From his first year of Law School Mr. Falconetti has dedicated his efforts to representing injured workers. With a family history rooted deeply in the union trades and civil service there is no surprise of the strong bond and mutual respect Mr. Falconetti shares with his clients.

In the past, Christopher M. Falconetti has been privileged to conduct classes and seminars for various local unions, health care professionals, and many others, providing pre-accident education and information that is absolutely essential to protect and educate workers, medical professionals, and union members.
