  • “Whether it’s on the Township Council’s dais, in our executive sessions, or in consultation on any of the diverse challenges a municipality can face, Chris Corsini and his team are the gold standard in local government representation. During my time in government, and throughout my service at the local, county, and federal level, I’ve learned that judgment and experience are the most important qualities that an attorney can possess, and Chris has those attributes in ample supply. His knowledge and instincts pay off in dividends every day for Bridgewater, and he also shines in a crisis and in adversity. He was instrumental in helping us navigating a complicated, highly sensitive emergency our town faced in 2022 – a situation that made national headlines. Confidence is everything in this business, and my faith in Chris and his team at Savo Schalk is unshakable.”
