Excellent Attorney!

Chris is an amazing attorney. He is always available and easy to get in contact with. He took my case and got me a settlement larger than I could have ever expected. I recommend him without reservation.

Fierce, detail oriented, thorough litigator that will fight for you!

Chris had been my lawyer for 2 years. I had gotten into a little trouble more than what I had wanted. Chris promised me that he would try everything in his power to get me the best possible outcome on a criminal case to which I’d been in trouble for in the past. He worked tirelessly on my case and ...got me a great disposition to which I was able to continue to sustain my occupation, continue to have the ability to put food on the table by any method. He got me through a speedy and fair trial in a local jurisdiction and the outcome was better than I had hoped or anticipated as he worked with the assistant district attorney in favor of a positive disposition of my case. He called me back quickly and emailed me all the details in due time. Never did I feel I wasn’t important to him which really put me at ease and made things much smoother. He always treated me with respect and always kept me aprised of all things that were happening when he had information on them. This is the type of person you want to have on your side as a lawyer. Thank you Chris for everything!

Thorough, accessible, effective, and down to earth Lawyer

Had a personal injury case that Chris handled and Mr Ragucci was positive , encouraging and very informative throughout the whole process. The case was settled in my favor; and even though the defendant didn't have adequate auto Insurance, Chris bargained for as much as could be awarded as possible. ...I felt truly confident he tried to do the best he could for my case.

Great Attorney

I had a consultation with Chris regarding a personal legal matter. He took the time to meet with me and answer all of my questions, without rushing me out of his office. I had met with numerous other attorneys prior to meeting with Chris, and you could tell he was not like the rest. It is nice to kno...w that if I need to pursue my matter further, I have someone willing to listen and fight for me.
