Christopher Jude Pelli

He was very fast in responding and he felt honest with his advice! Very great professional!!

I just left the Courthouse relieved and very grateful because the disposition of my case was beyond what I could have ever hoped for. I was facing a very serious charge and I admit I was worried, but my decision to go with Chris Pelli was one of the best decisions I've ever made. His confidence, skills and expertise in Criminal Law got me the results I needed. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a top-notch lawyer that will give them the best defense possible! On a more personal note, the last time I got in trouble, I went with a court-appointed attorney-what a mistake! Not only did that guy not fight for me, but he talked me into taking a plea which resulted in my getting pretty much the maximum sentence. This time around however, I paid for a real attorney and let me tell you Chris was affordable and well worth every dime. Several lawyers had been reccommended to me but of the 3 or 4 I called, only Chris called me back almost immediately. I got nothing but answering machines for all the others. Even before I paid him a retainer, Chris took the time to thoroughly inquire about the particulars of my arrest, asked me about myself and answered all my questions. He didn't blow smoke up my *** instead he explained to me what I was facing and how he could help me. His personality is warm, compassionate and empathetic, but more importantly he is a sharp, enthusiastic and extremely competent litigator. In researching him, I learned that his colleagues and other members of the Bar hold him in very high regard -and justifiably so. His record is impressive-even for murder cases. He has a very good rapport with local Judges and DA's and believe me, that's very important. Instead of my case dragging out for months and racking up legal fees, Chris's shrewd negotiating skills resulted in my walking out a free woman on the day of my arraignment having only to pay a small fine. He told me he was prepared for trial if that's what I wanted and if it had gone that far, I have no doubt that he would have been a bulldog in court. I recommend Mr. Pelli to anyone who finds himself in serious trouble because he's definitely the professional you want next to you when facing a judge. Thanks to him, I can move on with my life and stay out of trouble-period. I have no doubt that Chris will continue to build upon his great reputation and help many more people like myself in the future. Thanks again Chris!!

Mr. Pelli was very helpful during my case and I now have a great burden lifted off of my shoulders. He was very professional and fully explained the case to me so I was aware of my situation. I highly recommend him to anybody looking for legal help.

Chris is the epitome of what all lawyers should emulate. I was in high-speed motorcycle accident in mid July 2016. A few days after the accident, I contacted Chris about representing me. He was honest and concise about what to expect during the process. It was not long into our initial sit down that I noticed Chris' moral compass was set for due north. I could go on for days about Chris' character, but it will be evident to you within minutes of speaking to him. The truth is, Chris produces results. My accident was July 16, 2016. A large settlement check was issued to me on November 17, 2016. The best part you ask? No court. No hearings. No testifying. No back and forth. Chris literally handled everything. He always returned my calls within 24 hours. Chris is determined to get you what you deserve. Do yourself a favor. Choose Chris Pelli.

Christopher Pelli is an outstanding professional and that's an understatement! I contacted Chris after being accused of a horrible crime I did not commit. He responded within 30 minutes of my call and was very polite and gave me excellent legal advice. I hired him and will never regret it. My charges were dismissed today and I thank him for obtaining justice for my family and me. The best lawyer in town!!

Christopher Pelli presented himself in a very professional, yet welcoming manner! He was able to resolve my issue, along with a very reasonable outcome. I now feel a big weight lifted off my shoulders. Highly recommend him, thank you!

Highly recommended, resolved any issues I had for me quickly and very nice, understanding and helpful. Also helped me to obtain a reasonable outcome when in a tough spot. Thank you for your help and services it is much appreciated.

I was needing help understanding what I should do in a legal situation I was involved in. Christopher Jude Pelli went well above and beyond helping me understand everything that was going on, calling me back with updates as well as txing me to keep me informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone looking to be represented with the utmost care and attention to detail.

