Thoroughly Impressed

My first experience shopping for a home was a particularly frustrating one. The lender repeatedly failed to file paperwork in time to meet deadlines, forgot to take care of crucial parts of the process, and was often difficult to get in contact with. Because of this the closing date was pushed back... several times. Throughout this ordeal Chris remained involved and proactive. He sent multiple letters to the lender and the sellers, coordinated several reschedulings, and drafted or reviewed multiple versions of the contract. He was always available and responsive, even in the evenings and on weekends. I was, frankly, amazed by the amount of work he put into my case for what he charged. It was by far the best money I spent throughout the entire home-buying process, and definitely my best experience with any kind of attorney to date. I cannot recommend Chris highly enough.

Excellent Legal Consultant & Representative

Chris Lufrano was recommended to me by a mutual friend when I needed advice about intellectual property and trademarking. Although Chris is a seasoned attorney in matters of securities and real estate, he certainly went the extra mile to do the relevant research necessary to address my concerns, and ...communicate them to me in both a timely manner and in language I could clearly understand. He obviously appreciates a challenge and prides himself on conducting the proper due diligence and making carefully considered recommendations to his clients. I am indebted to Chris for his service and I can only hope that all interactions I have with attorneys in the future will be as pleasant and productive. Thank you!
