Christopher Jude Pelli

I don't even know where to begin to explain how grateful we are we hired Chris Pelli. My husband & i went to several consultations with different attorneys trying to find one that we felt that really understood our case, one who showed compassion, drive, professionalism, knowledge, & we were blessed ...to find Chris he treated with the utmost respect, he showed full interest in our case. At all times we felt very confident in our decision to hire Chris, we didn’t any promises, he simply shared his knowledge & we felt like he was the right person to take on our case! & time after time he showed us that we had made the right decision. I would absolutely recommend Chris to anyone who’s looking for an attorney in his field!

This man is true . He is true to his promises, and true to his word . He will not lie to you . He will not misguide you. He loves what he does to make a living . However , with Chris it’s more than a living . If any one is reading this you may be currently thinking to yourself “this guy didn’t get m...e off “ “hey I served time with this guy as my lawyer” well yeah . He isn’t God , but he will represent you to the fullest extent he can master as your lawyer . This man has been in my life since I was 18 years old , I am now 30 . From speeding tickets to prison time , no matter how innocent or guilty I was , this man has had my best interest in his view . He isn’t like the other lawyers who take your money and listen to the other side . He will listen to you , and he will fight for you . Mr. Pelli has been my lawyer since the day my family retained him 13 years Ago , and I took over since . He is my first thought when I see those blue and red lights in my mirror BUT not because i feel as if he can work miracules but rather because I know he will fight his best fight proving every angle of the truth . I have recommended Mr. Pelli in my past and I will continue to do so.

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, s...kills 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!!

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 seve...ral 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!!!

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 a...ds. 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 !
