Highly recommended

Mr. Christian is a good man. He takes his time to pray with you and explain everything you need. He understands the values of family and how important it is for young males to havw their fathers in their lives. I appreciate all that he has done for my family and I and I will recommend him to anyone....

Dedicate, detailed and experienced attorney

Mr. Gabriel was an excellent lawyer for my family. He was always genuine, honest, focus, helpful, graceful and a detailed lawyer. Living overseas finding a lawyer to deal with a custody case was hard. Mr. Gabriel made our journey easy. He spent time explaining to us what we were up against. He listen... to our concerns and he directed us in the most professional way. Not only was he a professional, he was spiritual and he always prayed with us (we loved that). We were truly blessed to have such a lawyer. I remember on one occasion we visited Mr. Gabriel we had to consult with him, his team allowed us to stay 5 hours to get our materials ready for court after office hours. This is dedication! Like I said we lived overseas. Somehow he was able to always find time for us. Mr. Gabriel and his office is truly the best set of attorneys we came across. He is dedicate to his clients, informative, communicates well, he motivates and is experienced. Should you want a lawyer that is going to be honest with you and do all they can to get you the best result he is your guy! I know in America it is hard for father to receive full custody and with Mr. Gabriel by our side we were able too! This is the kind of lawyer anyone should want. A lawyer who beats the odds and never misguide you. Thank you again Mr. Gabriel!!!!! I am so thankful of the service he provided and your kind words that allowed us to be at ease. You are simply the best!

Thank you for service with a kind heart.

It was clear that Attorney Christian was extremely knowledgeable, an expert rather, in the legal field. He listened compassionately as I spoke of a painful custody battle then Gabriel calmed me and informed me simultaneously. I left the firm already feeling as if a huge weight had been removed.

Child Custody

My experience and outcome were both outstanding. I informed Mr. Christian as to what I want the outcome of my case to be. He listened and informed of the limits. Once we entered the courtroom Mr. Christian fought what he believes was in the best interest of my child and I. At the end of the trial, t...he judgement by the judge was 99% in my favor. I highly recommend anyone needing an attorney to take advantage of his services.

Conniving and Arrogant

I am in an ongoing custody battle seeking someone experienced. I was referred to Troy Lowe at Gabriel Christian. Once I got there not only was no one in office but after paying a consultation fee I was lied to, the attorney I requested no long works there. Gabriel tried to convince me he is capable o...f handling my case but who wants to work with someone who lied to get you in the door. Very unprofessional and untrustworthy I wouldn't recommend.

No one at our office recalls you, or having served you, on the basis of your being desirous of seeing Attorney Troy Lowe. You could have never been a client of mines if you wanted to retain Attorney Lowe. We would have sent you over to him, as he remains a trusted "Of Counsel" of our firm. Your comment is either the product of some misunderstanding or something more sinister. We strive to be humble in service and never to be arrogant. You must be mistaken. Good luck and God bless you!

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.
