Chris York is a fantastic lawyer and an all around great guy. I never expected my atonrney would be so kind and caring. I was under a lot of stress, having never been in any kind of legal trouble before and it was really taking a toll but Chris assured me throughout the whole process and expertly handled everything that was thrown at him. I couldnt have asked for a better atorney to have my back, I highly recomend Chris to anyone who is looking for an atorney in Putnum county.

I was in desperate need of an attorney. I had an issue with an old employer that was causing me a great deal of issues. I was being accused of theft and these charges would've ruined my life. I also have a daughter who is my whole world and as you can imagine this would put her in a bad situation as well. I'm going to a medical issues as well and this issue would've made my health much worse.

I was looking around and each lawyer didn't give me much hope, or I simply didn't trust them. When I first met Mr. York, I immediately felt at ease. I've never met a more compassionate, intelligent, and honest lawyer. He was upfront about what could happen, however gave me hope that he would work hard to fight this. His knowledge of the law blew me away. Mr. York was a shark with the officer. He never stopped fighting!! I'm thankful to report because of him, my case has been closed. This is a lawyer who puts his clients first. He's not a money hungry lawyer. He's honest and gives you the truth, always. He's compassionate with his clients. He always answers his phone and gives you updates. This is not a lawyer you need to chase down to find out answers. You won't find another lawyer who is better than him!

I owe Mr. York my life. If it wasn't for his tenacious attitude and knowledge I don't know where I'd be...I don't know where my daughter would be.
My daughter is my whole world. I can't live without her. Mr. York saved two people the day he won my case. Mine and my daughters life. He saved me from giving up and saved my daughter because she still has her mommy. Thank you Mr. York for everything!!!

Last year my wife and I went from a normal loving family enjoying each day to a family in crisis and embroiled in traumatic legal nightmare. One of our children was arrested with very serious charges with drugs and a serious crime. He was still a minor but faced potential long jail sentence. Our world turned upside-down. When it all started, the community, most of our friends, and even some of our family scattered. All we knew was he'd been arrested and being held in the county jail. We didn't know where to turn or what we should do next. Thank God we were lucky enough to have someone recommend Chris York as our attorney.

Chris made himself immediately available and handled everything for us personally. From the start, Chris was one our side talk about what we needed to do, and what was best for our child. Chris knows the law, the courts, and people all over the community. He was available 100% of the time, and made smart decisions fast and worked to put together a solid defense. In the end, Chris presented the situation with great passionate and authenticity to the court. He was not afraid to put his own reputation on the line, and presented the case in a way no one else in this area could have done. We were incredibly relieved once is was completed.

Beyond the legal work, Chris also connected with our son. He spoke to him about the law and his behavior and helped him believe in himself and his future. Chris genuinely cared and was passionate about the correct outcome legally and for our son's long term happiness. In the end Chris gave us back our son and our piece of mind.

Mr. York represented my son the the Southeast Town Court and achieved an outcome that was so favorable there really are no words to express our graditude. My son can now continue his desire to obtain his CDL license and get back to work. Thank you Mr. York.

Please do not bother shopping around! If you happen to be in a situation where you need an Attorney please don't waste time agonizing over who to choose. Mr. York is very precise, diligent & comforting. He doesn't skip a beat and is always working hard for you! This review is coming from someone that does not write reviews...so he's the real deal!

If you have an issue in the courts of Putnam County, Christopher York is THE only one to call. Aside from being a nice man, who always answers his phone, he is an expert deal-maker. He knows the judges, the police, and how the whole system works. He helped a family member out of two difficult situations and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

Christopher York is a very professional, caring, understanding and hard working lawyer who goes above and beyond his capability at times for his clientele. I would recommend his services for anyone anytime; you always want someone in your corner to treat and fight for you as if you were family and Christopher York is that person for you.

Christopher York is the former District Attorney In Brewster where he practices criminal law and handles DWI as well as any other type of criminal matters. He is a very talented and dedicated lawyer who takes the time to explain the case to you as a client and fully prepare for trial. He is the best lawyer in Brewster and has the respect of the lawyers, prosecutors, and judges in that area. He is honest, compassionate, and very detail-oriented. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who really cares about his clients and getting the best possible results possible.

John C.

From the beginning Chris said to trust him and not to worry. I was frantic because it was my 2nd dwi and last thing I wanted was interlock device or scrambler. He was able to negotiate 50hrs community service, victim impact panel w/classes and 90 day suspension. This second chance has made me change my life. Chris was attentive and a pleasure to work with.

Bridget

Christopher York is the best attorney that anyone could have on their side. He went way beyond the call of duty in his representation of my case. Attorney York's professionalism exceeded my limits and the gratitude I have for his services are truly immeasurable.

