Excellent

Going through this painful process took alot out of me, but I received good support & advice from Mr. Cristiano and his staff. They are all wonderful. I would definitely refer Mr. Cristiano and his team to anyone who needs a great lawyer to represent them.

Formidable

Mr. Cristiano was the antidote to an ugly part of my life. I actually enoyed the process, and more importantly the results! No BS, he knows the process, well worth the time and expense. More importantly, gave great counsel and a commanding presence, understanding the situation and able to anticipat...e and counter with the best of them!

Child custody

Mr. Cristiano has represented me with a recurring child custody case for the past 4 years. He is very knowledgable and professional as is the entire staff at his practice. I would highly recommend him and have done so already.

You cannot find a better lawyer Eugene is really really great at what he does and to top it off he has the nicest heart and the highest set of morals you could possibly ask for.

Excellent!!!!

I first went to Gene to consult about my case regarding a modification of child custody, and from the beginning he was honest with me and told me I didn't need him but as I went into details he seems to really see in needed his help. I Am happy with the results I have now. Don't want to go into muc...h details but he has done an amazing job helping me with my case, I am grateful to my sister for recommending me to go see him. Thank u Gene for getting me temporary 100% custody of my children.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
