I have known him for over 30 years as my lawyer, friend and as a patient. Although his specialty is criminal defense, I have used his services many times in real state, personal and business matters. He has never failed to take care of all issues and to protect my interests. I highly recommend him...he will not fail you.

I was taken to Chris's office directly from the County Correctional facility in Hudson County. My family had decided to go with him, and I was apprehensive in the beginning because I wasn't involved in the decision of which lawyer to go with. I had a pretty serious charge and was confused out of my mind. When I got to his office he was very straight-forward with me. From that first meeting I felt very comfortable with him. He was honest and thorough from the beginning. The case went on for over a year and each step of the way he was there guiding me. I was initially looking at a 20 year sentence, but when push came to shove, I received a flat sentence which enabled me to get ISP from the courts. He even helped me with the entire ISP process and even vouched for me in front of the ISP Judge Panel as to what type of individual I was. I strongly suggest going with Chris in any criminal case you may have. Although its been over a couple of years since all these things have happened, I figured it was necessary to post about him..

Heard about Mr. Patella through a colleague and a coworker and did not know what to expect. I was in a jam and did not know who to contact. BUT WOW, Mr. Patella is THE BEST!! He is professional, knowledgeable and just a great guy. He handled a domestic violence situation and while waiting to be called for trial - Mr. Patella was able to get me and my ex to discuss more than our divorce attorneys ever did in over a year. Mr. Patella doesn't even do matrimonial and did a better job than our matrimonial lawyers. I can't stress how strong Mr. Patella is in the legal world. He comes to court prepared, informed and handles criminal cases with the best of the best. I strongly encourage any person looking for an criminal attorney to see Mr. Patella.

Extremely aggressive when it comes to criminal defense, Talk about pulling a rabbit out of a hat . . . . Thats Mr. Patella , what you hope for most and dont expect- he pulls it off.
