There is no substitute for experience! Chris Colabella has practiced law for over 30 years and his motto is that there is no case too big or too small. “It is not so much about the case as it is about meeting people and meeting their needs. As an attorney, I am in the unique position to meet people in times of crisis, at a crossroads or embarking on the investment of their lives. I firmly believe that there are no coincidences in life. This includes the people I meet while pursuing my craft. We are all given gifts and talents that we are expected to use in service of others.”

It is in using his gifts and talents that Chris has built a successful practice for himself and his associates. He views every conflict as an opportunity. This serves him well in meeting the needs of his clients and helping them find the opportunity presented by their problem.

“Conflict in the family matters that I handle are the most complicated and the most important. The impact good counsel can have on the direction of a family dispute, whether a divorce or an estate matter, can have long lasting implications for the families and sometimes the community.”

Chris has developed excellent negotiation and trial skills over his three decades of practice. Each year, Chris brings many cases before the Court in both jury or bench trials. Whether it is a family law or personal injury case, an estate matter or complex litigation, aggressive advocacy is sometimes necessary. It is not always possible to settle disputes. When settlement is not possible, Chris’s team is equipped to offer vigorous and meticulous representation in all New Jersey Courts.

Thank you for all of your time and concern regarding my case. You helped me during a very difficult time in my life and I will never forget your kindness. But, I think the most important thing you have given me is a feeling of power that I have never known. Thank you for that. -- Marie C.
