I was born and raised on Long Island and first came to the Southern Tier in 1992 when I attended Binghamton University. After graduating I attended St. John's University School of Law. After receiving my Juris Doctorate and passing the NY State Bar I began working as an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn where I represented the People of Kings County for 5 1/2 years.

I have since opened my own firm with 2 other partners and have found this to be a wonderful place to practice law and to live with my wife and 2 sons.

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 case moves forward. I'm glad to have him as my Lawyer and would hire him again if I'm in need of legal help.

Great experience working with Christopher Grace. Extremely responsive, well-informed, and attentive to my personal needs.

This was a difficult time and having someone I could trust on my side helped to ease the burden.

"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. 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."
