I needed a lawyer for a divorce.

Phenomenal!
I was referred to Chris in the middle of very tense divorce proceedings….. I was leary and anxious but he exceeded all my expectations! He jumped right in and was on top of every detail promising me a fair and just outcome and consequently delivering. Highly highly recommend !

Easiest divorce ever
I called Christopher Lefebvre on a Monday morning inquiring about a divorce. I was given a more than fair attorney fee. I agreed to proceed with the process. He and his staff couldn’t have made things any easier or faster. The whole communication of what to do and how were given in perfect d...
Some couples want to get the process done yesterday. If a couple has an agreement, then the Rhode Island family Court generally gets a 10/10 rating in my opinion getting cases assigned quickly for resolution.
