Simply the best

I had an outstanding experience working with Chris Lenzo. He successfully represented me in a case against a previous employer. Chris is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and highly experienced. I would strongly recommend him to anyone facing wrongful termination or retaliation due to medical... reasons. He is truly dedicated to fighting for your rights.

Professionalism, integrity, and determination. Outstanding representation!

Chris Lenzo did an outstanding job in my employment discrimination case. He responded to my questions in a timely fashion, provided clear communication through each step of the process, and handled my case in an honest and straight forward manner. Chris’s expertise in employment law along with his ha...rd work ensured justice would prevail in my case and got me the compensation I deserved. Likewise, Chris’s law firm staff was professional, courteous, organized, and effective. I highly recommend Chirs Lenzo’s firm to anyone with an employment legal matter in New Jersey or New York.

Employment Law Expert

I hired Mr. Lenzo to represent me in a gender discrimination case against my former employer while I was still employed by the company. I had consulted with other attorneys prior to meeting Mr. Lenzo and each had expressed doubt about commencing the case while I was a current employee. Mr. Lenzo o...n the other hand did not hesitate, showing that he was not afraid to fight for his clients’ rights and take on seemingly “tougher” cases even if it means ruffling a few feathers. Mr. Lenzo’s attention to detail is phenomenal. Aside from being an employment law expert, he takes the time to make sure that all his T’s are crossed and his I’s dotted. Mr. Lenzo and his team took the daunting process of standing up to my employer and made it almost painless. There was never a moment where I needed Mr. Lenzo and could not reach him, or where his office “dropped the ball”. I am truly grateful to have been a beneficiary of the well-oiled machine that is Lenzo & Reis, LLC.

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.

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.
