Family court

This was my first time ever having to deal with court and a lawyer. Chris made the process unbelievable easy. He was a great help, could answer any questions I had, and got me the best outcome possible. I couldn't recommend him enough, his professionalism and attitude is second to none.

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.

Best Family Court Attorney

I have been using Chris for years being back in forth in family court with my ex. Unfortunately my ex and I don't get along so we are always in court to have a discussion made. I apricate Chris and all he does as he will also give me advice and guidance on the situation. I will continue to use Chris ...as long as it is needed.

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.
