Two Cases....Could not have asked for anything more!!!!

All we can say is wow. My Wife and I have used Mr. Mastriani's services for two creditor lawsuits. They worked beyond our expectations, handled everything as professionally as possible, and got us the best possible outcome. His practice is pure miracle workers. If I had to sum up our experiences in t...wo words, I would say "Legal Ninja's." Could not be happier!!! Sure hope we don't have to use these services again, but if we do, I would not hesitate to call them again!!!

A good family man, who has his head squarely on his shoulders, and has his priorities and responsibilities in order...

I like Chris. Chris is a calm-natured, family man who has a cool head on his shoulders, and lets you know, despite his deceivingly young looks, talks you through with whatever it is he will plan for the next plan of attack. And if you're not sure about what it is he is doing, go ahead and ask and h...e will explain it to you, as much as he thinks you need to know or worry about. The rest, he will take care of himself and let you know, ahead of time, what it is he is going to do on your behalf. He will also let you know, whichever way the end result occurs, what will be the next plan of attack and then still let you be the one to decide what to do next. If your not sure, he will also let you take time to decide w/o putting you in the hotseat and under pressure to decide what to do next. In the end, he is very knowledgeable about the different courts and how to proceed on the next best course of action for you always.

Well done!

Chris was very knowledgeable and gave me all the information I needed in order to make good decisions moving forward in my suit. He and his staff are dedicated professionals who went above and beyond and handled all situations that arose with grace and dignity. I would highly recommend Chris and tha...nk him and Alex for their hard work and the ultimate successful outcome.

Sets the bar for Debt Settlement Representation

I have worked with Chris Thornhill for several years now and send all my clients who are in need of a debt settlement attorney to the Mastriani Law Firm. I have found Chris to be an outstanding attorney who not only zealously represents the interests of his clients, but takes the time to really under...stand and guide his clients through the nightmare of protracted litigation. He, along with John Mastriani, have proven to be an exceptional team of attorneys and I highly recommend them.

Debt settlement lawyer | Jun 13

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Christopher Thornhill has all that it takes to be an outstanding lawyer. He has the intelligence and the discipline to excel at any task. When this is coupled with the values he has learned from his family you have everything that the term lawyer should personify. Chris is compassionate for others. He deeply cares about his work product. It is a rare combination when one has all the mental tools, the physical skills to work hard and a strong moral fiber such as Chris has. He works hard. Stays late often times devoting extra hours to a matter, without expecting payment from the client, to get it right. He has empathy for the clients and puts himself in their shoes. Although well educated and articulate he also has the ability to explain the law in layman's terms to ensure that the client understands. As a father with two adorable infant daughters. Chrs, as takes great pride in them and his sense of responsibility is exemplified with his demeanor of integrity"

"I have known Chris for several years. Chris is one of the most intelligent and articulate individuals you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Chris exudes the type of class and professionalism every lawyer should strive to equal. Every time I have had the opportunity to watch Chris in the courtroom, he has been incredibly successful as he speaks from a position of knowledge and confidence. I have recommended Chris to several friends and family members when they encountered a debt issue. All have returned speaking nothing but praise for the work he has done. I would feel incredibly safe entrusting my legal matters to Chris as I know him to be an exceptional lawyer."
