Ethical, Effective, Excellent

I retained Chris for a medical malpractice claim. His office was friendly and set me up for an appointment quickly. I met with Chris and he discussed my case with me. He immediately started working on my case. The results were good and better than I had expected. Chris kept me updated throughou...t my case. I never had to worry about anything. He just handled it, did what he needed to do and did a great job. I highly recommend Chris Mellino. On a scale of 1 - 10 - he is a 10!

Phenomenal Lawyer!

Mr. Mellino is not only a phenomenal attorney, but he is also a very compassionate person. He genuinely cares about his clients and I have never worked with such a knowledgeable, intelligent, caring, hardworking lawyer as Mr. Mellino. His expertise in his field of law and years of experience make ...him the perfect lawyer. He was always sympathetic to my needs as well as my families needs and always kept me informed. I would whole heartedly recommend Mr. Mellino and his lawfirm.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
