Highly Recommend

Christopher was amazing to me. I cannot tell you how fearful and overwhelmed I felt with my situation. He listened, he was reassuring and very quick with helping me. Christopher was available to answer all questions I had. I highly recommend contacting him.

I wish there were more than 5 stars!!!

Chris was referred by a very close friend that told me he was extremely cautious when recommending someone but knew from the first day he met Chris that he would be extremely successful. Chris took the time to explore all the details of my case in a very careful and thoughtful manner. I in turn made ...sure that I was as honest in the events leading to my employer dispute. He went above and beyond my expectations and did not ask for an exorbitant retainer like many attorneys would do in a case like mine. We both made sure that we were respectful of each other as well as my prior firm. The whole process has lead to an outcome that is beneficial to all parties involved. Fair and Just. What else could anyone ask for when working with an attorney in an employer/employee dispute. At the end of the day I wish my former employer success in managing my former clients, and know that Chris will continue to serve his clients and have incredible success as well. I am so lucky to have Chris as my attorney!!!

Highly Recommend

I was impressed with Christopher. His honesty is so refreshing. His advice was spot on and when we first consulted him he told us he would research our situation and did so extensively . He made himself available for all my phone calls and I truly felt he had our best interest at heart.

Chris is the one lawyer you want by your side

Chris took my case when every one else rejected it. Christopher is by far the best lawyer I have had...and believe me I have had a lots of them. Christ dedicated, understanding, and Goes above and beyond. No one has ever fought for me like Christ has We just won our case last week . With tears... ears dropping on my face I felt like " thank you" was not enough to to express my gratitude. Christ is a human being first and foremost. And will go beyond . I'm in awe at his humility, his compassionate heart and dedication to doing what is right. He has given me hope in this jungle called society. He truly loves his job and does it with excellence. Believe me you want Christopher berlingierie on your side. He will not let you down. A true angel . Thank you for being you. For your dedication. You really are a God sent. You inspired me Christ and I'm in awe. Ami
