ineffective

No integrity. Will sell you out. 25 years he got my friend. He failed to safe guard his rights. Be careful with this one. He feeds on your weakness

100% trustworthy I highly recommend

Had 30+ year old moving violation pop up while out of state on a workation. Christopher C Brocato, Esq. & crew handled everything, not easy during a pandemic but they assured me it would get cleaned up as fast as possible & they were true to their word. Renewed faith in humanity

Satisfied Client

Christopher Brocato is the most honest and compassionate attorney I know. He goes over and beyond expectations for all his clients no matter how difficult the matter is. He has been there for my family and has fought vigorously to make sure my son had the best possible outcome. I would not trust a...ny other attorney as much as I trust him. 5 stars in my book..

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
