Christopher B. Coughlin

Chris worked with me on a personal matter, that needed his expertise. He gave me great advise, which allowed me to resolve the situation without getting the police involved or going to court. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who has a sticky situation that needs to have a positive outcome. ... He has lots of experience with personal matters and has very good judgement on how to resolve them.

I feel incredibly lucky to have had Chris as my attorney. He helped me challenge a DUI charge that resulted in a Not Guilty decision. After my DUI charge, I was nervous and didn't have a clue where to start. I found him on AVVO and from the minute I walked into his office, Chris helped me feel confid...ent that we would achieve the best possible outcome. My case was complicated and stretched over 2.5 years. Throughout that time I got to know Chris and saw how respected he is amongst his colleagues. Having a lawyer that DA's, police/troopers and judges respect is equally as important as the facts of your case. Chris was always a quick phone call away if I had any questions about my case and helped me understand all my options by taking the time to go through multiple scenarios. I put my trust in Chris' strategy and he didn't steer me wrong. When we got to court, he argued my case incredibly well. He was extremely prepared, through and passionate in arguing the presentation of facts that he know like the back of his hand. He also knew the mechanics of breathalyzers, the exact footage of the crossroads where my incident occurred, and even the background on how officers are trained in assessing DUI cases and writing reports. My case resulted in a positive outcome for me and we also left the courtroom shaking hands with the DA - and this is entirely because of Chris. I couldn't recommend him more for delivering careful, thought out recommendations and peace of mind in difficult situations.

I was involved in an alleged dui case in which I refused to take a breath test. This was not exactly an easy case to win. Chris did a great job of exploring all the options available to me and took the time to explain and walk me through these options. I had a lot of questions about what to expect an...d which route to go, Chris helped me come to the best decision. These decisions, along with Chris's skill and knowledge in the court room led to winning the case.

I contacted Attorney Coughlin after felony charges were brought against me. Naturally, I was quite upset since I'd never been advised of the nature and severity of the charges, and believed I was wrongly accused. Most importantly, Chris was extremely responsive. He was actually out of the office w...hen I first called, but as is his style, he made a point to call very quickly. We had a brief discussion outlining my situation. He then offered to meet me at his office within the next day or two. Our first meeting was a confidence builder for me, though Chris said not to make any assumptions on the outcome. He felt I had a strong case and he would try to get "the best outcome possible" for me. He explained the entire process, what to expect and the likely timing of the whole process. I decided to engage Chris and followed his every suggestion. He prepared a brief and consulted with the DA from the town where the incident took place. The brief was thorough, explained the points of law as they must be applied and how the prosecutor's case was weak, at best. At the end of the day, Chris was dead-on with his evaluation of the situation and thankfully it was "the best possible outcome". Charges were dismissed. If I ever find myself on the wrong side of the law, Chris will be the first one I will contact. It is unfortunate that the entire event escalated as it did. A good attorney such as Chris will be an invaluable resource when it comes to protecting the rights of an individual. Chris said more than once - under promise and over deliver. He did just that. I highly recommend Attorney Christopher Coughlin as someone you can trust from Day One. Thank you Chris.
