Vehicle stuck in Police Impound

Let me start off by saying how TRANSPARENT, HONEST and ON POINT my attorney Chris Cassar and his team are. My vehicle was impounded by the Police because the police claimed that my vehicle was involved with leaving the scene of an accident. Chris Cassar and his amazing team was not only able to get ...my vehicle released from the Police impound, but they kept me in the loop throughout this nightmare of a case. I never one time had to chase Chris Cassar nor his team down. Attorney Chris Cassar is brilliant and has unbelievable connections within the judicial system. I WILL RECOMMEND ATTORNEY CHRIS CASSAR TO ANYONE WHOM IS SEARCHING FOR A CLEAN, HONEST & INTERGRAL ATTORNEY, whom will fight for you tooth and nail. I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH CHRIS CASSAR & TEAM, -Mac

What a joke! Please find another lawyer to represent you

This guy defended a friend on a pretty bad case. Was a total joke in the courtroom with his made for tv antics, questioning didn't make sense, even the judge was questioning it even laughing a bit at this clown. Got my boy sentenced to the max! Please, stay away from this joke of a lawyer. His law li...cense should def be revoked, the other reviews are not lying.

What a joke. Hired him to vacate a guilty plea. Did nothing. Then he called me to get my car back, more money. Never got my car back. I live near Greenport. Out here it’s who you know not what you know. Stay away from Cassar!!!

An outstanding attorney

My daughter was arrested when she was 18 years old and it was a devastating experience for both her and our family. The representation my daughter received from Christopher Cassar and the helpful support from his office personnel was amazing!!! We as a family knew how her mistakes would follow her... for the rest of her life, but because of Mr. Cassar's representation and knowledge of how a criminal record could destroy her future he fought for her every step of the way!!! I am proud to say my daughter is now running her own business, is successful and making wonderful choices and I feel it is all due to her seeing how hard her attorney fought to give her this opportunity and she wasn't going to disappoint him as he never disappointed my daughter or our family. I am so very thankful and pleased with the outcome of my daughter's charges and it was all because of her attorney's knowledge and determination to settle for nothing but what would be the best for my daughter and her future. Mr. Cassar did an amazing job went over and beyond what I feel any attorney would or could have ever done.
