The best of the BEST!

If you have reached this page, chances are you are looking for an attorney to BEST represent you and your case. Look no further! Mr. DiGirolamo and his team are truly the best of the best. This was the first time I ever had to go through the process of hiring an attorney. From the moment I met wit...h this firm until the day I received my settlement I always felt I was in great hands. Choosing an attorney can either make or break your case and I can assure you that Mr. DiGirolamo will do the best he can at representing you and settling your case, as he did for me. Sincere thanks to Mr. DiGirolamo and his firm for all of your support and hard work throughout this process! I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of a great attorney and firm!

Five-Star + Attorney!

Christopher DiGirolamo represented me for an auto accident. It was a complicated case due to several factors, involving multiple doctors, procedures, surgical centers, and finally surgery and rehab. While not the largest case he ever had, it was certainly a challenge! He and his paralegal did an e...xcellent job of keeping all the facts, paperwork and personnel involved straight. Chris was in regular contact with me and my husband, the insurance companies and my doctors. I always received a response if I called or emailed. All these are things I would expect from an attorney. What sets Chris apart, however, are attributes that go beyond the minimum required to "get the job done." His passion for his profession... It's apparent Chris has a love for the law and justice. Not once did he need to consult with someone else - his knowledge base is vast - and he knew the answer to any question we asked right away. At no time did I ever feel he was rushing through my case just to settle and move on. Chris sets very high standards for himself to be sure he is not just doing all he can, but going that extra mile. His dedication to his clients... If I needed to see him, even if it was not something regularly scheduled, he always made time to see me. If I had a question, Chris would always contact me quickly or be sure his paralegal got me the information I needed if he was unavailable. When I emailed him, he always emailed me back. He often stayed late at the office or came in on a Saturday to accommodate my work schedule. When I didn't understand something, Chris would review it with me in a different way until he was sure I was clear on the subject. He forged relationships with my doctors if he didn't have previous experience with them to be sure I was getting the care required. His compassion for what his clients are going through... I can't emphasize enough how important this characteristic was to me. Through most of the time my case took, I was upset, crying, feeling defeated. It was a scary time for both me and my husband. Whenever we met with Chris, he presented a positive attitude even if the news wasn't great that particular day. This was a huge comfort to me. Chris is not only professional and polite, he's personable, sympathetic and empathetic when that applied. He understands, and is a decent, caring person in a world where we hear lawyers advertising on TV how good, quick and efficient they are. I don't want that. I want someone who is going to take the time and effort my case needs, but you also get the "warm fuzzy" with Chris. In summary, Chris DiGirolamo ranks among the best of the best. Passionate, professional, dedicated and caring. He resolved my case in a manner that was more satisfying than expected. He is an amazing person and I would highly recommend Chris and his firm in a heartbeat. I wish I could give him 10 stars.

Excellent attorney & support staff

Chris DiGiralamo was an excellent advocate in my negligence case. His confidence, professionalism and kindness made this difficult process easier for my husband and myself. The same for his support team. Marisol Suarez was always there via phone, email or text helping me to navigate the difficulties ...of Workers Comp in addition to the negligence case and Karen Sanchez, who recommended the firm to me, was invaluable in helping with video & pictures. I thank you all here, publicly, and recommend this firm highly for any legal needs.

Christopher DiGirolamo of Maggiano, DiGirolamo & Lizzi was great!!

I used Christopher DiGirolamo for a workers comp case. I was told by everybody that I didn't have a case. I was referred to Chris, who not only took my "unwinnable" case, but felt he could get me a fair settlement. He was good at explaining what the process was in a way I would understand and kept... me informed along the way. His courtesy and professionalism always kept me at ease. He explained to me what my options were and helped me make the right decisions for my case. Chris and Marisol Suarez responded to emails and phone calls in a timely manners. From a few meetings with him, Chris was able to get all necessary information and he quickly, knowledgeably and professionally closed my case getting me far more than I expected. He fought for and got the maximum amount the judge recommended. I would highly recommend Christopher DiGirolamo for the professionalism and diligence shown to me during this process.
