I was extremely fortunate to have Christopher DeFrancesco as the lead trial attorney on my defense case. From the beginning, Chris made me feel comfortable and assembled a crack team of expert witnesses. Chris thoroughly prepared me for the process and my testimony. From the moment Chris spoke to the judge and jury, I knew I was in great hands.  He masterfully shredded the plaintiff, dissected the plaintiff’s shady allegations,  and disarmed the plaintiff’s witnesses and we WON! It was a six day trial, but it only took a few minutes for the jury to deliberate. Anyone and everyone should want Chris DeFrancesco on their team!
