Review Christopher Waters

Top professional in his field

In Rockland County, Mr. Waters has proven himself over and over again to be one of the top Attorneys. He is both professional and personable. He will fight for the best possible outcome, not just because that's his job, he really is a caring and kind person that shows true concern for the individual. You aren't just a file on his desk. He has long standing relationships with the district attorney office, and will go the extra mile to do right by his client. I know that through personal experience. I was referred to Mr. Waters by a friend of mine, and I am grateful for that.

Christopher Waters is an incredibly knowledgable and effective attorney. I have used Mr Waters service in my criminal case and the results of his work were far better than we even expected . He is very accommodating , prompt in all communication and kept me informed every step of the way.Throught the most difficult time in my life he made me feel valued ,respected and represented at fullest capacity. He provided not only legal support but was able to get me other professional services that I needed .I would be happy to recommend him to anyone needing professional defense attorney . Mr Waters uses his experience and expertise to fight for his client and always takes the extra step if needed. In addition to being a true legal professional he is also a wonderful caring human being who provides a constant support and individual approach for each of his clients.I can't find the words to describe how thankful and appreciative I am for all his hard work and dedication in my case.An outstanding attorney ....

In addition to providing sound legal advice over the last year, Chris successfully represented us in court several times regarding a complicated case related to an order of protection. Chris was always thorough and followed up to make sure that everything the judge had requested was being done. Eventually all of the original charges were dropped. He also recommended another attorney to assist with a marital issue. One suggestion for improvement would be to always send a short note to acknowledge receipt of an e-mail.

We hired Chris Water when my son was issued several tickets (drug possession, alcohol possession & parking) out of state. Chris explained thoroughly exactly how the process will work and what the probable outcome would be. We were scared and he made us feel comfortable. We hope to never need his services again, but highly recommend him.

After getting slammed with traffic tickets, I called Mr. Waters and not only did he help me get my driving privliges back, he got a majority of the tickets dismissed. All said and done I paid a fine with zero points.

Exceeded my expectations and is highly recommended

I was referred to Mr. Waters by a friend whom I trust for a DWI arrest that I got in Rockland County. Not knowing the first thing about the legal system, Mr. Waters explained every detail along the way of what I believe is a very complicated and nerve racking process. Mr. Waters was able to have all of my numerous charges reduced to non criminal offenses and I only had to pay some fines in the end. He was always a call or text away and never once did I feel that I did not know what was going on or what was happening. I would highly recommend Mr. Waters if you're facing any type of charges.
