I am extremely grateful to Chris and his firm for delivering a positive resolution to my situation. I had lost hope that I would attain a positive resolution, and Chris went above and beyond to ensure we would get the outcome I was hoping for. Every time I spoke to Chris, I had confidence renewed just by knowing I had his support. He is extremely knowledgeable, has a wealth of experience, and definitely somebody you would want to represent you. Chris, thanks so much for your role in securing my professional journey!

If I could give .more stars, I would most definitely do it This law firm is AMAZING! Chris Aiello is a kind, compassionate individual who took my case immediately and navigated me through the whole process. In addition, being overly anxious about my case, Chris was totally understanding and helped me get through the tough times and helped with my anxious thoughts of the outcome of my case. I would 100% recommend Chris and his team to help in a case. My case went from a criminal charge to a dismissal. Absolutely an amazing team including Genesis and Yanira who kept me updated on the additional legal information. I highly recommend Chris and his group. Thanks again Chris for everything! You are an amazing man and a caring, humbled Individual.

I worked with Aiello, Harris, Abate law firm for dealing with the traffic court. I originally talked to Christopher Harris who was very professional. He handed over the responsibilities to James Lankford. It was very helpful to have the lawyers involved, because we had a big snow storm shutting the state down on the day of my first court date.

Ultimately, Mr. Lankford was able to negotiate a deal in which I did not have to show up for the court, even online, and everything could be resolved remotely. I thank him for being in touch with me throughout via texts and phone calls and guiding me through this process. In addition, their legal assistant Yanira Castaneda and other staff from the office were very friendly and helpful. I recommend this firm strongly!

Edward T Conroy

We worked with Aiello, Harris, Abate, James Lankford specifically, on a difficult drug court case involving a family member facing felony charges last year. James demonstrated thorough knowledge of the process and was an excellent partner throughout the ordeal.

Our family is very grateful to the firm and James. Our family member will be coming up on his first year of sobriety and success in the NJ Drug Court thanks, in large part, to James’ effort, and of course the willingness of our family member to get clean..

Very grateful,

ET Conroy

I had called and had consultations with other attorneys before landing on james lankford. I couldn’t be happier that I did.

From day 1 his professionalism, experience, and most importantly his genuine down to earth demeanor had me confident that he was the right attorney to represent me in a situation that nobody wants to be in. And day of sentencing the best possible outcome in my situation was achieved. Probation with no jail time!!
From my family and myself thank you, James lankford and the aeillo and harris firm for giving me the best legal representation I could have asked for.

My son got into trouble with the law in New Jersey. We used Aiello, Harris, Abate two times and were lucky enough to get Jim Lankford assign to his case. Jim was able to explain the legal system to me, the procedures and consequences.
He was available to talk to me over the phone, even after office hours , if we had something important to discuss, or if I was just totally panic stricken.
Jim is proficient, professional, knowledgeable and provided me with the personal attention that I needed.
Jim goes above and beyond what is expected.
If you get into trouble with the law in NJ, do yourself a favor and hire Aiello, Harris, Abate and ask for
Jim Lankford, he will do everything in his power to help you!

Diondra Martin

When I contacted the Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Firm I did so with minimum information on hand. My paper had been misplaced some time ago. However, this did not deter Mr. Lankford. He worked with me every step of the way to resolve my legal matter. He took on homework that would not have been needed had I’d still had all the initial paperwork and he did so without a qualm. Additionally, they are reasonably priced and understand the impact of financial constraints; especially in light of current events. If you are looking for a lawyer for most any matter I highly recommend looking in Aiello, Harris, Abate.

- Diondra Martin
Danielle Murdock

Mr. Aiello was a wonderful advocate for my son as he faced some serious driving charges. The results of our case were better than we could have hoped for. I felt confident that my son was in good hands, and was proven correct. Without the expertise and experience of Mr. Aiello, things may have been much more difficult for us, but the end result was fair and positive. Thank you for your work on our behalf.

THESE ARE THE PROFESSIONALS YOU WILL NEED ON YOUR SIDE! I was in an extremely sensitive situation that could have implications to my immigration statues where I was extremely worried and there seem to be no way out, BUT James Lankford crossed all his T doted ALL his i and made all charges drop within the first 3 minutes of my court date. He was amazing, and not just that its the fact that he cared enough to make sure he found all the possible avenues to make sure there was a way out for me. I can’t thank him and his law firm enough CARING. EXPERTS!!!!!

SI

I had ‘bad’ representation in a previous traffic case with some other office and when I got into a car accident I started looking for a new office. I noted the office of Aiello and Harris was highly ranked in a list I bumped on and I thought I ‘d give them a try and I was glad I did. I had James Lankford by my side in the court. James assessed the case, weighted the strategy and delivered the expected..
Thereafter I asked James to represent my son on another case and it was again “smooth sailing’. James takes personal interest in the case as if it was his own family on trial, and brings that human element out in the court processes. We all wish that we don’t have the need of representation but if needed it is good to know that this office is there and ready to help. Thank you James.

I was represented by Jim Lankford expecting to lose my license. He was incredibly patient with me and was helpful with every question I asked him. After almost a year of delays by the PD and court Mr. Lankford worked with the prosecutor to make sure I kept my license when I was totally beyond hope that was even a possibility. I am beyond happy with the results I got from this firm and the way I was treated and would recommend you guys to anyone!

These guys were my saviors

These guys were my saviors. Chris Aiello spent hours in discussing my case to the smallest detail. He introduced me to the attorney assigned to my case, Anthony Alfano. Both were professional, knowledgable and compassionate. I felt secure from day one that I would have a positive outcome. My 3 charges got dismissed 100% after 1 month and only 2 court appearances, which my previous incompetent lawyer was unable to do after 6 months. Thank you to Chris and Anthony, you saved my life, career, and character. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an outstanding criminal attorney.”

That was better than I could have imagined

Christopher Aiello handled my case perfectly. He communicated with me from the time we hired the firm through every step of the process. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and explained all aspects of my case, the charges against me, and our legal options. He was able to postpone the court date multiple times so it would not interfere with my seasonal work. He was able to get a plea deal for a seldom used lesser charge by recognizing the specific details of my case that applied to that charge. In summary, Christopher Aiello was there to represent me for a potentially serious charge and produced an outcome that was better than I could have imagined.”

- Chris Busch
Thank you Christopher for your counsel!

Mr. Aiello handled a motor vehicle case for my son. On our first call with him he understood the situation and provided analysis, options and immediate advice on how to proceed. He supported us with information during the period leading to the trial date and he prepared us for what would happen in court. His experience in such cases allowed him to negotiate a lessor charge and prevent revocation of license. I found the firm on the web – – next time I need an attorney I won’t need to look any further. Thank you Christopher for your counsel!”

- Craig Busch
I felt very comfortable with the professionalism of the whole process

I worked with James Lankford for a traffic court situation. At the time I had a lot of things going on personally and put my trust in his guidance. Not only did he accomplish exactly what we discussed but I felt very comfortable with the professionalism of the whole process. I will be going back to this law firm for other matters in the future.”
