Great to work with
Chris DiSchino and his team have been so integral in starting my small business, it is going to be a struggle for me to even attempt to put into words how grateful I am for all their guidance, assistance, referrals and hand holding that was necessary for my wife and me to get Float Plus up and running in what has been such a difficult year for small businesses. They were there for us at every turn and went above and beyond for us in all of the ways they could have. We wouldn't be open today if it weren't for them. Now that is just a review of their law firm. Chris, I have known for twenty years, and he is one of the most honest and kind people I have ever met. It would be worth hiring him just to have him your life, add on top of that his knowledge of the law and his work ethic, It's a no-brainer. If you're starting a small business, DiSchino and Schamy is who you hire.

Knowledgable and Quick to Respond
Mr. DiSchino has provided me with counsel on several different businesses over the past few years and I keep coming back to him because he is the best. He and his team are quick to respond and help answer all my business-related questions, whether its about contracts, compliance, or starting a new business. I highly recommend this team if you want a thorough attorney for your business.

DiSchino has your back
DiSchino represented us in a beautifully orchestrated merger. On more than one occasion he caught some risky language that could have exposed us down the line to unwanted liability. The transaction was swift, and DiSchino’s diligence was the main catalyst that kept the whole process running like clockwork. He also helped us earn a favorable settlement in an IP dispute! Would highly recommend DiSchino
