Excellent Attorney

Mr. Calabrese is a conscientious hard working attorney who stands behind his clients and achieves novel and creative legal solutions. He puts me at ease when discussing any legal matter with him and he is prompt in returning any inquiries. He has a wide range of legal knowledge which enables him to p...rovide broader insights in solving any particular legal challenge. He also employs excellent knowledgeable staff, including his paralegal and nurse consultant. The support staff remain informed on every detail of the cases he handles which is especially helpful when Mr. Calabrese is unavailable during Court appointments or attending client meetings. I would give Mr. Calabrese high ratings on his organizational skills and abilities and wish to express the highest of accolades for his professionalism, trustworthiness and legal knowledge. I am glad I met Mr. Calabrese and am particularly grateful for all that he has done in helping me and my family with all of our legal needs.

Excellent Lawyer

I've been in business for 30 years and have had numerous lawyers. Chris is clearly TOP NOTCH! He is incredibly smart, has the utmost integrity, and is very responsive. Most importantly though, is that he will ALWAYS have your back.
