Would give ZERO if possible

Laziest lawyer on the planet. Impossible to reach. Assistant is rude. Puts a great, award winning act on in your first meeting. Don’t think he went to law school. Read other negative reviews on google, the good ones written by him- it’s so transparent, the bad ones were my identical experience. ... Makes me wonder about AVVO if they’re claiming he’s good. Really makes me wonder.

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.

Knowledgeable and empathetic

I came to Chris at a very frustrating point in my divorce. He was able to look at the steps I’d taken and set me on a path that was going to get the ball moving and my divorce settled. Not only did he get me there (Cheers!) but he was able to do so in a way that was considerate of my Ex, keeping th...e peace while still doing what was necessary to get us to the end game. He was a pleasure to work with and if I ever need another attorney he’s the one Id recommend in a heartbeat!

Divorce representation

Chris and his team has been exceptional in handling my divorce. It was a long process that required a personal touch in which Chris delivered in the most professional manner. Never at any time did I feel like I was not being represented properly. He was always there to answer any questions ether by p...hone or email, always putting my best interests first. I must admit that did my homework in researching the best lawyer that I could get in handling my situation, since my ex wife lives 3 states away. Chris's reputation and expertise always came on top. If you want to be put first, I strongly recommend Chris and his team.

5 stars isn’t enough!

Chris and his team were great to work with and made the entire process much less troubling. Wether by email or phone, Chris and Meredith were always there to help throughout the entirety of my divorce and I am extremely grateful.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
