Out Of State Client

Christopher William Niro and his law firm were eager to help me finally bring year intellectual property process to closure. As I was an out-of-state client, he made every effort to keep me involved and apprised of many, many, many filings. That in itself, wasn’t easy! It was reassuring to know that ...this law firm took my predicament seriously and made every effort to resolve what had been a long ordeal. With Christopher William Niro dedication, I was finally able to stabilize my business of years of legal harassment.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The best business decision I ever made.

I hired the Niro law group in mid 2015 and it was a real lifesaver for my business. They won for me 2 cases and their fee was liable and reasonable. I use them now for all my intellectual property issues that I have and I am extremely happy with the presentation that I am getting and what I like the... must is that when they don't think that I have a chance of winning they tell me and they are honest with me and they would not let me go in loosing battle. I recommended them to several friends and I get amazing feedback from them as well and they are all very thankful for my recommendation. If you want a honest and a productive law firm that will answer your phone calls and reply to your emails and will charge you a reasonable fee then the Niro law group is a great choice

Corporate Legal Support

Chris provides excellent corporate legal support to my small business as we continue to grow and are faced with new challenges. He has been instrumental in providing excellent review, recommended changes, and providing content for our employee agreements, consulting agreements, and contracts/subcont...racts. He turns our documents around quickly and with great input. His reviews and feedback have enabled us to 'tighten up' our agreements to avoid future litigation and ambiguity to protect our employees and company. We don't have internal corporate counsel due to our size, but Chris has essentially served in that capacity for us and has protected our interest and future as a result of his actions. His breadth and depth of experience and insight is remarkable and has been a great asset to our ability and success at operating internationally in defense markets around the globe- even in conflict areas.

  • 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.
