I cannot say enough positive things about Chris Lenzo

I cannot say enough positive things about Chris Lenzo. As an extremely busy attorney, his response time is quite remarkable. His knowledge of case law and his experience with wrongful termination/discrimination lawsuits is exceptional. He is honest and upfront and extremely realistic. We settled the ...case in mediation. This case could have dragged on for a couple of years if we continued to pursue the lawsuit, however it would have been too emotionally draining for my husband and I. I highly recommend Chris Lenzo should you need an attorney for this type of case.

An excellent Attorney for Wrongful Termination Issues.

I hired Mr. Lenzo in a wrongful termination case. I found him to be very knowledgeable regarding wrongful termination and discrimination. He also was an extremely quick study in learning about my industry and its unique issues. His ability to drill down to the details while wading through a massive... volume of documents, was very impressive. I also found Mr. Lenzo to be very tenacious on my behalf, especially in deposing witnesses. I was comforted in knowing that he was fighting for me. I also felt that he kept me informed every step of the way. If you ever believe that you have been wrongfully terminated or discriminated against in an employee, employer situation, and are considering legal action, I recommend that you contact Mr. Lenzo. I was extremely satisfied with his work and professional acumen.

Worth Every Penny!

Going through a lawsuit can be a very emotional time. And without going through the specifics of my lawsuit, I felt that my reputation was on the line. Chris Lenzo was recommended to me by a co-worker. The initial consultation fee seemed very high and I knew that other attorneys would meet with me ...for free. So after consideration, I did chose to meet with Chris. And he was worth every penny!!! Chris was so knowledgeable and professional that I immediately felt at ease. I never once had any worries throughout the entire duration of my lawsuit. I felt so prepared knowing that I had the best lawyer on my side. Chris had thousands of documents relating to my case that he sorted and scanned. He knew what to request and what documents we had a legal right to have. He was an expert on the intricacies of the law. We never made it to a courtroom and ended up settling out of court. (And I was very happy with my settlement....) But more importantly, I never felt pressured to make any decisions. Chris always informed me of all of my options and left all of the decisions up to me. A good friend once told me that you make people accountable for their behavior by making them pay with their wallets. And I found this to be true. I give Chris my highest recommendation. If you ever need a qualified lawyer, Chris is truly the best!

Posted by Robert | March 25, 2014 | Military Law

Chris Lenzo is one of the finest lawyers practicing today.

Without previous experience in military law, Mr. Lenzo brilliantly developed a legal argument that successfully gave standing to uniformed soldiers to sue the military in a civilian court of law. Mr. Lenzo's legal acumen and reasoning is absolutely first-rate and he ran circles around the opposition.... Moreover, Mr. Lenzo demonstrates both an earnestness and an empathy for his clients that is uncommonly found. I give Chris Lenzo my highest recommendation!
