About Louis
Biography
Hiring an attorney is a stressful event. When you are confronted with the prospect of debilitating injuries to you or a loved one, you need the comfort of knowing you will receive the attention of an attorney recognized by lawyers and judges alike as a premier trial attorney in the region. Once I have agreed to assist you in the handling of your case, I am the attorney that will be sitting next to you in the courtroom if the case requires trial. Some law firms will assign cases to attorneys with barely a year or two of experience. I am selective about the cases I handle because I give each matter the individual attention it deserves. Please feel free to contact me. Emails can usually be returned within the hour. Lou Cristo

A very capable gentleman
Attorney Cristo met all expectations. He brought a very difficult case to a more than satisfactory conclusion and never looked to cut corners.
