Christopher J. Cifrodello graduated from St. Benedict’s Preparatory School in Newark, NJ. He received his college degree in political science from Montclair State University and obtained his law degree from New York Law School. He is admitted to practice in the State of New Jersey and the State of New York. Mr. Cifrodello focuses his practice on criminal defense and drunk driving matters.
He began his legal career working on Wall Street at a white-shoe law firm. While there, he worked in its’ litigation department focusing on white collar crimes and working on some of the biggest high-stakes litigation cases involving some of the largest Fortune 500 companies in the world.
Envisioning a more individualized approach to practicing law, he left Wall Street and returned to New Jersey to go into private practice. Now Mr. Cifrodello spends all of his days in a courtroom defending individuals accused of criminal, drunk driving, and motor vehicle offenses throughout the various New Jersey counties in both County Superior Court and Municipal Court.
To Mr. Cifrodello, there is nothing worse than seeing an individual defendant underrepresented. That is why the cornerstone of his practice is a client-focused environment where the client is assured the personal attention they deserve, in addition to a results driven atmosphere where the clients can be assured their attorney is doing everything legally possible to turn over every stone and make every legal argument in their defense.
