I regret the day I hired this man!

Like so many others on here have said, it’s best to avoid hiring Chris Minnillo. I had an extremely negative experience with Chris that led to me calling the police on him. I don’t want to get into details right now as it’s a pending matter. But I too experienced many of the things others online are ...complaining about with Chris Minnillo. He is a bad human being.

Minnillo is a POS

The title says it all. Christopher Minnillo is a huge POS (piece of sh*t.) If you want to waste your money and get a bad result on your case, then this is your guy.

Time to hang it up Chris.

This guy is so old, he still uses an AOL email account for his business email. Chris seemed nice at first but after a few weeks into my case he appeared disengaged and uninterested in my case. He appeared to me to be frail in health and not very mentally sharp. Maybe he was a good attorney many years... ago but from what I saw, I think it’s time for him to hang up his shingle and retire. I fired him and hired another attorney and I’m glad I did because the difference between him and Chris was night & day.

I would not recommend hiring Minnillo!

I do not recommend hiring Chris Minnillo. I felt he was at the point in his career & life where he should probably retire and this was about 2-3 years ago. He would at times be very aggressive and then at times be very passive almost as if he didn’t care. He told me things about my divorce case that... turned out to be wrong or untrue. I thought I got a okay result in my divorce case but I’m now taking my ex-wife back to court for a modification and 3 attorneys I talked to when looking to hire one for the new case all said I should have gotten much more than what I got in my divorce case. When I told them Minnillo was my previous divorce attorney some of the other attorneys rolled their eyes and said in a negative tone that yeah they know all about him. There is just something that is off with Chris Minnillo. Then I came on here and read the reviews before I posted my own review of Minnillo and his responses to his other client’s reviews on here is strange and unprofessional to say the least.

I do NOT recommend Christopher Minnillo!!!

Mr. Minnillo wasted my time and my money. He didn’t get me anything I asked for in the divorce case. My ex-husbands attorney was better prepared and much more calm than Minnillo was both inside and outside the courtroom. Mr. Minnillo charged me over $25,000 and I got almost nothing and the divorce ca...se was a pretty basic type of case. This guy still uses an AOL e-mail account if you want to know how up to date he is with technology, which should have been a huge red flag for me but I ignored it. I definitely made a huge mistake hiring this so called attorney. I do not recommend Christopher Minnillo at all.
