Chris Day is very professional, sharp, patient and cares about his clients. He put us at ease with our partnership agreement and took the time to explain all the questions we had. We highly recommend him.

Great Help from Juris Day

I retained Juris Day regarding a car accident. From the very beginning I received excellent advice from which held true until this matter was resolved in court. After conferring with the police officer handling my case, Mr. Day was able to reach a plea agreement on terms most satisfactory to me. I ...would highly recommend him to anyone needing help in this area.

Superb Contract Review

I seldom need attorneys but I needed a quick contract review for my senior consultant services. Chris Day was timely with his work, clearly understood the prospective agreement and advised me on all aspects of the contract. I used his recommendations to modify the contract and my client agreed. He wa...s efficient, accurate and I rate him excellent!

Extremely helpful

He greatly helped me understand the VEC overpayment waiver forms. I am not sure I would have been able to explain my situation as well without his help.

Avvo Rating

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.
