Lee Thompson, Estate planning Attorney on Jan 20, 2019
Relationship: Other

I have to give Christina a big thumbs up. I was just researching a legal issue online and came across her very thoughtful answer on Avvo, which gave me my answer. Before, I was getting so much conflicting info, most making no sense, I'd suggest going to her to review estate planning.

Lawyer Philip J. Rizzuto

Philip Rizzuto, Estate planning Attorney on May 30, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Ms. Panzarella on several matters through out the years. She is extremely knowledgeable, well prepared and organized. She is a zealous advocate on behalf of her clients on every matter she handles. More importantly, she cares about her clients and goes above and beyond what most attorneys do. I have also referred many matters to Ms. Panzarella throughout the years. She has represented my clients diligently and expeditiously every time. She is dedicated to her clients and works extremely hard to do the best for she can which always yields outstanding results. Not only is she a terrific attorney,, she is personable and a pleasure to deal with.

Lawyer Michael S. Haber

Michael Haber, Probate Attorney on Feb 10, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I endorse this lawyer. Christina is a smart, affable, talented, honest, and experienced lawyer who (perhaps unfortunately) is a tough negotiator. I say "unfortunately" because I am currently negotiating against her. Regardless of the way the matter works out, I have respect for her and for the way in which she approaches legal matters. She clearly is a zealous advocate for her clients, and is tireless in pursuing her client's interests.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Christina is a very intelligent and caring attorney who is able to quickly analyze issues and arrive at the correct way to proceed. She is a zealous advocate for her clients and has a broad and deep understanding of numerous areas of the law. She is very adept at empathizing with her clients, putting them at ease and making them confident that their issue is in very capable hands. Whenever I run into a legal issue and need the advice of another attorney, Christina is usually the first person I contact and I would, and have referred friends and family to her. They always tell me how patient, caring, and helpful she was.
