Great at his job

I had a debt that had been haunting me for years. I had tried unsuccessfully to take care of the debt myself several times. Each time I was told they were unwilling to work with me unless I had the full payment. It eventually turned in to a judgement and the fees and interest began to accumulate. Ent...er Chris Thornhill and Mastriani Law Firm. Chris was very welcoming on our first meeting and made me feel comfortable. Chris was not only able to get the plaintiff to work with me, but he was able to settle for ~%30. This was done in less than a week. I am extremely pleased with the service I received and would definitely use Chris again if I ever need to.

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!!!

95% of my debt completely erased!

Due to my unfortunate circumstances in the 2008 Real Estate market I hired Mastriani Law Firm because I had a massive amount of debt. I heard (from to other Law Firms) that they were the best. Chris Thornhill was honest, extremely informative, helpful, and excellent! John Mastriani was brilliant in t...he court room! Chris and John informed me of what was possible and if I chose to dispute the multiple cases against me and that there was a good chance, not a guarantee, but a good chance we could win. I had been through the ringer! I was tired. I was depressed. I couldn't sleep at night and I was stressed out. After years of worrying Mastriani Law Firm took care of it all and erased $240,000. of debt! Unbelievable, I am ecstatic! I would highly recommend hiring Mastriani Law Firm.

Credit settlement

Mr. Thornhill is a knowledgeable lawyer that help me with a credit lawsuit satisfactorily. The process was quick, he was informing me all time and giving constant updates. In the matter of a couple months he was able to sign with the creditors a very good settlement. I am very pleased with his servic...e.

Excellent Attorney

We were pursued by another law office representing a collection office. My wife and I represented ourselves and won but we are not legal experts and failed to file proper documentation leaving the door open for further legal actions. We went to Victor Mastriani for help and got the best possible ou...tcome for us. I am highly pleased with the hard work and never again will we try to represent ourselves because we have a super law firm to represent us. You would be wise to call them if you need help too.

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"

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
