Chris was hired for a real estate transaction that had been nothing but problems. His passion for his work is untouchable. He got us our dream home and walked us through every situation to make sure we made the right choices for us.

Client review for Christopher D Grace

Chris has been my lawyer in divorce proceedings for awhile now and has been very supportive and helpful in dealing with a significant other who has been doing nothing but trying to make my life miserable. He and his staff have answered any questions I have had and made me feel very confident as my ca...se moves forward. I'm glad to have him as my Lawyer and would hire him again if I'm in need of legal help.

He is honest and determined, and fights hard for his clients. Chris took the time to consider our case from several perspec...tives, making sure that we understood all the possible outcomes and how that impacted our options. He is caring and professional, dedicated and intelligent. Chris commits himself to excellence in action.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Chris Grace, Esq. since 2012. Mr. Grace defended many of the DWI cases that I prosecuted as a former assistant district attorney. Mr. Grace was great to work with, and always treated me with respect. He always worked tirelessly for his clients. Mr. Grace never failed to put his extensive knowledge of criminal law and specifically DWI law to defend his clients to the utmost of his ability, and was successful in getting his clients the best resolutions possible. If you are facing a DWI matter, Mr. Grace is the ideal DWI defense attorney for your needs."

"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Chris since he first came to Binghamton to Practice Law. I tied many criminal cases against him. He is an excellent attorney and one of the most professional attorneys I have practiced with."

"I endorse this lawyer. We crossed paths via charity work, and I have found that Chris is exceptionally skilled as an attorney and sees subtle facets of issues that most don't. I rely on him as a sounding board, because doing so makes me a better lawyer and a better human. In a profession where many are focused only on their own success, Chris is, by contrast, very generous with his knowledge and assistance, and I will remember that about him long after we have both retired. If you have the opportunity to work with Chris in any fashion, I wholeheartedly encourage you to do so."

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.
