A excellent lawyer and mediator
I needed Cris Pastore's mediation services in 2011. Cris was really a good mediator in walking both my spouse and I through what it would take for a successful mediation and he was immediately available when we hit bumps in the road that threatened to derail the process. He is an excellent lawyer w...
"Cris truly cares about his clients. He understands both the legal and emotional aspects of divorce. He works hard to help make the process as civil as it can be and helps his clients look forward to the future."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have been on the opposing side of Chris on multiple occasions over 15 years. Chris has always been prepared, knowledgeable and an effective advocate for his clients. He is extremely learned in his field. He also has that unique quality of being zealous and yet balancing it with the practicality of the situation at hand. He is well respected in the legal community given his years of experience and accomplishment. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation and anyone who retained him would be lucky to have him as their attorney."
"I have worked with many family law attorneys over the 25 years I have been in practice and regard Cris as one of the top family mediation lawyers in Philadelphia and the surrounding counties. While the dissolution of a marriage can often be acrimonious, Cris is an expert at mediating challenging situations with his clients in order to achieve a fair and equitable outcome for both parties. Cris strongly values his relationship with his clients along with the divorce mediation process. He has a natural ability to listen and understand the real concerns of clients, and structure property settlements which are designed to achieve a mutually agreeable and reasonable outcome. Over the years, I have recommended that clients seek the advice and counsel of Cris in situations where his knowledge and expertise can be of value and feedback which I have received continues to be excellent."
"Cris is one of the most highly respected attorney and mediator in his field. He approaches all of his cases with legal expertise, high ethical standards and empathy and compassion for all concerned in the family law process. He makes me proud to be a lawyer and honored to be one of his colleagues. I consider it a great privilege to be part of his team."
"Cris Pastore is a wonderful attorney and I wish there were more like him in our profession. He is highly ethical and passionate about his work as a Divorce Mediator. His knowledge and dedication to the mediation process has made him a leader in his field."
"I've known Cris for a number of years. He is dedicated to helping families resolve their legal issues in an amicable and collaborative manner. With substantial legal knowledge, experience and highly effective mediation skills, Cris is able to develop creative solutions to difficult issues that may arise. He is highly ethical, caring and responsive to his clients' needs."
"After having the privilege of working with Cris, I can say that if I could take one fellow lawyer into a family law and/or hostage situation, it would be Cris. I first met Cris when I returned to the office distressed after my first court appearance as a newly barred attorney. My fellow attorneys sent me directly to Cris—who had become the unofficial mentor in the office for not only his knowledge but also his natural teaching ability—and helped me through my first case. Cris's experience, skill and thoroughness is blended with a kind, calm and rational approach. He evaluates cases not just on pure legal grounds "to win" but looks at what is the best ultimate path for his clients to maintain their finances, life and emerge from rough spots in life as unscathed as possible."
