Affordable legal representation

Dear Mr Lefebvre, I am writing to express my most sincere appreciation for your professional and affordable legal representation. It was a challenging time for my family and I prior to the start of your legal representation, however you were able to put me at ease by walking me thro...ugh each step until the conclusion of this case. Thanks again for such an excellent service and I wish there were more of you out in the world for clients like me. Respectfully, Amre C

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - thank you!

If I can give higher than 5 stars on this review - I absolutely would! Attorney Christopher Lefebvre and his office went above and beyond to assist on delicate matter involving a debt collection suit. Sometimes a person’s formative years can catch up on them later in life unexpectedly, which was the... situation I had involving a credit card owed many years prior that closed. It has now reared its ugly head in the form of a suit for an amount away above the credit limit. I couldn’t believe this was happening as I understood this debt was “charged off” years prior and did not think I could be sued now for such an incorrect amount. I did what most would and researched relentlessly on how to make suit “go away” and next steps needed to handle matter – which was to timely file an Answer. Next thing – I get notice that default judgment entered by the court due to an incorrect assertion by the plaintiff that I “failed to answer, plead or otherwise defend”. I was scared, nervous and confused on why/how default judgement could enter after timely filing Answer and without opportunity to be heard. Hearing the terms “default judgement” and “garnishment” or “levy” – your mind immediately takes you to dark place and your overcome by fear/anxiety of the consequences this can have on your financial wellbeing. Entry of default judgement accelerated matter tenfold, and I immediately contacted attorneys to see who help me and how best to proceed. Although I contacted many law offices, I actually spoke with few attorneys that were either aloof, unhelpful, or more concerned with a monetary agreement in place before hearing the facts further. All those I spoke with just assumed when they heard “debt collection suit” and “default judgment” that I failed to timely respond. However, my matter was different and that was NOT the case. I did what I had to do procedurally and felt default judgement entered in error – but none of the attorneys seemed to acknowledge that fact or simply did not care. I felt lost and helpless after these unsuccessful conversations. Finally a glimmer of hope came in the form of a call back from Attorney Lefebvre’s office. I laid out facts leading up to the suit, steps taken so far and willingness to settle, despite inaccuracies and request to vacate default judgment. Attorney Lefebvre listened attentively, looked up case docket and immediately sprang into action. Attorney Lefebvre agreed that default judgement should NOT have entered. Since creditor's counsel is a party that Attorney Lefebvre was very familiar with – he immediately contacted them on my behalf to propose settlement offer, request to vacate default judgment and dismiss the case. Attorney Lefebvre truly listened without judgment and reviewed case then without hesitation assisted by reaching out to other side. He asked for no compensation since he felt it was “crystal clear” default judgment should NOT have entered. Entering the legal world as a pro se litigant with little to no knowledge of laws can be unnerving and intimidating. However, Attorney Lefebvre’s straight-forward/practical approach (i.e., expertise in the law) and personable touch quelled those fears. As we wait to see what the other side will do, Attorney Lefebvre has been very transparent on the next actions to be taken and very responsive as well. Although I’m hoping for a favorable outcome that ends with the other side consenting to my initial offer/request, if not – at least I have comfort knowing that Attorney Lefevrbe will be hired to fully represent my interests during the pendency of the case. I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Lefebvre to anyone needing professional assistance or guidance with handling any precarious legal matter involving financial issues/hardships. Attorney Lefebvre and his team will go above and beyond to assist and meet your needs. They're honest, efficient, and highly reputable!

Best of a Bad Situation

Nobody goes through a divorce and says, "it was no big deal." It's a fairly traumatic experience and as such makes a person vulnerable perhaps to the point of exploitation. I know people whose divorces were dragged out and their fees became exorbitant. One might even question the motives of the lawye...rs... But this was never the case with Chris. In fact, he endorsed my communicating directly with my ex when it seemed we had reached an impasse and it hastened the negotiations tremendously. Instead of a postponement and more communications between our lawyers which could increase our fees, we found resolution in a 10 minute conversation... I always felt Chris had my best interest in mind and felt that he was fighting for a fair and equitable agreement. He isn't hesitant to point out when someone is making an unreasonable demand and will fight to protect what you are legally entitled to. He is responsive and clear in his communications and understands the many difficulties divorce can create. Chris is empathetic and will treat you with dignity and respect. From our first meeting I knew I had found the kind of lawyer I was looking for: one who is capable of protecting and fighting for my interests but who is also a human being. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone needing the types of legal services he provides and will absolutely work with him again myself (but hopefully not in the family courts!).

Lemon Law Guidance

Recently, I reached out Christopher Lefebvre for advice and guidance on a potential lemon law scenario. He was very well spoken, polite and brutally honest. He took time out of his day to understand my current vehicle issue and apprehensions. He then walked me through various frameworks on how to ...potentially handle different outcome scenarios. This was all part of a free consultation in which we spoke for a good length of time. He helped to put my mind at ease. As such I would highly recommend Christopher's services.
