Great Lawyer - Detailed & Really Cares - Truly Advocates for You!

He was my lawyer for a complex custody case. This was my second time in litigation for the same case. During this second time around, I interviewed 3 different lawyers and chose Chris and I'm very glad that I did. He practices in Maryland and Virginia which is rare, and something that I needed for my... case. He took an extensive amount of time for the consultation to truly understand the issues that I was experiencing and why I needed representation. He listened to me throughout the process and didn't do things without consulting with me first and never pressured me into doing things. He gave me the pros and cons of different options so I could make the best decision and tried to save me money wherever he could. He told me the whole truth of the situation without making guarantees never just telling me what I wanted to hear to try to get me to do things to make him more money. He also always stood up for me and continued to advocate for me when the other side was being unreasonable. He was a breath of fresh air especially compared to my first lawyer. For multiple reasons including the pandemic the case got dragged out for over 2 years but I'm glad that I had Chris on my side. He is ethical, reasonable, and if he is not familiar with something he takes his time to research so he is always prepared. The amount of effort he took to prepare for my case far exceeded what the other side's council put in which I think had a big impact of the results. I'm going to continue to use him for other areas of law if I ever need assistance and I've already referred people to him for their own situations.

Truly cares about your case & your best interest.

This is my second time in the court system for the same divorce. Mr Wampler is 100% the opposite of the lawyer I hired the first go-around. I hired him after consulting with a couple different divorce lawyers. He, again, was the only one to really listen and comprehend my situation. In just the consu...ltation alone he offered a solution and told me how he would be able to help me. I have never once felt as though his intent is to waste my money or time. He wants what is best for my son and I the same way that I do. If I ever need an attorney for anything else, I will hire him again. Do yourself a favor and get him on your team.

No results after thousands of spent dollars

Wampler did nothing in my case, but charge for consults with his staff (non-attorneys), making copies, and emails that relayed no relevant information. Thousands of dollars and no results.

Great advocate!

We used Mr. Wampler to represent us in a suit against an auto dealer that had breached our contract and attempted to defraud us out of thousands of dollars. Thanks to Mr. Wampler's persistence, expert knowledge, and tenacity, we won our suit. I strongly recommend this attorney.
