Posted by Ruthann | September 05, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

I needed a lawyer for a divorce.

I had never retained a lawyer before. I did not know what to expect. I called a lawyer’s office and spoke with the lawyer. The lawyer required a retainer of 3500.00 due the following week. I asked the lawyer if I could pay it in installments. She said no. I couldn’t afford that amount. I looke...d for another lawyer. I felt down and defeated because I could never afford a fee of 3500,00. I read many reviews. I was getting frustrated. One day I came upon Mr. Lefebvre’s ad and reviews. I read all the reviews and he sounded like someone I could trust. I called him that day and he got back to me ASAP. We spoke on the phone, he asked me what kind of divorce, a contested divorce or a non contested divorce. I told him it was non contested. He explained the process and his fee. He was very nice to talk to. He explained everything I needed to do and explained everything in layman’s terms so I could understand. I met him in his office the following week, we discussed everything he gave me the paperwork and documents that needed to be notarized. I will tell you he is a genuine nice man who is understanding and caring. I popped into his office many times without an appointment and they were so nice. He gave me my court date it was 2 months by Webex. His office staff was great! He treated me with kindness and respect. His fee was something I could afford. He never nickeled and dime me. Everything was done professionally, easy , and fast. I would recommend Mr. Lefebvre to anyone who needs his professional help. I would definitely use him again for any legal assistance in the future. I thank Mr. Lefebvre and his staff for everything they did for me.

Debt Case

Chris and his staff were upfront, professional and trustworthy from the very beginning. It’s a stressful time in one’s life, especially when you have to take care of your family and you experience challenges due to unforeseen roadblocks, “Covid” that can literally turn someone’s life upside down. C...hris, along with his staff Sarah were able to keep me balanced during a difficult time; they answered every call, every question, every email as if I was their only client which provided much breathing room needed through the whole process. I never leave reviews but this is definitely warranted & hope this finds people who could benefit from his service. Sincerely, Mike G

Michael: I enjoyed working with you. And I think for the most part the results were nothing short of a grand slam home run. Financial disaster can affect people of all walks of life. Fortunately, we have laws that can help honest people like yourself. Keep me mind for future legal needs. I appreciated your trust and confidence in myself and office staff.

Divorce Case

Chris was exceptional during my divorce case. Astute, honest, energetic, capable, hardworking . Many years of experience, passion for helping his clients, looking out for their well being, both as a person and financially. Cannot find a better lawyer for any amount of money.

Highly effective attorney!

Attorney Christopher Lefebvre helped me win a very tough case in Superior Court, where the outcome was uncertain. Chris is trustworthy and sharp, and he modulated my expectations from the beginning, while at the same time zeroing in on the essence of the conflict in our first meeting, laying out t...he first steps needed to increase the odds in my favor. Once engaged, he deployed his considerable experience and expertise to build the best case possible. He waded through the murky waters of my case’s history, and made sense of a complex narrative. The deposition he took was thorough and he asked all the right questions. It proved effective in avoiding a trial as well as a settlement. He delivered a successful outcome during a challenging post-pandemic period. I would hire Chris again and would consider his skills and professionalism very valuable in resolving disputes.

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!).

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
