Excellent Mediator

I would highly recommend Cris Pastore for your mediation needs. He made a very difficult process tolerable. He is very professional, calm and extremely organized. He was thorough and comprehensive in explaining the mediation and divorce process, and was quick to respond to any questions or issues.... The process was so much less stressful than it could have been because of Cris’s guidance and knowledge. I would recommend him to any couple going through a divorce.

Great Mediator!

"Cris, thank you for the help with the divorce. It was not a process I ever saw for myself but it happened and you helped make it a lot easier than I thought it would have been. For that I want to say thank you very much, I know dealing with people going through this can be a pain in the a** for a lo...t of reasons. But you were very helpful and more than that to me you were always available and respectful. I appreciated that very much."

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...ith a wealth of experience and is able to communicate this in a no-nonsense manner that I really appreciated.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Feb 12

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."

Family lawyer | Mar 16

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
