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

He's just a regular guy.

I've read all these reviews and chris has been my lawyer for some time now. He has always represented me in a fair honest and reasonable manor. With that being said. I've always had a positive outcome in the end. Have I been upset and thought maybe he wasn't doing such a good job, yes. So I ca...lled him and expressed my concerns he always listened and we rerouted our plan. Sometimes you have to squeak to get the grease. We all have made mistakes, we all have "off days" we all have things in life that make us great, sometimes he might make a mistake, if it can be fixed, he will adress it. He cares about each of his cases equally even if one is a ticket and one is a life, bc it's all a reflection of his work and abilities and I don't believe we lose bc we want to or he loses cases bc he doesn't care. You win some, you lose some Thats life. You can't ALWAYS just sit back and think .Someone is going to fix everything for you and it's always gonna come out the way you want. You have to be involved no matter what the case big or small. Nobody is stopping you from being a better client and assisting on your own behalf. While your lawyer is doing all the hard work, we have the internet now. Sometimes there might be something you find that they miss. The end of the day when you hire them to represent you, you become a team. And you don't just throw ultimately your problem, your responsibility into somebody else's lap and then criticize them if you don't get the outcome that you want if you're not involved and paying attention I feel like. This is great advice. For anybody I feel like the more involved I became with my own cases, the more detailed questions I had, the more attention and care my case received. If I had a worry and I would call and talk to him about it, it kept me from worrying and I believe it made for overall a better experience and outcome. And at the end. Of the day, I really do believe that he has all his clients.Best interest in mind and it hurt.He's a good person.I've known him for a very long time.And I would highly recommend him to anyone but I would also Highly. Recommend everyone to to also be involved with what's going on to call and Check-in to do research. 2 heads are better than one, stay involved throughout the process ask better questions. I know one of the reviews called him the super lawyer which is great and again. I do think he's a pretty great guy but, We all can't be superman all the time. Great job Chris! You're not just a lawyer, but someone I'd consider a friend and someone I TRUST. And I have trust issues. -mic drop.

No Stars/He is a CRIMINAL himself

Steals retainer. Falsifies invoices. Pretends to do Caselaw research for a trial that he never intends to take his client through. Walks away when he criminally steals your money and your life. He should be in jail. Any other attorney who recommends him is a criminal also. Just watch. You will ...see his name in the news. He will go to Prison.

Excessive Retainer/Fails to Deliver

I agree with “stay away” review from 2018. His retainer fee is excessive because he claims he will need one year of fees for all that is required. Does literally nothing but filing paperwork. Zoom court appearances, while not coming through for me. Not easy to get in touch with and when asked about ...the disappearing retainer, he uses up more of it on nothing but time passing. He should be in need of a criminal lawyer.

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.
