Aside from loving the work that I do and the help that I am able to offer my clients, my family, especially my children are my greatest joy.  At ages 18 and 15, each day with them is a wonderful experience.  Although maybe not politically a correct statement, I believe that my work as an attorney and the time my career forces me to spend apart from them actaully makes our relationship stronger.  Despite my belief, my office is decorated in a colorful collection of 8 x 10 photos of my children, parents and friends.. On February 1, 2021, I opened the Law Office of Cris Wasserman.  We practice employment law, unemployment benefits, personal injury and general contract rights and responsibilities. Since the very beginning of my career, I have sought to help people and opening my own firm allows me to do so, on my own terms. I am more excited about my future and my practice, than I have been in years.
