Excellent attorney

Great experience working with Christopher Grace. Extremely responsive, well-informed, and attentive to my personal needs. My questions were always answered and I felt I had more control over my situation. Helpful and empathetic support staff. This was a difficult time and having someone I could t...rust on my side helped to ease the burden.

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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
