I would recommend him to anyone! Apr 22, 2025

Frank Aliveto represented me in my divorce case. Even though there were several speed bumps, he was on top of everything. He was extremely informative and let me know every option I had. Each step of the way he made sure I was okay with everything, and was so thorough. I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you, Frank!

Chris Protected My Interests Jan 28, 2025

Chris was referred to me by a family member he successfully represented in their divorce, and I’m so grateful for that referral. He represented me in my divorce with professionalism, compassion, and a clear focus on protecting my interests. I had a lot at stake, and my ex-husband was pushing for a lump-sum settlement without providing any documentation or going through discoveries. It was a stressful situation, but Chris kept me calm and reassured me he’d handle everything—and he absolutely delivered. Chris’s expertise and negotiation skills backed down my ex and his attorney, and within less than three months, my divorce was finalized. I walked away with all of my assets intact. If you’re looking for an attorney you can trust to protect your future, I can’t recommend Chris highly enough!

I have a huge smile on my face Jun 26, 2024

I am a woman who was divorcing. My final hearing was scheduled one month ago, and I found myself needing a different lawyer. With 4 weeks to get a new lawyer up to speed, I needed good advice. A pal highly recommended Chris Janelle. I was nervous about starting up with a new lawyer so close to the final hearing. Little, if any, progress had been made on the case in 9 months into it already, and I was feeling worn out. I met with Chris and several other lawyers too but chose Chris almost immediately. He looked at my pile of papers and in two minutes pretty much figured out what I needed to do and plan for. I actually left his office nearly in disbelief. The culture and climate in his office were entirely different. His office space is calming, spacious, and attractive. There is an elegance to the way Chris does things and how he speaks, and an air of confidence that, while not arrogant, he should be. It seems to come from a deep understanding of how it's going to go down, how the other side is going to react, and how a judge will likely respond. I am writing this having just left the courthouse, and yes, I have a huge smile on my face. I wanted to write this note to anyone out there now, before I celebrate with my friends and family, and let them know how relieved and grateful I am to Chris and his team. He fixed everything in one month, and we went to the final hearing, and it’s all settled TODAY. He negotiated like a beast and never broke a sweat. No continuances and no problems. No issues. We’re done. Chris can be blunt, and he gets to the point, but not in an offensive way. He isn’t going to waste your money or time, or his time. He’s a smooth operator. He just knows how to handle it all. Did I say he’s smooth? After 36 years in the business, he isn’t jaded, but he seems eager to win and, again, I keep recalling a kind of elegance to the whole court-law-thing he’s got going on. Don’t look back, and with Chris, instead, look forward to your future. Trust him. Let him do his thing, and you will be writing a review one day too because you just won’t believe what happened. For once I made a great decision. I hired Chris and his team. I felt like I was on a first-class ride to the best outcome and now, a whole new life. What a great day!!

Took the Stress Out of the Equation Nov 30, 2023

I was very satisfied with the representation I received from Frank Aliveto. I never felt rushed, but I also never felt like my time was being wasted. He made everything easy to understand and was straightforward. I never felt like I was surprised in the courtroom, as he explained exactly how everything would work and took most of the stress out of the equation for me. I would recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.
