Report
We were recently represented as defendants by attorney Alan J. DePeters of TrevvittCristo on a civil matter. We received professional and courteous service with regularupdates on the status of our case. We were EXTREMELY impressed with the detailed answerMr. DePeters provided the court in response to the Plaintiffs rationale for the suit. One by one he nailed the Plaintiffs rationale as false and unenforceable. The court agreed and we were successful in having the case dismissed. We would highly recommend this law firm and Mr. DePeters.

My family is very grateful for Trevett Cristo. They handled our case professionally and they saw things through diligently. I believe they got us the best possible outcome. I highly recommend their attorneys. Lou was our lawyer and we are happy with his services. His paralegal, Brenda, was fantastic. They treated us like people and were very supportive and communication was top notch. Highly recommended.
