I highly recommend Christopher J. Mutimer for his exceptional handling of my civil protection order (CPO) case, which was settled favorably out of court. Christopher combined expert legal guidance with genuine empathy, making a complex process clear and manageable. His proactive, thorough approach and outstanding communication skills were key in achieving a resolution that brought me peace of mind. For anyone seeking a dedicated and highly skilled attorney, Christopher is the best choice.
My family had a great experience working with Chris and his team. They were organized, paid attention to detail and were in constant communication.
Chris Mutimer and all staff were very responsive, quick and professional. I was presented with the best option for my situation and 1-year later, my case was dismissed. I would certainly recommend his services.
Christopher J. Mutimer was incredibly professional and was very timely in their response to take care of my legal issues and concerns. I greatly appreciate the dedication from Scrofano Law and can’t recommend them enough for the assistance.
Mr. Mutimer provided prompt service and was available and easily accessible to answer all my questions for the duration of my case. He was thorough enough to list all available pathways to determine the best outcome for my case.
