Instant Stress Relief!
Chris was exceptionally responsive and helpful during a stressful time. My elderly mother is struggling with a problematic tenant to the point of it impacting her health. I made the initial inquiry on a holiday weekend and Chris responded outside of ordinary business hours. He carved out time to talk with her immediately, and helped calm and clear her mind for an upcoming hearing. His expertise is matched by his personable nature. He was straight-forward, super-knowledgeable and now the family knows where we will turn for any future legal issue. Excellent! Thank you Chris!

Wouldn’t have wanted anyone else
I can’t thank you enough for all the help you’ve given me through this stressful time. You made a very difficult situation bearable and I appreciate you for all you did to help not only me but my whole family; we are all thankful. I would definitely use his expertise again and would recommend it to others.

Dui 2nd offence
Chris is a great lawyer. He is well worth the money and very good at what he does and doesnt judge your charges you take to him. I am very happy with the out come of my court sentancing and he hit alot of good key points about me to the judge, listens to details and both sides of the story and clears up alot of confusion in questions asked. I would highly recommend him. God for bid i need a lawyer again i know who to call!

Excellent Lawyer
Chris handled the closing on the sale of my house. He kept in constant communication every step of the way. He made everything as convenient and simple as possible for me (including the signing of all the documents).

Effective & Detailed attorney
I hired Atty Szewczyk to handle a tenant appeal for eviction..... Chris explained in detail how things would unfold and possible "curves in the road" .... everything went as he explained and I was kept informed every step of the way. Very satisfied with the work of Atty Szewczyk and would definitely use if need should arise in the future. Would absolutely have no problem recommending Atty Szewczyk to someone if I was asked for my honest opinion.

I hired Attorney Szewczyk for a criminal matter. He was through and explained everything. I could not have asked for better services! He helped us achieve a favorable result, and I couldn't be happier.

Amazing Lawyer
Always goes above and beyond. I hired Christopher for an eviction and he has always made himself available for all of my questions along the way. I look forward to working with Christopher for many years to come.

Excellent and Professional
I hired Mr.Szewczyks for a felony, and several misdemeanors. His price was very fair. He was always professional, reassuring and effective. As a first time offender I was denied ARD, but he worked for me to be reconsidered. I will be getting a second chance at my life and a brand new start. Without him, I could have lost my career. I am forever grateful.

Great hire
Reached out for a consultation on my dui case and after explaining everything in a way that I was able to understand I felt comfortable to pick him to represent me. This was a great decision as he not only reassured me that it was going to be okay he got me into the ARD program. I would highly recommend his services for anyone looking for representation.

Professional and dedicated
I hired Chris as my lawyer for a dui. He was both professional and dedicated in serving me. He was very respectful, honest, and made me feel comfortable about what to expect/look forward to with my case. He worked diligently to provide for me what I needed to know in addition to going out of his way providing me information while "off the clock." I would recommend Chris to both family members and friends as I hold that much trust within him. He is very personable and motivated, which made it much easier regarding the negative situation I was going through.

Honest, very knowledgeable, down to earth
I was having issues collecting rent from my tenant. After I tried magistrate court on my own and failed, I seeked legal adivce from Chris. This was the first time in my life that I would need a lawyer for anything, so I had no idea what to expect. He met me on short notice for the consultation - I asked to meet him in less than 2 hours. I was very grateful for him shuffling his schedule to meet. His knowledge on the process from start to finish was top notch. He provided excellent coaching, documents to serve tenant, and answered every single email I sent within a few hours. I do not know what the outcome would have been if I did not hire him, but with his legal counsel I was able to get what was owed to me. I could not be happier with hiring him. Thank you, Chris!

An Honorable Man.
Although I did not use his services, Christopher was kind enough in our consultation to provide me with the realistic scenario that would've come had I fought a traffic ticket. One of the few lawyers who looks out for the best interests of the client, despite there being no payday. Would highly recommend.

Christopher Szewczyk - Review
Chris was empathetic to my legal situation. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the procedures that would be followed in my case, he explained them to me, and gae me every possible option, guiding me into what he felt would be suit my case. Chris provided a great deal of detail and support before and during my trial. I never once doubted his judgment or his advice. He is a wonderful communicator and very down to earth. Chris is of the utmost professional, courteous, and dedicated in his field of expertise.
