Christopher C. Brocato is a former Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney. He served in the District Court, Domestic Violence, Case Advisory and Major Crime Bureaus.  In February of 2008, Mr. Brocato left the District Attorney’s Office and with Douglas P. Byrne formed the law firm of Brocato and Byrne, L.L.P.   Mr. Brocato has handled thousands of criminal matters including numerous high profile cases. His practice has a strong emphasis on aggressive criminal defense and is committed to achieving the best possible outcome on each and every case he handles. In 2010, Mr. Brocato expanded his practice to include personal injury and is committed to obtaining the highest possible verdict or settlement for his clients. Mr. Brocato is dedicated to client satisfaction, and to this end he believes this can only be achieved when clients have an open line of communication to their attorney. This includes giving his clients ample time to explain their particular situation, explain their concerns and having a clear understanding on what a successful outcome is to his clients.

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 any other attorney as much as I trust him. 5 stars in my book..

He went above and beyond.
From the moment I first met with Chris, he was there for me. Due to my disease, I made some serious mistakes that I am not proud of to this day. I even have family members that have written me off, (my fault) but not my lawyer. He took my situation personally and fought for me getting me help and not a jail cell. I told two other friends about Chris who had legal problems and both thanked me.

To whom ever reads this, I would like to say, Chris & Doug, were straight forward with me, Felt they were not about the money but concerned with their client being me. As I did interview a few attorneys, I chose Chris and he delievered big time, not going into details, lets just say, I could not be more happier then I am now. Thanks a lot Guys you two are the best.

Happy Client
Mr. Brocato far exceeded my expectations. I met with a several other attornies before deciding to hire Mr. Brocato for my case and he was the only one to treat me with an honest down to earth approach I respected. He kept it real and told me what to expect. In the end his results far exceeded my imagination for the out come. I owe my freedom to his efforts. Thanks Chris

Trustworthy attorney
Chris did not give in to the parole department who wanted to send my son to prison for a year for a violation. Chris was willing to take it to a hearing and held out until parole was willing to work with him.

Awful Experience
Arrogant, abusive, and an overall nightmare to work with. Would not recommend.
Posted by anonymous | March 1, 2015
former client in case involving drug sale and distribution
I wish I would of listed to my gut which was telling me that I'd be better off rerepresenting myself. No where near aggressive enough. A gentleman with an empathetic demeanor, this he absolutely is. But a lawyer that fights for you fearlessly?- not even remotely. He goes with the flow and seems so chummy with the ADA , I sometimes thought he forgot he no longer is on their payroll. Disappointed- and that is absolutely putting it as nice as possible.
