Highly recommend

Highly recommend Chris Malinowski and his firm. I sought their help on a family matter and was provided with sound and honest advice right from the initial consult. Chris listened to and guided me thoroughly to minimize back and forth. The entire team, especially the paralegals is sharp, caring and r...esponsive resulting in super quick turnarounds.

Child support lawyer | May 02

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the privilege of working with Chris Malinowski on several occasions, with interests both aligned and adverse, and without hesitation I endorse him as an experienced, skillful, knowledgeable, thorough and prudent attorney. Chris is a zealous advocate for his clients, and it is clear that he has their best interests in mind when representing them. I have never known him to take a position that is patently unreasonable or irrational, as some attorneys are prone to do in family law cases, and is focused on obtaining realistic results for his clients. Chris Malinowski comes with the highest recommendation in family law matters."

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.
