This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

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.

Thank God I picked Chris Waters. The results Chris got are mind blowing. He was on top of every aspect of my ...case and life. He was very pro-active with the DA's office and getting my life back in order. He handle everything at exactly the right time. Everything was very planned out and the out come was amazing.

Excellent attorney and true professional

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 ....

Thorough, helpful, and personal concern for his clients!

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. Event...ually 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.

Excellent Lawyer

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 s...ervices again, but highly recommend him.
