Highly recommended

My son and I retained Christopher Van Roden this past August while going through some sensitive and serious custody issues. Attorney Van Roden came highly recommended. Its not often to find an attorney who approachs a case file with such personal considerations. We were not just a case number in a ...file. Attorney Van Roden handled our case with the same integrity in court. His presence was always professional and well prepared. While the odds were strongly against us, Chris never used the "Pollyanna" approach. He was always honest and open. I honestly believe if it wasn't for Attorney Van Roden, we wouldn't be where we are today. My son has his child and is able to continue and enjoy their relationship which cant be measured in dollars. Without Attorney Van Roden's commitment, dedication, principles, work ethic and knowledge, it could have been a very different story today. I am honored to write this review. Even if our case was lost I'd say the same. He is an outstanding attorney who approaches his personal life with the same integrity. We could all learn a good lesson by his example.

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.
