Chris Cassar

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!!!

He is the REAL DEAL

I hired Mr. Cassar for 3 different issues and he came through in ALL 3 that where divorce, DWI and a home closing. I went through 2 other lawyer for the divorce that cost me thousands and couldn't do what he did in just under 3 months. If a close one has and issue that requires legal counsel my first... and only choice would be this firm!

Super Star Chris Cassar !!! :) Thank you Chris :)

Christopher Cassar is truly a wonderful, exceptional, kind, caring, patient, trustworthy, superb lawyer who fights for Justice for his clients and is always there for his clients. Chris won my Case for me at Traffic Court! :) I am forever thankful & grateful. He worked so hard to get me Justice! He... is amazing. :) My rights were so badly violated at a Traffic Court where I was forced to run an entire trial myself, me-a civilian, non lawyer. I was never treated so badly in my life. What may have been a joke to my ex-lawyer Jason & to this Traffic Court, has left me completely traumatized to the point that I thought God Forbid I would have to go to jail if I lost a 3 point ticket. By the Grace of God, I thankfully met Chris Cassar and he truly saved me from so much pain and trauma. I knew when I hired Chris, my worries with this ticket were over. I knew in my heart I could trust him completely & I didn't have to be concerned that he would ever turn against me in any way as what happened with Jason. Chris is so understanding of my trauma & he is extremely comforting. He put me at ease every time I was upset & was there for me as I cried out of fear/trauma several times. There are not enough words to describe my gratitude to Chris. Chris is 110% honest all the time. He means what he says & does what he says. He took care of my Case as he said he would & he was sweet enough to even say if God Forbid I lost, he would do the Appeal for no charge. He is the most altruistic kind lawyer & person that I know. Chris worked out an extremely reasonable payment plan with me and I am so grateful. He even gave me a discounted price on my Case. He is such an amazing person and lawyer. Chris is the most caring lawyer who truly does care about Justice and about his Clients. Chris restored my faith in lawyers, after I was hurt previously in the worst way by my ex lawyer Jason and I thought I couldn't trust anymore. Chris changed all that for me, just by being the wonderful honest lawyer and person he is. Chris took care of everything on my Case, kept me informed all the way, kept me away from Traffic Court so I wouldn't have to be in the place that has traumatized me & I know he truly cares. I am so honored to be his Client & I would never feel any different. He never disappointed me, he did the opposite-he exceeded all my expectations and hopes. I wish I had known him years ago. I am so thankful and grateful to know him now. It is the best feeling in the world that not only did he get me Justice but more importantly to me-the best feeling in the world is that my faith in lawyers has been restored and I can trust again. It is the most amazing feeling to have a lawyer I know I can trust and who I know in my heart hands down will always do right by me, as he has and as I know he always will. Thank you so much Chris. This means the world to me because I was treated so wrongly by my previous lawyer and by this Traffic Court, and you made it all right. You fixed the damage that was done to me. Thank you so much for treating me with so much respect and for doing right by me always. Thank you for protecting me from the place that gives me nightmares. Thank you for having me as your client. I am truly HONORED and excited to be on the next part of this journey with you. Thank you with all of my heart. You are one in a Million Chris. THANK YOU SO MUCH :)

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.

  • 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.
