Exceeded Expectations

I was referred to Chris Lefebvre for bankruptcy. My ex husband was trying to file bankruptcy and listed me as a creditor as he owed a large sum of money towards me. The issue with my ex had been going on for 8 years, with different attorney's all going with no results. I have very high expectations a...s this deals with my personal life. Chris Lefebvre had exceeded my expectations and blew me away with the information he was able to locate. Not only has he assisted me with the bankruptcy but after my ex was denied bankruptcy, he went further and ended the heartache I have had with this issue for the past 8 years. Because of him, I now have closure. Payment is coming to me and could not have asked for a better result. My life can now continue without constantly looking over my shoulder.

There is nothing worse than going through a divorce proceeding only to have your ex spouse break their financial commitments. The judicial system worked well and caught a scoundrel!

Calm steading force to get the divorce setteled

Chris did a great job through a very emotional and complicated divorce. Would recommend him to everyone !!! He won't lead you down the wrong road.

Far exceeds expectations (divorce with settlement)

In my own experience, Mr. Lefebvre single-handedly shattered my previous biases I might have had for lawyers in the past. His counsel and assistance, not to mention his punctuality and efficiency, was more than impressive. He made it extremely easy for us to end a failed marriage, in a timeline that ...was infinitely shorter than I'd imagined. Lest you think all this is hyperbole, I'll elaborate, in detail, the details of my experience with Mr. Lefebvre. - First, I found Mr. Lefebvre via avvo.com. As my former wife and I decided to finally agree on the basics of a settlement and formally separate our ways, I had numerous questions in mind. As I was doing some online research, I came across Mr. Lefebvre's open-source advice (here at avvo.com) on basic facts of divorce in Rhode Island. I really liked his brevity and decided to contact him for a free consultation. - I then wanted to visit him in his office, where I find a friendly, yet straightforward approach. We went over details over the proto-settlement we agreed upon, he told me what was feasible and/or necessary and what was not. We spent around 45-60 minutes going over details. - For filing divorce based on mutually-agreed settlement, Mr. Lefebvre offers a set fee. If you want to accelerate the process, you may opt for a little higher fee. I went for the "fast-track" option. Honestly, partially influenced by my past biases about the lawyers, I did not really believe that the process will be "that" accelerated. My mistake. - The speed of Mr. Lefebvre's consultation/filing is, for a lack of better word, stunning. I'll give you the basics of my timeline: 1) my first free consultation around early December 2) I decided to hire Mr. Lefebvre around December 7 3) Due to some complications (I had to recover marriage certificate from overseas), I was able to turn in required documents (but not settlement) on December 13 (this is when clock really starts) 4) On December 21, I was able to send a preliminary list of settlement conditions for Mr. Lefebvre to pin down a first settlement draft. At this point, Mr. Lefebvre suggested he could schedule a court hearing as early as January 3!!!! My ex was out of town and there was no movement. 5) Between December 28-30, Mr. Lefebvre went to lengths and worked with us to finalize the wording. In the meantime, my ex showed the settlement to a consulting lawyer she hired on an hourly basis, who said the settlement was simply very very well-written. 6) On January 3, Mr. Lefebvre scheduled a court hearing for January 9th! He guided us through the process and we had a court order for divorce in about 10-12 minutes!!! That's my experience. Mr. Lefebvre made it extremely easy for me to go through a very stressful process in an extremely smooth fashion. I highly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation and will consider him first for any issues I may have relating to the areas where he specializes.

Amazing lawyer

I consulted Chris with a complex car purchase I had made from another state. He actually took the time to review every facet and detail of my situation and gave me my best possible options. He never pushed me in any direction or for payment and he was very prompt and honest in our email conversations.... I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Posted by Catherine | January 20, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Honest and hardworking

Attorney Lefebvre went above and beyond for us. My husband and I were fighting for visitation of his daughter. Attorney Lefebvre didn't beat around the bush when it came to pricing and what we could reasonably expect to happen when we went to court. It was a breath of fresh air to have an honest and ...hardworking attorney who was on our side and whom was well educated on the matters at hand. If you want someone who will work hard for you and stay in contact, you will not find anyone better than Attorney Lefebvre.
