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.

Wrongful termination

I hired Chris Lenzo, after talking to three attorneys, because of his passion and responsiveness. He has an excellent record of dedicated service and proven results. It was his strong belief in my conviction that I was wrongfully terminated that tipped my decision. Throughout the process, through ...to resolution, Chris responded quickly to my inquiries until I understood the legal aspects of the matters at hand, and he leveraged my expertise of the subject matter and the other parties involved. When an unusual legal issue, unrelated to my termination, arose, outside of his primary expertise, he sought additional legal counsel to help both of us understand the situation. He delivered stellar support during the final phase of the resolution of the matter, demonstrating his strong passion and commitment to my case, knowing when to listen and knowing when to argue and fight for my cause. Because of his strong passion and championship, I was absolutely satisfied with the outcome and believe together we achieved justice for a clear case of wrongful termination.

Great Employment Attorney

Chris is an excellent employment attorney. He is knowledgable, experienced, and hard working. He worked to negotiate a settlement almost four times greater than the original offer made by my previous employer. I am very pleased with his work and will recommend him to anyone who has been wrongfully ...terminated. Chris will fight for you and see you are compensated fairly.

Stellar Attorney- look no further

Mr. Lenzo is an expert in his field, extremely knowledgeable, passionate with a down to earth personality. He guided me through the process, recommending best options. Experiencing unfair job termination and seeking fairness is not an easy one. Mr. Lenzo always had great faith in me and my case. He m...ade me feel confident-when my confidence was lacking. This was my first time working with an attorney and I had an excellent experience. I am forever grateful and highly recommend!

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.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
