Represented National Collegiate Student Loan Lawsuits

Chris Thornhill handled all 5 of my National Collegiate Student Loan Trust lawsuits. All 5 lawsuits totaled almost $100k. Never did I expect that all 5 cases would either be dismissed or acquitted, but they were! Chris was very straight forward on what the outcomes could be, but also extremely con...fident that we could beat these cases. We were informed on everything, every step of the way. I was scared to death going into this whole ordeal, not knowing what my future looked like financially….WHAT a huge relief this has been! If you need representation for Private Student Loan debt/ lawsuits, Chris Thornhill is your attorney!!

Helped With Debt Collectors & Creditor Lawsuits

We engaged Chris to resolve some collections issues we were experiencing including multiple lawsuits that had been filed against us. Chris was incredible and once we had retained his services he went to work quickly. We never had to speak to anyone concerning the matters except Chris. He was always a... friendly voice letting us know things would be OK and that he would be fighting on our behalf. He got incredible results in our cases and worked with us all the way. I cannot recall a better experience engaging legal help than working with Chris Thornhill. He works very hard for his clients. Highly recommend Chris !

My experience with Chris @ the Mastriani Lawfirm

Chris walked me through the entire process, explaining everything along the way. He was very patient and professional all along the way. His knowledge in this area is impeccable. I certainly couldn't have gotten through this process without Chris and the team at the Mastriani Law firm. I've reco...mmended Chris to friends and will continue to do so in the future. Great guys!

Debt Lawsuit Settlement

Chris handled a lawsuit for us involving an old debt we thought was eliminated. He did an excellent job in getting it settled for far less than originally owed. I would recommend Chris for anyone dealing with debt issues.

Best decision I could have made...

Mr. Thornhill was very straight forward, and informative throughout every step in the legal process. He is a very down to earth person, and his fees were some what reasonable considering the circumstances. Mr. Thornhill was able to get my 50k Student Loan debt dismissed, and I am really glad I chose ...him to represent my mom and I.

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."
