Phenomenal Job Chris Corkadel

Chris has helped me more than I could have ever imagined. He has an incredible knowledge of the law and helped me through one of the hardest times in my life. He was prompt, kind, and ended up helping me get the best deal I could have possibly hoped for. He is a phenomenal lawyer that genuinely car...es about the well being of his clients.

Review of Christopher Corkadel and his Firm

Working with Christopher and his team was not only pleasant, but a necessity. They were able to assist me in presenting my case which resulted in a sentencing that was postiive. Their attention to every detail, timeliness in communications, and ability to be very flexible minimized the anxiety I fa...ced around the situation and resulted in a thorough and strong case to present which yielded an outcome beyond my expectations.

A lawyer who has always been there when we needed him

Chris has been our lawyer since 2011. He helped us with a dispute between us and our wedding venue after we were married. He did a great job for us. It was always very clear through Chris' advice and strategy that our best interest was his only motivation. Since then we have opened a small bu...siness and Chris has been really great to work with on all that starting and maintaing a business entails. We refer anyone we know looking for legal advice or services the Chris because he has proven to be trustworthy, responsive, extremely knowledgable of the law, and insightful about business as well. He has always done a great job of keeping us informed about what's going on, when, why, and how. Chris always puts in the extra effort , and has proven to continually exceed our expectations.

Competent, compassionate, and responsive attorney

I was involved in an injury causing auto accident. Chris made me feel confident that my case was being handled properly. He was knowledgeable, professional, and straightforward with me through every step of the process. I would absolutely utilize Chris and his team if such unfortunate circumstances a...rose again!
