Highly Recommended!

I have had the distinct pleasure of working closely with both Christopher Straub and his Paralegal, Debbie Folk. I am a retired Chief of Police from New Jersey and own a NJ & PA licensed private detective business. Mr. Straub and Mrs. Folk are always extremely professional and are very responsive t...o any questions or legal guidance that’s needed throughout an investigation. Mr. Straub and his staff exhibit honesty, integrity, work ethic, communication skills and a common sense approach to get the job done with a high level of proficiency. I would certainly recommend Mr. Straub without hesitation. Bob, Sewell, N.J.

Thank you

Christopher C. Straub and staff have been working with me as POA and most recently as exectris of my parents estate. You can not ask for a more outstanding and professional lawyer than Mr. Straub. It is a very emotional and stressful time when a love one is near the end of their life. You want so...meone who knows how to handle all the legalities and do it with thoughtfulness and professionalism. When I had questions, and had a lot, they either answered each one or took care of the item for me. The stress was taken off of me with all the legal concerns I had. Mr. Straub made sure everything was done well. I recommend Christopher Straub and his professional staff when you need someone to help you with POAs and Estate Work.

Chris is a very fair and honest attorney.

Not a clock runner, very fair and honest. I used Chris in a very complicated divorce matter and though it cost a lot it was not due to him; he was very pragmatic and was always looking for a way to find a resolution quicker. From the very beginning he said try to resolve as much as possible between... myself and my ex because it will save you a lot of time and money in the long run (in my situation this was hard to accomplish). He was a little hard to get a hold of sometimes but maybe I think because of the situation and the emotions involved at the time I may be judging this a little to critically. Over all I would highly recommend Chris and his firm.

CHRIS STRAUB AND HANDLING AND SETTLEMENT OF ESTATES

I am an Auctioneer! Chris Straub and I have worked together to finalyze many many estates! He is very courteous, very open to his clients, and very willing to take my advice on appraisal values for personal property and real estate. He is very responsive to chronologically keeping estate settlements... on tract, very informative to clients on their choices of outcome, and always on my reminder list that things have to be done by this time! An 'on the ball' attorney for Estate Settlement!

Helpful and responsive

Mr. Straub was extremely helpful during my divorce. Although my ex-wife and I were able to negotiate a fair settlement between the two of us, it was good to have Mr. Straub available to discuss some of the legal issues. He responded to my calls and e-mails quickly.
