comprehensive representation

"Chris", as he prefers to be called, focuses on family law and criminal law; providing excellent defense in both. Chris truly cares for his clients and tries his best to accommodate them. Personally, i struggled finding a defense in town that felt interested in my case, but with enough searching I fi...nally settled on Chris, and he did not disappoint. I Can now happily say that I can raise my kid in a proper home environment. Thank you Chris and thank you to your staff.

Criminal Defense

Attorney Lyden represented my daughter on a legal matter where she was wrongfully charged for defending herself. He was able to get the charge dismissed. I highly recommend him if you need an experienced and knowledgeable attorney.

Posted by anonymous | November 24, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

PFA defense

Chris started the divorce process and my wife decided to file a PFA after finding out about the divorce. Chris was hired to defend the PFA. Chris left out a lot of crucial information. Evidence like my wife calling me repeatedly after getting me removed from my house. She showed up at my work and I h...ad to call law enforcement to have her leave me alone. Chris left important details like this out and didn't even bring them up. My wife brought her boyfriend and her mother to run my name down. My wife also added sexual assault allegations at the trial. The judge enacted a two year PFA, he stated that he was doing this because he had no idea what was going on. Chris then took even more money to try to get this reheard. I fired him and my new attorney looked over the case. She was so disgusted with Chris's performance. In her words " Chris took a wiffle ball bat to a major league ball game".
