“This man is respected, well-known and extremely experienced in the court. His reputation has validity and is solid with his 30 of prosecution experience.”
I had the best outcome and experience possible with Mr. Lamiero. This man is respected, well-known and extremely experienced in the court. His reputation has validity and is solid with his 25 years of prosecution experience, he knew exactly what to prepare for my criminal case. He is professional, sharply dressed and his legal etiquette in the office and court is on point. He listened to me, addressed my desires and needs for my case. His perspectives were enlightening while being patient and kind when he explained the legalities associated with my case. His guidance and advice gave me the best outcome. When he spoke and plead my cause to the Judge, the Judge even stated to the courtroom that when Mr. Lamiero speaks it is salient and granted the request. You'd think this rockstar attorney would be pretentious with attitude - he is the opposite. He is honest, knowledgeable, ethical, confident and very polite. I will tell you that the prosecuting District Attorney knew they were defeated with Mr. Lamiero at my side. Period. I highly recommend Mr. Lamiero if you want someone to fight with you and for you. I can't give enough stars or accolades for his legal precision. Mr. Lamiero is quality and worth every dollar.

“You will not regret having Chris on your side. He will fight for you.”
You will not regret having Chris on your side. He will fight for you. I was amazed when I saw him schooling the prosecutors in court and telling the judge "My client is done!" He then looked at me and said, "Let's go."

“This is a law office that cares more about their clients than their paychecks.”
Mr. Lamiero represented my daughter regarding domestic battery. He was not only extremely experienced, knowlegeable, and professional, but very compassionate and caring. The District Attorney did not charge her and she did not have to go to court. He was with her every step of the way and is even following up with her to make sure things are going well. He kept her dad and I informed at all times of what was happening. His work is truly from his heart.
I called his secretary Rose way to often and some of my questions were repetitive. She always had a smile in her voice and let me know she was more than happy to help. At a very dark time in our lives her smile and caring truly brought some sunshine into our lives. This is a law office that cares more about their clients than their paychecks.

- Patricia
“He resolved my case quickly and reduced my charge.”
Christopher Lamiero stepped in when the public defender was not communicating with a member of my family and not delivering information on the "discovery" that we had repeatedly requested and been promised for a DUI charge. After we called Lamiero's office, we received a courteous and prompt reply, had a meeting where all options were discussed, and resolved the case quickly with a wet-reckless plead. Lamiero is an affordable, full-service attorney, who takes the time to communicate everything you need to know about your case and will go the distance for you.

- Meera
“He's a bulldog and tough!”
Chris brings a lot of experience to his cases. His insight from his time with the DA's office aids him in better predicting the possible paths. He is very direct and doesn't sugar coat anything, which I personally love especially for a situation like these matters. He's a bulldog and tough when needed, but knows when the better course is discretion. I would highly recommend him to anyone and anyone who uses him should very much consider his words on these matters, if you like the words or not. And let's not forget Ms. Rose, she is very efficient and knowledgeable in her own right. This duo is a great team.
