The exemplification of professionalism

The professional atmosphere is obvious as soon as you walk through the main door of the Law Offices of Gabriel Christian & Associates, LLC. Mr. Christian recently represented my son in Court. From the beginning, I felt a sense of comfort, almost as if I'd placed my son in his father's care. Mr. Chri...stian is an expert in his field. He is a professional whom is extremely detail-oriented with a keen understanding of the law. He is very unique in his methods of handling his client's defense. He is a man whom is very comfortable praying with his client, before, during and at the end of the process. He took his role of Counsel very seriously as he mentored, encouraged, advised and guided my son through the process. He required specifics from my son that forced him to reflect not only on his situation at the time but also about his future. He listened to him; spoke to, and treated him very much like he was dealing with his own son. As a parent, those qualities were very important in selecting a lawyer. Mr. Christian is very impressive and there is an obvious sense of respect for him within the Court system. I am thankful that the outcome in my son's case was positive. My family and I owe an immense amount of gratitude to Mr. Christian. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of outstanding representation. He is extremely credible, is the consummate professional and he takes people skills to another level. Thanks again, Mr. Christian!

Awesome.

I was referred to Mr. Gabriel Christian and Ms. Evann O'Donnell by a friend of mine because I was in a difficult situation during my divorce proceedings. From the moment I walked into Mr. Christian’s office, it felt like he was empathetic to my situation. He kept telling me "God bless you" every time... we would meet. He did everything in his power to help me to resolve the dispute. I was on a payment plan to finance Mr. Christian’s service. There were months where I fell short on our regularly scheduled payments due to unforeseen circumstances. Mr. Christian never pressured me for a payment, and he worked with me financially until I was able meet my obligation. I have dealt with attorneys who have refused me legal services until I was current on my payment plan. Mr. Christian did not do that to me. Not to mention that his service resulted in me being granted a highly favorable decision in court. I know that the Master would not have granted me such a highly favorable decision if I did not retain Mr. Christian and Ms. Evann O'Donnell.

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.

Replied last September 24, 2020

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!
