Excellent Attorney

Chris was very attentive and knowledgeable on all aspects of employment law. He kept me informed of the process and any responses received from the other party. Chris was always easily reachable by phone or email - even outside of work hours and on weekends. He was very honest in his interpretation ...of the case and what the possible outcomes could be if we followed his recommendations, but always giving me the choice to make the final decision. He effortlessly picked apart the other attorney and was able to quickly obtain a better settlement than I was even expecting. I would strongly recommend him as a lawyer and as a person of integrity.

Employment Race Discrimination

Chris handled my executive employment discrimination claim against my former employer. He was recommended by a trusted friend/attorney. From the initial consultation through the final contact and case closing Chris has been excellent. He built a very strong case from the facts I provided and his deep... understanding of the laws associated with employment discrimination. His due diligence in working through the process with corporate attorneys and their outside counsel was very professional and effective. Chris' approach to negotiation (aggressive but reasonable targets) was critical to us reaching a settlement via mediation. This proved best for all parties. I am very pleased with the service Chris and his firm provided along with the outcome. He is a strong advocate for the employee, tenacious and follows through on execution.

A lawyer's lawyer!

Having recently concluded a case with Chris, and having practiced law for over 30 years in more then one state, I can attest to the fact that Chris represents the "upper range" of the top 1% of the practicing employment lawyers in his field. Representing a fellow lawyer can be a pain in the ____, b...ut Chris was dead on in his advice, his knowledge, and at times his demeanor and helped me through a difficult time and case. I wholeheartedly recommend him to others needing a great employment lawyer!

Five Star Guidance

When you find yourself in the need of an attorney to help you fight an unfair labor issue with (in my case a major corporation) its not just about the facts. There is a level of emotional stress that I didn't realize would be part of the process. Chris provided me with the right balance of intelligen...ce, skill and yes emotional support all leading to a favorable outcome.

David vs Goliath!

I actually found Mr. Lenzo on AVVO and I must say I was not disappointed. My initial consultation was almost 3 hours. He was attentive and thorough weeding out emotion from the facts keeping me on track with the series of events. He had a plan with a time line of how he thought it would play out a...nd of course he was on target. I highly recommend Mr. Lenzo and his team for they are courteous, knowledgeable , and on point because of them I had a favourable outcome within 5 months.
