Posted by George | October 19, 2019 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very Attentive To Detail, Great Listener, Good Rapport

Mr. Cristopher Langone was very helpful and attentive regarding my problem. He asked very good questions that helped me see what the other side might potentially have on me. We spoke for well over an hour and not once did I feel the need to rush or like his time is running out. Was very cordial and r...espectful. Would recommend!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Lawyer, Very Satisfied

Through Mr. Langone I was able to bring a class A misdemeanor down to a petty crime with only a fee for the court of ~$250 and 40 hours of community service. Everyone else who I know who has been to court for the same problem as i have has had to do at least a few sessions of driving school and has p...aid usually twice as much. He knew how to handle the case and through his expertise I was able to get over it with minimal difficulty. Highly recommended

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.