When I say he cared about my case, it is truthfully an understatement. After lengthy negotiations and multiple court appearances, Attorney York was able to convince the prosecutor to back off their insistence that I receive a misdemeanor criminal record. The final judgement was that I plead to a violation, pay a fine, and participate in a program which literally saved my life. Christopher York is the most kind, compassionate, and understanding attorney that will work tirelessly on getting a favorable outcome. I always had a sense of comfort when I was in Chris' presence throughout the case, as he reduced the severe anxiety and fear of having to live with a criminal record.

I would recommend calling Christopher York immediately if you are facing a situation in the court system. Chris is not only a Tier 1 attorney, he is in a league of his own.

Thank you Chris for your representation.

Exceptional Representation by Attorney York

This was the first time I've needed a lawyer, I didn't know what to do so we searched online and found Christopher York. After reading about him we were impressed and did not hesitate to call and set up an appointment. After our first meeting I felt very comfortable and knew I was in the best of hands. Christopher has high standards and will fight for the best possible outcome, he did for me and I am so grateful for what he did for me.
So grateful for Christoper York

I got myself into a big disaster over 9 months ago. And I had no idea what to do, who to speak to, who to trust. I got arrested and was facing 3 felonies and a misdemeanor. And once it happened I couldn't sleep or think. I felt like I threw my life and career away within the matter of seconds. So I did a lot of research and found Mr. York and he had awesome reviews and I felt he would be the only one to help me get out of this horrible situation. And I must say Mr. York is God!! He spoke to me and told me don't lose sleep continue with your life just stay out of trouble. Which I did. Mr. York said If you need to contact me at anytime just call. I must say he is very reliable and he even answers his clients on the weekends. Where do you get that trust and care from any lawyer? Right here with Mr. York. Also he will contact you within seconds of hearing any updates and etc. He gave it his all with my case and what a great job he did. He was able to get all 4 charges against me dropped to just 1 disorderly conduct ticket. I owe Mr. York big time. I highly recommend hiring Mr. York for anything. He is a awesome lawyer and also awesome to chat with. He won't let you down. Thank you once again Mr. York for getting me my life back. I'll never forget it!!

Mr. Christopher York Is The Best Lawyer Ever!!

Christopher York is a man of his word and very intelligent. I would call him a super hero or aka the new Johnnie Cochran. I was facing a serious Felony charge in the state of New York. He put in so much time, effort and dedication into my case and got my charges dropped within a couple of months. This guy saved my life and career. He knew I was innocence and stood by me the whole time. Chris York is fair and honorable above all else. Thanks again Chris, you're the Best lawyer ever!!!

Christopher York is the BEST criminal defense in the World!!! Better than Johnnie Cochran!!!

I came to Chris York in one of my darkest hours. I was despondent and panicked. I had spoken to other lawyers and they increased my anxiety with their aggressive tactics and unsavory demeanor. The moment I spoke to Attorney York on the phone I felt a sense of relief. Not only is he the most knowledgeable and competent attorney in the area, he is also a wonderful person. Genuine, compassionate and comforting, just knowing that I had him behind me soothed me during a very difficult time. Of course he got the optimal outcome for me and was able to do the impossible, as any good miracle worker should. He is upstanding, scrupulous and respected by all in the community for his reputation and credibility. No one will get you a better result or give you more peace of mind during your time of need.

A rare find

My son needed legal representation for a traffic violation that would have caused him the loss of future jobs. We called Mr. York and within 10 hours the case was dismissed. Mr. York explained the law very clearly to my son and let him know what the outcomes could be. Mr. York explained to my son that the traffic laws are much more severe for individuals with a CDL license - now my son is free to get his CDL license and get back work to doing what he enjoys.

Honest, truthful and kind

Chris is an exceptional attorney with extensive knowledge and experience. He is upfront and honest with you as to what results he thinks he will be able to achieve. He did a great job representing me. My case was dismissed thanks to Chris. My experience with Chris was above and beyond my expectations and I highly reccomend him.

Great Lawyer!

The minute that we met with Chris, we felt confident that he would represent my family with the utmost respect and professionalism. Chris was very attentive, informative and most of all, incredibly sensitive to our needs and concerns.

He delivered world class representation and our family was able to put a terrible experience behind us.

Excellent Representation From Chris

Chris took on my felony case without hesitation even though the odds were highly against me receiving a favorable disposition. Chris worked tirelessly on my case which ended up as a misdemeanor. I couldn't asked for a better result considering the circumstances. Chris fully understands that we are all human and make mistakes. Chris's empathy and willingness to treat his clients with the respect they deserve was a comfort to me during this extremely unsettling time in my life. Chris literally saved my professional career and personal life from certain longtime uncertainty. His expertise and professionalism is unmatched. I highly recommend Chris.

Highly Recommended Attorney

My son was in a bind. I needed someone to help him out and make everything o.k. . Chris was a great help. Not only was Chris very knowledgable but he was also very personable as well. What more can you ask for in a lawyer? Chris made a hard situation much easier to get through. I highly reccomend Christopher York for whatever it is that you may need a lawyer for. Chris is the best!

