"Excellent Attorney”
"Chris has been representing me since the past summer and is still currently representing me. He was recommended to me through a friend he once represented. He is amazing. Extremely knowledgeable, diligent, very punctual and over all a great spirit. For a lawyer he has a great attitude about him, he knows how to talk to and treat his clients. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of criminal representation. He is a true guru of his trade."
"Class Act.... Top Notch...Very Professional Lawyer.."
"Mr. Devane is extremely professional and caring. Mr. Devane is well respected in Nassau county, and it shows. Hiring the right lawyer when your freedom is on the line is half the battle, prayer is the other half. Mr. Devane is always on time and prepared, he knows his craft, and he excels at it. The only bad thing I can say about Mr. Devane is he is a Boston red Sox's fan, that's about the worst thing you will ever hear about Mr. Devane”

"Mr.Devane has been my attorney for 7 months on a really difficult criminal case. I am delighted to say that in such a short period of time, thanks to his exceptional expertise Mr.Devane was able to negotiate my charge down to a full dismissal. I am extremelly blessed that I was able to have such competent and exceptional attorney with a winning intellect. I highly recommend Christopher Devane, not just because he is an amazing attorney but because he is an extraordiany person who understood many of my concerns about my case and was always available to answer them honestly. I felt protected while under his counsel."

"Best Criminal Attorney in Nassau County”
"Chris Devane has represented my son twice. One reduced to a violation and currently working diligently on this current case which is a little complicated, However, with Mr. Devane, I have the utmost confidence he will succeed again. He has a great human spirit which most attorneys seem to lack. I thank God there are still good people like him in this profession."

"Top notch attorney"
"Christopher represented me on a DWI case that went on for nearly 2 years. During this time he was very caring and devoted to making me informed of the situation, was always there waiting for me in the court room, on time, and helped to put me at ease as I was very nervous over the outcome of this matter. It was an extremly tough time for me; luckily he was able to get my charges reduced to an impairment that would not hold a criminal charge on my record. Would definitely recommend this attorney!"
