Firm dropped my case last day of my Physical Therapy

Dropped my case last day of Physical Therapy. Left with thousands in medical bills and failed to represent me. Dismissing my injuries. Had to file an ethics complaint with the Vermont Bar. Do not do business with this firm.

Chris Larson

Chris was extremely helpful to my case. He was always prepared and well organized which gave me peace of mind. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns. He made sure I had all the paperwork I needed filled out and up to date. He was also very honest with what was best for ...my family. Chris also works with a great staff who were also very kind, extremely helpful and supportive when I needed it most. I can’t thank Chris Larson and team enough for all their hard work and dedication to my case.

Pre-divorce consultation

I had a very intensive, one hour consultation with Chris Larson. I found him to be extremely thorough and knowledgeable about my circumstance -- a 23 year marriage, without children, that is ending. Even under short notice, he took the time to review, beforehand, some financial documentation and prop...osals that my husband gave me. Upon this review, Mr. Larson pointed out some red flags and opened my eyes to a possible unfair outcome. I appreciated his kindness and gentleness in what has been a truly devastating time in my life. I would highly recommend him to anyone in this dire situation. I will hire him if my husband and I cannot settle amicably.

Incredibly Informative, Professional, and REAL

I consulted with Chris about what I felt was a fairly simple divorce. The paperwork had become confusing to me, however, and I needed professional guidance despite not having children and not owning anything between the two of us. Chris was extremely helpful, set up all the paperwork I needed, and an...swered every single question I had during the process quickly and without hesitation. Simple or not, Chris is your man!

Excellent Attorney!

I hired Chris Larson to handle my divorce which ended up going to trial. I cannot say enough good things about Chris and his team! His key strengths were his knowledge of the law and court guidelines, preparation of court exhibits and negotiation skills. As a professional he was a good listener, g...ave excellent advice and kept me well informed (and calm) over the course of the proceedings. As a person he was compassionate, patient and supportive. He also worked with me to finalize my will and health proxy. If you are looking for an excellent attorney with a complete skill set, I highly recommend Chris and the members of his team.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I worked against Chris on a case, and have known him for about five years since. He's a talented writer and advocate, but what really sets him apart from other lawyers is his creativity. It is hard to find that trait in our profession (I wish I had more of it, myself), but if you're looking for someone who can set your case apart, Chris is the guy."

"Chris is a superb lawyer and an equally fine person. He is an intense and aggressive advocate for his clients because he cares about them. I say this as someone who worked with Chris on a complicated commercial litigation case. He is always prepared and thoroughly ethical. One of the good guys."

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.
