Mr. Hutton is an excellent lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and experienced and researches every aspect of your case. Very thorough and kept me updated on any changes promptly. He will be the first I call for any advice and if needed, will retain him every time. The firm he works with is practical an...d all the employees are super friendly, especially Ms. Heather. Thanks so much for the excellent representation, I wish only that i had started my journey with the best Lawyer first!!!

Great, Attorney Will Recommend and Use Again

Mr. Hutton did a great job handling my divorce case and was very thorough in looking out for my best interest. I hope I don’t need him again LOL , but if I do will definitely not hesitate to use him again and will highly recommend.

Too notch.

Did a great job on my case! Custody visitation, communicated clearly and answered all my questions efficiently. Mr Hutton is a GAL so he is the best of both worlds.

Divorce Attorney

Christopher Hutton is an amazing attorney who possess both the ability to communicate to clients in a calm and kind way while at the same time aggressively advocating for his clients best interest. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and is an analytical thinker that operates outside of the ...box when needed to be creative and stealthy in his approach to cases. I certainly felt like the underdog that came out on top. He also returns calls and constantly provided me a roadmap of what was happening in my case from start to finish. Thank you Christopher Hutton, I will continue to recommend you to all of my friends, family, and acquaintances.

Understood my intent

Chris had a really good understanding of what was and wasn't important to me during my case. He never pushed me to do something I didn't want to do and was excellent at reading between the lines. When looking through evidence, he did a great job at piecing things together.

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.
