When my marriage fell apart I expected the worst. I own a small business that I started as a teenager and have ran for over 25 years and have done very well for myself financially. Unfortunately I have not always been the best with women and against my better judgement I married a younger woman that I knew was more interested in my lifestyle than in me. Well when it ended she and her lawyer told me that would take everything. Shut down my business and take half my assets. I was devastated. My business has been my passion and not being able to bear children it is my legacy. Well to my amazement Chris was able to somehow turn my ex-wife and her money hungry lawyer into REASONABLE people and he reached an actual fair settlement that allowed me to keep ownership of my business. Chris has been a godsend and I will be forever grateful of his services. Always returned my calls. Always straight with me. Fantastic lawyer.

I got into a bit of legal trouble with my ex wife and she charged me with assault and endangering a child. Accusations were bogus and Mr. Bagnato proved to the jury and judge I was innocent. Now I have full custody of my kids thanks to this man. Great lawyer will work very hard for you! Highly recommend!!

Chris was thorough in explaining the process and options available to me. I was anxious about hiring an out of state attorney, I live in MA, and I would need to rely on him and trust him completely. He was available as needed. When I went to the office I was introduced to all the staff and so when I called from MA I knew who I was talking to. I felt like I was always a priority. The case took a year from open to close which considering the other party filed certain setbacks, they all worked to get me through it. His paralegal Theresa is an amazing asset as well. She followed through each step necessary after the court dates, gave me updates and put me at ease.

Christopher Bagnato helped me very efficiently with a complicated and difficult divorce. He is most knowledgeable about divorce law. Importantly, he was friendly and sympathetic in all our dealings.

I had a rather unique case regarding stolen property. Chris took the case and was 100% confident in our success from the beginning. This was reassuring. He was aggressive, supportive, and very professional. He had a realistic approach and offered good advice throughout our time working together. I'd certainly recommend him to others.

I was in a bad spot when I reached out to Chris and asked for his help. He took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense to someone who is not a lawyer. He was honest about everything and kept me informed every step of the way. All around amazing experience with a genuine honest hardworking gentleman.

Been working for and with lawyers for over 15 years. I have seen the good the bad and the ugly in lawyers. Christopher is an excellent attorney. When it came time to hire an attorney out of state for 3 different cases we came across Christopher and we were not disappointed. He is trust worthy, reliable, dependable, knowledgable, compassionate. Christopher responds quickly to any questions and unexpected events that arise. We can text, call, or email and he will always respond in a timely manner. He is an asset to any firm. If you are in need of lawyer you will not be disappointed. His work is worth paying for.

I have used Mr. Bagnato on many occasions in all matters of law and would recommend him to anyone. He is excellent in handling things in a timely manner and getting the right results. Hopefully I don't need him in the future but if I do need anything done which requires an attorney, I will not hesitate to use him.

Christopher did a fantastic job with my criminal case in New Jersey. He came with me to court and got the lead charge dismissed! I always was there when I needed to talk to him and knew the law like the back of his hands. He pushed the Prosecutor to do exactly what we wanted. He is also bilingual in Spanish and known within the Latino Community. I would recommend him anytime to anyone. Christopher hizo un excelente trabajo con mi caso criminal en Nueva Jersey. El asistio a la corte conmigo y logro que los cargos sean revocados. El siempre estuvo presente cuando mas lo necesitaba. El tiene un extenso conocimiento legal. El fue muy activo en mi caso y logro presionar al abogado acusador en defensa mia. El es fluido en el idioma Espanol lo que me ayudo a no tener problemas de comunicacion y tambien conoce muy bien la la comunidad hispana y sus necesidades. No tengo duda que Christopher es un gran abogado y lo recomiendo totalmente.
