Exceptional Legal Representation by Christopher M. Lefebvre
I enjoyed working with Christopher M. Lefebvre during my bankruptcy process, and I couldn't be more impressed with his exceptional service. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication set him apart as an exemplary legal representative. Christopher's prompt provision of my bankruptcy discharge a...
Thank you for the kind words. I am starting my 36th year of practice. Unfortunately, times are turbulent, and I suspect that bankruptcy filing will be on the rise. I am glad that the process worked well for you. I am far from perfect, but I do try to get individuals in need of bankruptcy through the system quickly, competently and efficiently.

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 !
I have a representaion of being able to jump into a pending divorce mess and get to the finish line quickly. Unfortunately, many lawyers like to waste time and their client's money focusing on minutia. I do not do well with minutia. There are many issues in a divorce case that deserve thoughtful deliberation. But there are also many issues that do not, and a good lawyer needs to educate their clients accordingly.

He was able to provide education as to the best way forward in my situation. Attorney Lefevre was able to provide guidance during a very difficult time in my li...
I am one of the few lawyers that spends a lot of time with potential clients trying to understand their situation over the phone. Why? because I want to make sure I understand their precise need for representation and most importantly I want to determine if I can help them.

Doesn't mess around! Great lawyer
I really liked working with Chris - He helped out a family member and I was highly involved. I have worked with my own lawyers in the past and I wish I had worked with Chris in my family court / custody case. He is fair to the client, but doesn't stop until he gets what he wants with the opposing p...
