Employment Case

I hired Christopher through a web search. I was looking for an attorney to help me with an employment related case. I needed someone to negotiate on my behalf with my employer in regards to a separation agreement. I was very happy with how my lawyer handled the situation. He was very responsive throu...ghout the process and made me feel like he definitely had my best interest in mind. I would definitely use his services in the future should I need them.

Received Chris's information through a friend, was having problems with my then employer. Chris was very diligent with handling my case, even though it was a small matter. Always kept me updated on the course of negotiations and was extremely detailed in how everything was being handled, which gave m...e piece of mind.

Couldn't Be Better

I was seeking a lawyer to help me with a traffic violation, and among the referrals I contacted, Christopher was the quickest to respond. Personable, professional and engaged in our discussion, I sensed a good vibe about him and gave him my full trust and leeway to handle this issue, and he didn't le...t me down. I can't thank Christopher enough and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking consultation or representation.

Compliments

Mr. Berlingieri was a very approachable lawyer . I explain to him what was going on at work , how I was not being treated fairly and that I was affected by sexual harassment within the work . He took the proper procedure to adress the country club I was a former employee at . He wrote them the letter... of a settlement request and spoke to the clubs lawyer . He was realistic in the outcome of the settlement and gave me great legal advice. Mr.Berlingieri made sure to keep me updated at all times of the process and was very accommodating to my needs , as to where to meet and how I wanted the situation to go. All in all I would definitely recommend him to anyone as a go to lawyer . Nothing but great words and praise to Mr. Berlingieri from my part . Was very luck to have him as my lawyer !

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.
