This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Please look around for you retain this law firm.

I've been having some unpleasant experiences with this law firm. They are actively seeking new clients, but when it comes time to complete their office work, they always claim to be "swamped." The staff is impolite and aggressive, often escalating negative situations and even hanging up on me. While ...some individuals may have a positive experience, I recommend looking around before using this law firm.

I would not recommend this law firm.

Please, for your sake, find another lawyer. Many firms genuinely care about people as human beings. This isn't one of them.

Christina Sammartino

My rating of excellent is based on my experience with Christina from day one through completion of work. I am 100% happy and satisfied with every aspect of my experience. My questions and concerns were always addressed in a timely fashion. Christina was also very thorough with her responses. She wa...s very pleasant to work with. Embarking on the task of estate planning with my Mom was not something I was looking forward to but, in all honestly, it was fairly painless and fast in terms of the execution of it all. I recommend Christina wholeheartedly! Thank you.

Great job

Helped me close on my house which ran into probate issue. Christina handled all the paperwork and issues smoothly and all I had to do was show up at the closing. The stress level on my end was non existent. Highly recommended.
