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 !

Bilingual Detail Oriented, Excellent attorney at labor law!

We met with Christopher today and we believe that he has a lot of potential to represent us. He is right to the point, ambitious and well detail oriented. He is bilingual and made things easier for us to understand our rights under the law. We are moving forward in retaining him to represent us.

Results Driven

Chris encompasses the exact qualities that I was looking for in a lawyer: 1. Goal and objective oriented 2. Results driven 3. Respectful of my time Chris took the time to listen and to understand the circumstances and the outcome that I was seeking. He carefully explained the options for moving... forward and how he could help. Chris was respectful of my time. He was professional, capable, knowledgeable and his persistence made sure that we moved forward with every conversation. I recommend him highly.

Attorney Christopher Berlingieri Reveals Truth

Attorney Christopher J. Berlingieri helped me tremendously in a tricky case involving employment law and other matters. I received notice of a change to my status that Mr. Berlingieri proved was falsified by upper level management, and in fact the latter status was not present at that place of work.... This revealed hard evidence of upper level management bullying. Additionally, Mr. Berlingieri is a great choice because of his consistent correspondence with his clients. He is interested in honestly helping his clients, knowing that emotions are a part of the experience. I hope that all of you will have as positive an experience and outcome with Mr. Berlingieri as have I. It was a pleasure to work with him. Best regards, Dr. AJA
