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.

A Role Model for Legal Representation

Mr. Christian provided superb legal counsel - he and his team represented my son with exceptional skill. These quality services started from the first call made to his office to set up initial consultation all the way through to final case disposition. The thing that is so exceptional about Mr. Chr...istian and his team is the approach that was taken while representing my son. Mr. Christian was a counselor, an educator, and a role model . He took the time to become familiar with my sons contextual issues so as to povide the best representation. He explained and fully engaged my son in the process of understanding the legal process - faciliating greater understanding for decision making not only for present circumstances but also for the future. Meetings prior to court dates were always set up and executed with professionalism. We were always well informed about the legal process. Mr Christian just made a very difficult situation not feel so overwhelming producing a good outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Christian.

Excellent attorney excellent results

This is the second time that I have retained the services of Gabriel Christian & Asscoiates for a personal injury case, and their professionalism is second to none! Ms. Pratt is a consummate professional! She keep me updated on the progress of my case, and was always available to answer my questio...ns. In the future if I need legal representation Gabriel & Associates have my business because they treat me like family!

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!

So so

Gabriel and I spoke briefly about my case we spent a great deal talking about his accomplishments which was not a proper use of my time. I sought legal help instead I got very unrelated history lesson and waited 45 mins to be seen even though I had an appointment. He seemed pleasant but chovanestic. ...I decided to continue my search for an attorney.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
