In October 2008, after 30 years of practice and 27 years at large law firms I decided to open my own firm. I enjoyed the large firm experience and training but over the years it seemed that my ability to represent potential clients was being limited more and more often by client and issue conflicts. This may be the inevitable consequence of being in a large firm in the smaller upstate New York market. I feel that the small firm platform will give clients all of the advantages of a "big firm" attorney with none of the disadvantages.

In every case Chris D'Amato handles, he strives to develop a personal relationship with his client so that he can fully understand how the injury has affected their life. As a proud father, he understands how an injury to one family member can affect the family as a whole.

However, each client deserves – and receives – the same effort, attention and respect from Mr. D'Amato.

I started Mazzu Law PLLC in 2020 as a plaintiff’s personal injury law firm for construction site injuries, auto and trucking accidents, and serious personal injury cases.. In 2009, after working for 10 years as a union ironworker, I suffered a serious spinal injury on a construction site.

In 5 years, I completed an associates, bachelors, and a law degree.. In 2015, I started working with some of the top trial attorneys in New York State, especially when handling construction site injury cases..

I practice law to help people solve problems, achieve their goals and reduce liability. I do this with a smile and with empathy, because legal issues are often stressful, traumatic and/or filled with anxiety. As a fellow human being and business man, I treat people the way they want to be treated and the way I would want to be treated, no matter their identity, background or income. Whenever possible, I prefer to offer preventive legal advice, but will do triage, intervention and treatment of legal issues as needed as well. Lastly, for all my clients, I am as much counselor at law as I am lawyer. Sometimes, clients need to talk and be heard as much as they need advice and legal strategy. I look forward to helping you with your legal needs. I am a phone call, text message or email away.
