Mr. Desimone provided very professional, astute and patient representation for my situation. He helped bring about a resolution that I didn't even realize was possible but was well within my rights. Very thankful that he was recommended to me and will be sure to call on him again if need be. Highly recommend his services.

Chris assisted me from start to finish, explaining complex aspects as well as being patient to understand my overall goal. I would highly recommend Chris as a knowledgeable and professional business attorney.

I recently took a chance on Chris DeSimone to assist me with negotiating a lease as a prospective tenant looking to rent space in a commercial building. The lease as 36 pages and included a personal guarantee. I was very overwhelmed by it all to say the least. As it turns out, Chris represents several landlords and knows the ins and outs of this law extremely well. We agreed on a VERY reasonable rate for the entire process from start to finish, which was surprise #1 for me. Surprise #2 was the speed and turnaround time with which Chris did his work. It was truly amazing! Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, was surprise #3. He successfully negotiated several key items including the personal guarantee going away after two years, prevailing party paying for legal fees and not just me, and several other VERY important safeguards to help me limit my risk. He was able to do this by leveraging his extensive experience in this space and knowing where landlords might make concessions and where they won't. I highly recommend Chris! I can't say that enough. You will be pleasantly surprised by his results and speed. He even made my realtor's short list for attorney referrals and my realtor has been in the local industry for over 25 years. He is a true gem!

Chris advised us on the acquisition of a small house cleaning business. He was super-responsive throughout the transaction and earned our trust and confidence. By way of constructive feedback, there were instances where Chris was not as forthcoming as desired with the practical aspects of his advice based on his experience. I would recommend Chris for others pursuing business acquisitions and will continue to lean on Chris for my business legal needs going forward.

I have been working with Chris and his firm for over 9 years on everything from standard business incorporation, re-seller & employment agreement preparation, tradename registration through complex multi-class operating agreement preparation and representation in several M&A transactions. Chris is a creative problem solver with excellent knowledge and a superb eye for detail ensuring my current and future interests are protected. He has made himself available time and time again working under tight deadlines which speaks to his dedication and commitment to client satisfaction. Chris DeSimone is a professional, extremely capable attorney and I highly recommend him for any legal needs.

I found Chris's firm through searches on the internet and put in a call to his firm and Chris was assigned as the lawyer to help us with our initial need for a Property Lease Review. We had a challenging case whereby multiple parties, multiple rounds of reviews and a lot of collaboration were involved between the Broker, Management Company and hired contractor. Initially, we were unsure if we should work with Chris because he was one of the more junior partners for the Gross law firm. But after reviewing Chris's Education background, coming from a great solid school (my family's alma mater), I decided to take the chance to work with Chris and I'm glad I did. He proved to be very competent, capable, detailed oriented, timely and driven to his client's success. Chris was always accessible during our crucial negotiation periods and when I needed counsel outside. He did not nickel and dime his service but was upfront and professional regarding his times and fees. In the past, we have not had great experiences with highly reputable lawyers racking up bills and providing little services. Chris did not come with a tremendous amount of years of experience as of yet. But he proved his value immediately and was worth every dollar for us. He has earned my trust and I feel confident with Chris's representation, I am protected from legal actions. We have many more business opportunities for which we will be working with Chris on in the future. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Valued and Results-oriented Lawyer to add to their team.

Chris DeSimone has helped me with all of my small business needs for the last 10 years. He's easy to reach, competent and always does a great job.

I haired Christopher DeSimone to review a commercial lease for a restaurant in Fauquier county VA- After working with other attorneys in the past I had a set of expectations when he was hired, he raised the bar. I was amazed how responsive he was, promptly returned all called and all e-mails. When he got information I was immediately informed. This guy is a winner- I highly recommend him.

We were in a tough situation with a client, and needed representation in Virginia. Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with, and priced quite fairly. We're used to high priced Silicon Valley legal -- and Chris was right there in terms of quality, knowledge, and general advice. We would definitely work with Chris and his team again, and would recommend them to anyone. In the end, Chris helped us settle with the client, without having to go to court. He was definitely looking out for our best interests, and my company appreciates that immensely.

Mr. DeSimone has helped us with two situations. First: Our ex-son-in-law owed us a large sum of money, which he refused to pay. He claimed it was a gift. It was difficult to prove, but Chris sorted through a lot of emails and reviewed the history and proved that it was indeed a loan. We did recuperate the money. During that time, we spoke with Chris very often. He always returned our calls and was very prompt about writing letters to the other lawyer. What a great person to work with! Recently, we had a real estate boundary issue and contacted Chris. He spent a good amount of time explaining the legal ramifications of a potential case and steered us in the right direction, even though it meant that we didn't need to hire him. If you need a lawyer that is honest, knowledgeable, and sees the big picture, you cannot go wrong with Chris. Very smart, efficient and personable.

Very trustworthy and responsive. When need something completed immediately, makes the effort to get it done. Overall, Mr. DeSimone and his law firm provide great work for the company I work for.

Chris has been corporate counsel for my medical practice for the past 5 years and has been highly responsive and thorough in his knowledge, research, and execution of a variety of contracts, business related litigation issues and general corporate legal management. He has always been available and eager to complete assignments in a timely yet comprehensive manner. He displays a thoughtfulness and analytic manner that effectively examines options and provides detailed explanations for the pros and cons of potential solutions without being overbearing. In providing sound advice and guidance, he has vastly improved the overall functioning of my small business. I would recommend him without reservation.
