Mr. Sawin helped me during a particularly stressful time when my divorce agreement and child support were being modified. He was very straightforward and responsive. His office staff and junior attorneys were kind and helpful. There were multiple challenges related to my case, including Covid-19. At the end of it all, I had the result that I wanted. I am very grateful for the peace of mind that I had knowing that he was representing my interests throughout an emotionally trying time. I will also add that choosing him to represent me for the modification was one of the best decisions that I made - I believe having a strong advocate with experience in the local courts allowed for a quick resolution.
As a client of Sawin Law I was treated with courtesy and respect. Throughout the time it took for Sawin Law to resolve my personal representative appointment and inheritance distribution the firm was professional and able to easily solve any challenges. I highly recommend Sawin Law.

The perfect attorney!!
Chris represented me in my divorce! He did an amazing job and I could not have asked for more. He is honest, reliable, knowledgeable, hard working, and down to earth! Just a really good quality person and attorney! I met with quite a few attorneys before Chris and I just didn’t feel like they were a good match. Most were kind of cold. When I met Chris I knew right away that he was the perfect person to help me navigate what was a difficult situation. Thank you so much for all your efforts. In the end I got what I needed and wanted out of my divorce.

Chris is reliable and very honest to work with
Chris not only made it easy and effortless to work with him, he was also attentive to my situation every step of the way. He is a very honest worker and is very upfront with you from the start. I could rely on him to get the job done without hesitation. He is a true professional and very knowledgeable with his work. The thing that makes him stand out most is that he works for you and has your best interest at hand. I will be using him again in the future.

The best phone call I've ever made!!
I was going through a pretty ugly custody battle. The process is hard enough to navigate but with the times being what they are in 2020 I couldn't imagine going through this without Chris's help. I ended up with custody of my son and pretty much everything we were asking for. Chris and his staff made it easy and effortless for me. From one Marine to another, Semper Fi brother and thank you for all you've done.

Work Ethic
I worked with Chris on a complex case regarding veterans issues. He was very technically proficient and had a wealth of knowledge. He would regularly send me correspondence at all hours of the night which speaks to his tenacity and work ethic. I was referred to Chris by a friend who Chris represented successfully in a divorce.

Complicated Situation
Attorney Sawin is a great attorney to have on your side if you want to win. He worked tirelessly on a very complicated case I was involved in, involving many moving parts. We got the positive outcome we wanted because of Attorney Sawin. He was always available via phone and email for any and all questions. He made navigating the legal process for someone brand new to this so much easier. I couldn't recommend Attorney Sawin more!

Excellent Lawyer
I hired Chris to help with a workers compensation claim. It turned into a wrongful termination case as I was let go after being hurt at work. I know this isn't his usual area of expertise, but he recognized the wrongful termination and went after it.
He was diligent and communicative.
Being a Marine Corps Veteran definitely gives him an edge and he will fight for you to the end.
Very highly recommended.

Legal advise
Chris was quick to jump into action and give me amazing advice, which saved me thousands. He knew exactly what to do and say to get the dealership to think twice about what they had done. He had my next step planned out for me before i even asked him. Ive never had someone so willing to go to bat for me.
I highly recommend anyone seeking legal advice/counsil/representation talk to Chris. Hes the man and will fight for you!
150% will use him again!

Extremely helpful and encouraging in a uncertain situation
Christopher helped me understand the legal concerns I had with a housing issue, taking the time to make sure he understood the situation I was in, then making sure that I understood it as well. His responses to my legal concerns were both clear and comprehensive. I very much appreciated and was impressed by his attention to detail, as well as his and ability to be aware of and ask about related circumstances that could have impacted my issue.
The thing that set Christopher apart was his interest in making sure, not just that I understood my situation legally, but that I was confidant in approaching the situation correctly. It's rare to find someone who is able to do both the technical and social sides of their job so well. I'm grateful to Christopher for his time and willingness to help me feel grounded in knowing what my options were and that I was taking a well thought out approach to solving my problem.
I would be glad to be able to ask him for help if I had a need for legal representation in the future.

Breach of Contract
I own a business and a customer of mine did fulfill his part of the contract. So I hired Chris to represent me and my case. The opposing attorney threw some ridiculous arguments and delay tactics, but Chris stuck with it won every argument and succeeded and wining the case for me.
I highly recommend Attorney Chris Sawin as your business lawyer.

Review for Christopher Sawin
When I hired Chris to help me with my divorce I had absolutely no idea where to even begin. Chris seemed to fly through the process showing me that he knew exactly what he was doing, and throughout the process clearly explained every single step we had to take to successfully do the divorce. Without Chris I wouldn’t have been able to come close to finishing the process let alone doing it the correct way. Not only is Chris a fellow combat veteran, he’s an excellent attorney and all around personable person to work with.
