Christopher York

I hired Christopher York as my attorney and I couldn't have been happier with this decision. I was facing an aggravated DWI with the potential for very severe consequences. Chris was very honest, helping me prepare myself mentally with what I could be facing. He was quick to answer phone calls and wa...s very supportive throughout the entire process. He was reassuring but didn't ever give me false hope. I plead guilty to a misdemeanor with a DWI. I could have been facing jail time and possibly a felony with my history. I can't tell you how relieved I was with this outcome. I was able to keep my job and continue with my life. I would recommend Christopher York to anyone looking legal advisement.

I hired Mr. York after getting charged with an Aggravated DWI with what really was an exorbitant BAC. During my initial consultation, Chris calmed my wife and me down and assured he would do all he could for my case. The only promise he made was that he would continue to work until he was satisfied... with the outcome. That is what Chris did exactly. For a reasonable flat fee, he worked long and hard for the most favorable outcome. Any questions I had he immediately answered by phone. He was regularly in touch about the proceedings. He also got me involved in some programs that have helped me considerably. He definitely had my best interests at heart. His connections and relationships within the judicial system are widespread, which paid off greatly at the final disposition. He got my charges reduced to a traffic violation...a far cry from the felony it could have been. I could not recommend anyone more highly as the area's most knowledgeable attorney than Chris York. My peace of mind was worth our effort.

Chris York is a true professional that I would recommend to anyone looking for representation. I recently was charged with DUI with a refusal. Given the charges, and my employer requiring my ability to drive in NY, this situation could have easily ended my employment. I had originally consulted ...with another lawyer who met with me during my most vulnerable hours following my arrest. At the end of what I believed to be a free consultation, I was presented with the fact that his services cost over $500/hr and would be expected to paid prior to leaving the office. Needless to say this made me extremely skeptical of him and lawyers in general. I decided to get a second opinion from Chris York, and what a great decision it was! Chris understood the impact the charges could have on my career and family as well. His calm demeanor immediately put me at ease. He took an extended time to answer the countless questions I had, and definitely answered some of the same questions multiple times. He was very responsive to all calls, and also very connected within the court which I believe led to an expeditious conclusion. Chris under promised, but over delivered. He was able to have my charges plead down from a misdemeanor to an infraction and had me back on the road with a conditional license in just 5 weeks. Chris is an honest, trustworthy, responsive individual who made a very difficult situation manageable. Look no further for another lawyer.

Before hiring Mr. York, I had never been in trouble with the law. I was clueless as to where I should start with hiring a lawyer. So, I did what ever other clueless first offender would do...I chose him because of his name. I figured, "York, in New York? He's bound to be good." Call it luck, or fa...te, or a major blessing, but I couldn't have chosen a better attorney. Mr. York was efficient and persistent. He was honest, and vocal about the status of my case. He made me feel comfortable and at ease through the whole process. Mr. York won't stop until he's satisfied with the outcome. He went to fight for me because he believed in me. He was always available to talk or answer my questions and if he missed my call he would ring me back within the hour. Upon my request, he was also willing to speak to my family with regards to my case. He is compassionate and knows how to be malleable with each client depending on their needs. His sensitivity toward my case was perfectly balanced by his erudite knowledge of New York State Law. I was charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor for possession of narcotics and after 6 months of court everything was dropped to a violation--which is no more significant than a parking ticket. The reason it took 6 months is because of my travel schedule. I walked (maybe danced a little) away a free woman. I also walked away a changed woman, inspired to avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong time and to avoid surrounding myself around illegal substances at all costs. Mr. York was also helpful in counseling me to make better choices and encouraged me to focus on making myself a better person, an upstanding citizen. It was clear that his clients aren't just another notch on his belt for victories in the court of law, but he makes it his mission to assist people in transforming their lives for the greater good. Mr. York is so well connected in the Putnam county area and is well respected by every judge, clerk, courthouse, district attorney, assistant district attorney, sheriff, and secretary he comes into contact with. He knows everyone in the field on a first name basis and I've even witnessed a phone call with a courthouse operator who told him of her daughter getting married. People in Brewster, New York, and the Southeast Courthouse love and trust Mr. York because he genuinely cares. He's been sincerely building these relationships for over 3 decades and there's not a soul in that area that doesn't want to be his friend. Mr. York is the Patron Saint of Defense Attorneys. I would highly recommend Christopher York to anyone who is facing charges in his area. No crime is too big for him to handle. He enabled me to trust him implicitly. He is an excellent attorney. I wish I could hire Mr. York as my lawyer for every aspect of my life. But alas, although he could...he is destined to serve those in his area who have fallen into similarly unfortunate, criminal situations like me. May the York be with you.

Where do we even begin to thank Chris York for the amazing work he did. Our daughter was charged with a serious drug charge. We were frantic parents from out of state and he held our hand through the whole process and made us feel at ease. He was able to negotiate an amazing deal and now my daught...er has her life back. We are beyond grateful for his services. Here is why you want Chris York as your attorney. With his background as DA he knows all the key players in the court system and understands the court “politics”. Most importantly he has a well-established relationship with the DA’s office so he can effectively negotiate. On a personal level I felt that he really cared and was a great communicator. We really knew that we hired the best attorney when another defense attorney he was working closely with in my daughter’s case highly complimented Chris in his ability to negotiate such an incredible deal for all the girls in involved in the drug charge. We highly recommend Chris York. Hands down he is the best!
