually by Chris him...self. When my employer became uncooperative, Chris was on top of the situation for me, and protected my rights. Because of the complexity of my case, the legal proceedings dragged on. My only concern is that I wish I had received more feedback from Chris during that time. That being said, the outcome off the case was very positive and I am satisfied that I was compensated properly. I would without hesitation have Chris represent me in any future litigation.

Christopher is an empathetic and talented attorney; he is a "lawyer's lawyer".

Words cannot express how grateful and pleased I am to have had Christopher DiGirolamo and his paralegal Christine Carrino represent me in connection with my personal injury action. Christopher allayed my anxieties and made me feel better each and every time we spoke. He put things in perspective fo...r me while at the same time, not "sugar coating" the difficult days ahead that were in store for me, both physically and throughout the legal proceedings. Christopher always was interested in my ideas and my point of view. He went out of his way to communicate with me and keep me informed. When Christopher was in court we engaged in many real time texting sessions. He respected my decisions about strategy and was constant in upholding his integrity. With Christopher's tenacity and wit, the case was ultimately resolved without trial. Christopher and the law firm of Maggiano, DiGirolamo & Lizzi, LLC made every effort to accommodate me in whatever way they could. I offer my thanks and gratitude.

Fantastic Lawyer!

We hired Chris DiGirolamo as our attorney after Mike suffered a life changing injury at work. From the time we met Chris we felt we can trust him to work in the best interest for Mike’s needs. Chris is very down to earth and we felt comfortable whenever we met with him. He spoke to us so we always... understood what was going on. He never threw around legal jargon that we would not be able to understand. He was always willing to ensure we knew exactly how our case was proceeding. Chris showed humanity in dealing with Mike’s injuries and understanding of Mike’s unwillingness to accept some of the changes in his life. Chris’s high level of energy and desire to bring a case to the best possible results were evident from day one. Our case was settled out of court with the help of a mediator and Chris was by our side explaining what was going on every step of the way. His preparation throughout the case was evident as he spoke before the mediator. It was a pleasure to watch Chris at work and know he was working for us. He is tough and stubborn when necessary. We were also impressed by the respect shown to Chris by the retired judge we worked with as well as other lawyers. Chris was only happy with this case when he knew we had a settlement that we were very impressed with.
