Family Court
Chris was the second lawyer I worked with on a series of hearings that my first lawyer couldn't seem to resolve. Chris cleaned up the damage the first lawyer did. He handled the plaintiff's lawyer and the judge with respect and authority. He negotiated the agreement swiftly and effectively. Chris...

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...

Consumer intimidated
I chose to meet with Mr. Lefebvre for a free consultation (no money was involved) based on the five-star rating of this firm. I sought counsel to understand my rights as a consumer given a breach of contract by a vendor. His manner and treatment were intimidating from the moment I entered his office....
I regret that you were dissatisfied during our consultation. I take all comments-good or bad-to heart. A prospective client's observations and opinions are important to me. I hope you find an attorney that will better serve your potential needs. I remember our meeting vividly. Your suggestion that I "shouted" at you is simply not true. I am definitely not shy or meek and regularly talk loud. I am opinionated, I cut to the chase and tell it the way I perceive it to be. I think this is a fair approach especially when providing a free consultation to a prospective client. That approach has worked well for me over the past 30 years. Based on my experience, most potential clients appreciate frankness and honesty. Others may find this style intimidating. You believed that you had a potential claim against someone that could be addressed in the Rhode Island court system. I disagreed. I looked at your documents, listened to the relevant facts and gave you a straightforward opinion based upon my 30 years of experience. The fact that you did not like my opinion does not mean that I was dismissive of your alleged claims.
"I endorse this lawyer. Chris is a great Bankruptcy and Divorce lawyer with vast knowledge and experience."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Lefebvre is one of the finest attorneys in RI. I highly recommend his legal services."
"I gladly and strongly endorse this lawyer. Chris knows lemon law (and lots more). He has had some spectacular court victories. His clients like him and lawyers respect him. But more than anything else, he wins. You put all that together and what you have is an attorney you want on your side every time. I highly respect him and endorse him to you."
