Christopher R. Minelli

Mr. Minelli helped us on a dispute with the landlord whom we believed fail the work of maintenance of the apartment. He was firstly sympathetic enough to take our case and only charged a fair flat fee and then kept following on the case with considerate. He showed us how the legal procedure should be..., gave us clear instructions and also gave the landlord enough time to try to fix the problems. Even though there was still a disagreement left between the landlord and us, we could finally move on to a place that we believed was right for us. Thank you, Mr. Minelli.

I first first heard about Mr. Minelli while reading an article written about him concerning animal rights. This came two months after losing my beloved cat unexpectedly in the hands of my Veterinarian. The explanation I received as to the possible cause of his death did not sit well with me. I felt... in need of a professional opinion to determine if anyone was at fault. If so, I wanted to see some form of accountability. That's when I contacted Chris. He seemed to understand exactly where I was coming from, being an animal lover himself. Chris is a kind, thoughtful person with great moral values. He responded quickly every time I contacted him and did a very thorough job for me, utilizing his many resources. His highly motivated work ethic eventually led to an outcome I felt was quite appropriate giving me the peace of mind I was looking for. I am very greatful to have hired Chris.

I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Minelli respond to an ad I placed looking for an attorney to help my group establish a non-profit animal shelter. Upon our first coversation, I found Mr. Minelli to be down-to-earth, professional, honest, fair, and very knowledgeable. To my extreme surprise, he actu...ally seemed to CARE about what I wanted to accomplish. I have unfortunately had some less than good experiences with lawyers in my life, and honestly, I had planned to hire the first one that could manage to NOT treat me like an idiot if indeed such a person did exist. What I found in Mr. Minelli was like a breath of fresh air. Not only did he return all my calls and answer all of my questions every step of the way, but he supported me and was a friend to me at the same time. Case in point: Mr. Minelli attended numerous City Council meetings free of charge, simply to show support for our group in a time of need. I feel the importance of this kind of client-attorney relationship is very underestimated by many in the legal profession today. I feel that Mr. Minelli serves as an example of what a person should expect in an excellent attorney. Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Minelli, Iroquois County Animal Rescue has obtained its 501c 3 status, has purchased a permanent building, and is doing very well. I would recommend this attorney to anybody, and I would trust this fine person with my life.

While looking for an attorney I found a listing for Chris Minneli. I decided to email him to get a rough estimate of my costs. Chris was very prompt in responding back and explained everything to me in a language that I could understand. I decided to hire Chris' services and found him to be young and... energetic attorney. He got right work for me for a fee that was very, very reasonable. Once we appeared in court Chris continued to communicate everything to me in a way that I could understand my charges and my options of defense. Everything turned out MUCH better than I even imagined and I would use Chris again in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything Chris.
