Quite the lawyer

Chris Renfroe, alongside his son Eric Renfroe, represented me in a wild case that ultimately lead to dismissal by the judge because Chris and Eric know the law. They know how the legal system works, they have a highly refined understanding of varied interpretations of the law and they are an awesomel...y surgical trial team. As Chris often said, we had the facts, and he stuck to that. Chris handled my case with the utmost of care and concern for my well being, looking out for my best interest at every step of the way. He went to bat for me multiple times, he really heard me even when we disagreed and he took the time to understand when some aspects of my case appeared convoluted or confusing. The entire process was a family endeavor and the Renfroe's certainly treated me as such. There were many times when I didn't feel comfortable because of my situation but the Renfroe's guided me through. Frank and Mrs. Shapiro were a welcome respite from all the nitty gritty details that engulfed my case and I found them both compassionate, honest and super intelligent. The truth is that I can only speak highly of each of them and I can honestly say that Chris will always do his best. Luckily for those of us who have him as representation, his best is the best.

Cannot be trusted

Posted by anonymous March 2021 3/2011- This lawyer did absolutely nothing for me. He advised me to take the guilty plea without explaining the future consequences. Cannot be trusted. Do not waste your time or money. Will not work in your best interest.

"Don't speak, just listen!"

Atrocious! He yelled at me and told me all I need to do was listen, and not speak. Put on a show with someone named Frank, while I was supposed to be in awe and wait until I met his son. Demanded payment at each of 3 meetings and bantered about a "bonus" related to making bail. Judgmental, lacks comp...assion, no humanity.

Above all else…

Hired Mr. Renfroe for an extremely unfortunate case against my son. I cannot state how much Mr. Renfroe helped in all aspects of our case from the day we hired him until the day my son was vindicated. He was always on point eloquent and a deeply trusted fiduciary. I hope I or anyone I know, never ...have to go through anything like that but I know who I would call if ever I had the need. Excellent service and highly recommended. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Chris.

Cannot be trusted

He will lie and also help prosecution hide important evidence that can help his clients. Cannot be trusted. Do not waste your time or money. Will not work in your best interest.
