He does not play around

Chris really fights the fight. I hired Chris 5 years ago for a divorce and he really took the time to understand what I wanted and came through. He did not let the other attorney get away with his antics and ensured I got what was fair. Fast forward to 2023 when we had to be back in court. Chris ...was right back at it. He was quick in reviewing the findings and perusing what was required by the other party. The judges have a respect for him because of his knowledge and understanding of the law and what was best for our son. Things wrapped up quickly with a huge win. I hope not to need his services again but know he is the go-to in fighting for what is right and not playing around.

A smooth, successful, and low-drama divorce, just as hoped!

After making the decision to divorce, I met with a few lawyers and the decision to hire Chris was an easy one. Upon meeting him I felt instantly at ease, like he genuinely cared, and I appreciated that he was respectful of the way that my ex-husband and I wanted to conduct our divorce — as non-conten...tiously as possible. Chris was responsive and efficient, helping me understand the process and guiding me through a successful filing and court hearing. I'm grateful to be on the other side of it, and have Chris to thank for making it a smooth and low-drama process. I met with him a couple months before making my final divorce decision, which was also helpful for my process; if you're in the market or even on the fence, reach out!

Would give 0 stars if I could

Do not hire this attorney for any reason. Hired him to represent for child support review. The court case dragged on for a year and a half, in all fairness due to the pandemic but I was billed constantly for document review and other miscellaneous charges. He would go to court on my behalf and not co...mmunicate any changes on my case. When I shared with him my frustrations, he basically said fine and told his paralegal to drop me as a client. Despite being charged an arm and a leg, he would often tell me that I had to research on my own and get back to him. Awful, arrogant, greedy and incompetent in almost every way for my case. Their office is awful. His paralegal (or whatever she is) Is completely incompetent as well. Created way too many headaches as it seems she couldn't handle the simplest of tasks. Do not believe the reviews on Avvo or Google as they must be 100% fake.

Divorce

I am huge on reviews. I found Chris by seeing how amazing his reviews were and how respected he is in family court. I thought it was only fair to share with others that they are well deserved and I am grateful I chose to call him to help me through this huge life changing event. Although divorce is n...ot easy to deal with on so many levels, Chris and Meredith (the paralegal) are incredible people to deal with. Not only do they get back to me almost instantly on phone or email, but they have a personal touch that doesn't make you feel like a number or a paycheck. They actually had the answers to the questions I had and it really made me feel comfortable knowing they had my back. My case involved many aspects including my children and they took care of everything. Thank you!!!

Professional and more

Chris was a great person to work with and an even better lawyer. Chris and his team were very responsive to my emails and my needs. Our first meeting made me feel very comfortable and very easy-going. I realized after that day that working with Chris you can count on his determination and profession...alism. He was always prepared and very understanding to my needs and making sure they were met. After working with Chris and his team I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