So I got myself in a mess of trouble, auo and driving without an antilock device. I was on probation at the time so was looking at doing time. Chris took on my case for a very reasonable amount and I really needed to stall court for 3 months so I could be released from probation. I accidentally missed my court date and court putout warrants. Chris worked it out so I got let off r.o.r. and paid bail. At court he pretty much got my charges dropped. I was looking at several hundred in fines and 1-3 years in jail. I only got 3 weekends and court surcharges. All over. Chris Pelli saved my life.

When I recently found myself charged with a crime and needing a lawyer, I was beside myself. I worked for a couple lawyers to put myself through college and I know first hand that most of them live up to the bad reputations that lawyers in general have. But NOT Chris Pelli. He was professional, courteous, and I genuinely felt that he cared. He worked hard to get a satisfactory outcome for me. I am VERY happy with my choice to hire Chris. I hope to never again need an attorney, but if I do, I would not hesitate to hire him. I also would highly recommend him to any of my friends and family.

First let me start by saying NO I'm not a bad driver, and NO I don't have any DWI's, I just sometimes forget to check my mail which led me to missing a court date..Or 2or 3 for speeding tickets..I sought out to find a lawyer and ended up getting one of the best. I had a suspended license with several tickets not only did he get my suspension lifted Chris went to court for me, I wasn't able to get the time off from work so instead of rescheduling and putting it off,he took care of everything called me with the details and within a short time(very short) I was back to being a licensed driver. I would definitely recommend Chris, he is professional & he knows his sh×t!!!!! That's why I say Chris is the BEST LAWYER EVER!!!

I contacted Chris about 2 weeks after I made the biggest mistake of my life. It took me so long to contact a lawyer because I kept hoping it was all a very bad dream. I've never had a run in with the law before. My anxiety was through the roof. When I consulted with Chris, I felt a weight of my shoulder. Chris helped me get the charge dismissed, so it wouldn't affect my future or any career opportunities. If I ever need to hire another attorney again, Chris would be my first choice. Thank you for everything, Chris!!

I feel so bad for the late review... About a year and a half ago I woke up to find myself in Oneida County Jail. I was staying at the Turning Stone and took my normal dose of Ambien as well as a new script given to me by the VA. Apparently I slept walk and damaged a plastic camera dome and a bedside light. I soon found out they claimed my damages were $280, which is felony criminal mischief. They were holding me on $20000/ 40000 bail because I was from PA! My finance retained Chris, who immediately met me in jail and made sure I was seen ASAP for a bond reduction. They lowered it to $2000, the cost of extradition and I went home that day. In the end, he got me a plea bargain for a misdemeanor charge and a $500 fine. I recommend Chris to anyone who needs intelligent, competent representation. If I could give him 100 stars I would.

Chris Pelli is a life saver. I made a mistake that probably most people do everyday to help out a family member or a friend. I contacted Chris Pelli for help with my charges. I'd never been in serious trouble before but this matter was a serious one. From the start Chris Pelli helped! The day I hired him my stress was thru the roof! Chris put my mind at ease right away!! Hands down a life saver! If you need a great lawyer def contact Chris Pelli. One more thing anytime I needed to get ahold of Chris I could!!

As a current court employee working and residing in another county, I may know who to hire locally, but had no idea for Oneida county. I reached out to peers in Oneida County Courts and Chris was highly recommended. Working in the court system, you learn to not retain the cheapest or pick from tv ads. You want the best for your loved ones at a reasonable fee who is respected by his peers in the Courts, DA's office and Judges. That is when the best outcome can be reached. He handled my son's matter efficiently and helped my son receive a disposition that did not affect his career choices. If Chris worked in our county, he'd be recommended to everyone, but for those who need a competent, knowledgeable, respected and personable attorney in the Utica, Oneida area, please consider him. You will be taken care of and know that he cares about his clients immediately upon speaking with him and that he will do his very best representing you or your loved one who needs legal representation. I will honestly state that after initially talking with him, I immediately with great confidence, retained him to represent my son, as I knew based on my experience with criminal attorneys that my son was in good hands and that was a huge sigh of relief that any parent would want for their child. I was not wrong and he exceeded our expectations. Highly and confidently recommending to anyone who needs a competent, knowledgeable, respected and yet a caring and personable attorney !