Best Lawyer In Criminal Defense

From our first conversation I knew Christopher York was the right call. Professional, understanding and willing to go the extra mile. From start to finish he was on top of everything, keeping me up to date and in the loop. I would highly recommend Chris York to anyone in the Hudson Valley looking for competent and capable legal help.

Colin

The best

I personally have known Chris York for over 5 years and never did I ever think that I would need the professional services that he has to offer.... Well in October 2015, I was facing 7 felonies, yes 7 in total, and I knew that I had to call Chris and needed his assistance in fighting these charges.

I cannot describe to you in words how much my whole world was falling apart around me. I had just lost my job as a nurse as a result of my legal troubles, lost friends and family over my subsequent arrest and I had NO hope in finding work until this case was behind me. I turned to Chris for emotional support and legal guidance and he assured me that he would not settle for anything less than the best possible outcome for my case, which was the dismissal of all of my charges. And even then, a very tall order for any attorney, under these circumstances.

He did tell me this case could take some time to get sorted out in court. He answered the phone, even on a saturday, and that to me shows how committed he is. And very up front with me about the severity of my case and didn't sugar coat any step in the legal process, which I much appreciated.

Through every single court hearing, and there were many, he fought and fought for me. I was impressed before I hired him as my attorney, and I always knew I hired the best one out there. He fought to get me the best possible outcome. And it took 1 1/2 years, I was issued an ACOD for 6 months, and now all of my charges were dismissed and I now have my life back.

I was able to keep my NY state nursing license, I now am able to work again and I am now restored to the way I was before this whole nightmare started.

Chris York is THE best attorney out there, I have no doubt at all!!

BEYOND EXCELLENT

Over the past year, Christopher York has provided our family with exceptional service, going above and beyond in every aspect. After our son was arrested, Mr. York met with us and immediately began working on the case. The first step he took, was meet with our son, consoling him and giving him peace of mind after a traumatic event. At this point he created a personal connection, and became a compassionate friend to our son. Chris was dedicated from the start, he walked us through every step of the process, from court to helping us find personal counseling. Chris worked extremely hard on the case, his professionalism and experience, alongside his unhindered dedication to achieve the best results, allowed us to settle the case in a manner that exceeded our expectations. Throughout the case, he continuously fought to get us a better and better deal.

Even when we were satisfied, he was not, his dedication and drive was unbelievable, in the end we were ecstatic over the outcome of the case. Additionally, the price to retain his services was more than reasonable compared to the time and effort he put into our case, we offered additional payment multiple times and were continuously denied. We highly recommend Chris to anyone hom needs support and guidance in criminal matters, his honesty and trustworthiness were greatly appreciated.

More than a Lawyer, possibly Superman

I contacted Mr. York to represent my son in court. When we met with him he was very reassuring and took the time to explain everything in detail. He truly made us feel at ease. Anytime I had a question he was always available . Dealing with Mr. York was as close to having a lawyer in the family. When he could, he got the fines lowered, he found the best counseling services and again made sure we did not overpay. He advised my son not only as a lawyer but as a mentor. He worked immediately on the case and got us the best possible results. Mr York went above and beyond and I cannot give enough praise for all he has done for our family. I highly recommend his services.

Exceptional, Professional and Personable

When I think of Mr. York, I imagine he has a big red and yellow 'Y' underneath that unassuming suit. Without him at my side, my life would've been completely set back for months, if not years. This all for a mistake that perhaps anyone familiar with alcohol and its dangers can empathize. Being out-of-state, I had some initial travel restrictions when it came time to having an in-person consultation, but Mr. York went the extra mile (really) to help iron this out before he was even hired. I would quickly learn then (and later in the courtroom) how respected, highly regarded, and connected he is to his community. My concerns were quickly alleviated, and he made sure I had all questions answered that day, and the ones following. Mr. York has a reasonable fee structure for cases like mine, in the interest of getting the best outcome possible. The number of visits to court and work done behind the scenes was not a concern, only the result was. And it paid off. When I received my ruling, even the other lawyers in the room were a bit puzzled as to how it all happened. I feel blessed to have chosen the right person to make the best out of a really bad situation. In my experience, it would be foolish to have anyone else fight for you in Mr. York's territory.

Truly Exceptional

Chris was over the top in excellence. On time, clear about the process, answered his phone personally, called back when asked. He did an amazing job for me and I am grateful.

Excellent Lawyer.

Mr. York won't stop until he's satisfied with the outcome. He went to fight for me because he believed in me. He was always available to talk or answer my questions and if he missed my call he would ring me back within the hour. Upon my request, he was also willing to speak to my family with regards to my case. He is compassionate and knows how to be malleable with each client depending on their needs. His sensitivity toward my case was perfectly balanced by his erudite knowledge of New York State Law.
