Christopher R. vanRoden

Chris Van Roden came highly recommended by a Lawyer friend of mine. Against my better judgement, I briefly considered reconciling with my husband, and it was during that time that he told me his attorney (H.Brucker from HdG) said 'VanRoden is the best divorce attorney in Harford County'. My husba...nd was angry and said his lawyer was afraid of mine. That said, I was all alone, and my husband and his family were seemingly so much stronger & more resourceful than me. Chris advocated for me in a professional and firm manner, and I was very pleased with the results. Chris met with me the day before our Settlement Hearing and knew exactly what I wanted. He was so confident and prepared that he rarely needed to speak with me during the negotiations. Chris and I looked like an unstoppable Team. Meanwhile, my husband and his lawyer were scrambling. Chris is so highly respected in Harford County that Judges, Lawyers, Court Reporters, and Security Guards walking thru the hallways seemed proud to shake his hand. Chris wouldn't agree, but from my perspective that day, it looked like Chris Van Roden owned that Courthouse. Admittedly, I didn't like paying legal fees (no one does) but Chris was worth every penny. My new motto: Whoever said....... 'Money can't buy happiness", NEVER paid for a divorce! Thank you Chris....,for the journey, my settlement, and my freedom!

I retained Christopher Van Riden for representation. I found him to be very professional and well prepared in court. He is an attorney with integrity and I found him to be fair and honest. He was sensitive about custody issues, fair and up standing. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking leg...al representation.

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.

He is very upfront with his clients and lets us know exactly how he is approaching each case. Chris is a valued member of the legal community, so he is a great choice for a lawyer and will stop at nothing to get the job done in an ethical and efficient manner. If you need a divorce attorney, I woul...d highly recommend him because he is worth every penny.
