Wonderful family law attorney

I was very fortunate to find Chris and be able to have him work with me on my modification of child support case. Having been through the legal process before and worked with other attorneys, I know how important it is to find an attorney that is a good fit. Lucky for me, Chris was a great fit. He al...ways kept me very informed and I always knew exactly what the next steps were in my case. My case involved several unusual issues, yet he knew exactly the right way to approach my case and was very direct in how we needed to handle things. I highly recommend him. Having to go to court to handle personal legal matters is stressful enough. Having an attorney that you trust and feel comfortable with helped me because it was one less thing to worry about.

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.
