Highly Recommend

I hired Mr. Christopher M. Lefebvre, Attorney at Law, of Consumer & Family Law Center to represent me in a custody dispute. The day I called to arrange a free consultation, Mr. Lefebvre took the time out of his busy schedule to see me the same day; very personable and compassionate. I addressed my ...concerns and feared the safety of my child’s wellbeing. With Mr. Lefebvre’s patience and full attention, he wrote down all the information correctly, asked me all the important questions and gave me feedback with an absolute professional point of view. Within a day of Mr. Lefebvre’s representation, he exceeded my expectations by not only filing the appropriate documents and presenting his argument in Family court. He was also able to have my child returned to my care immediately, which brought me to tears. I have never met an attorney, such as Mr. Lefebvre, whom is highly motivated, punctual, diligent and is the epitome of what a Family Law Attorney should be. Mr. Lefebvre is not about empty promises. He achieves the results you are seeking. In due part of Mr. Lefebvre’s success of my case, he has restored the faith of the legal system in my eyes and has convinced me that anything is possible. My Family and I want to thank Mr. Lefebvre for everything he has done for us, and making our family whole again. We are forever grateful. I highly recommend Christopher M. Lefebvre to all families seeking true justice for the ones they love.

Custody cases are NOT my favorite type of matters to handle. However, there are several instances where a parent is being unjustifiably mistreated by the other parent and the child is caught in the middle. Those cases deserve immediate attention. I am glad this case had a happy ending for you.

Best Attorney I have dealt with

Christopher Lefebvre was great from the start , he allowed me to break down my case in a patient manner on the initial consultation which was a generous amount of time. He gathered all the information from me he needed on the initial consultation and was able to help me win my case and get the result...s that i desired, I highly recommend hiring him and once you do you need not stress any further. He was great at updating me on the case status and prompt with getting back to me on advice. Thank you Christopher Lefebvre!

Thanks Ryan for the positive feedback. Getting the documentation and responding to the dealership quickly did help seal the deal so to speak. I'm glad things worked out well and I enjoyed working with you.

Bankruptcy

We had filed for bankruptcy with another attorney and after our hearing one of our creditors filed a suit against us. Our attorney couldn't handle the claim any longer and referred us to Christopher. He was very prompt and assertive. Any time I contacted he responded right away and he always reassur...ed us that he had the matter under control. It was a pleasure working with him and we couldn't have made it through the bankruptcy without him.

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!
