A Very Good Experience

I felt that Chris was very empathetic to our situation. We never had to wait or wonder what was going on. He was honest and realistic. I felt the fee charged was very fair. I highly recommend Chris.

Thorough, Proffessional & Responsive

Chris guided me through a fairly complicated separation agreement during a difficult time. From beginning to end, he was highly professional, understanding and, importantly - responsive. I always knew I could send him an e-mail or leave a voicemail and get a quick response...not the endless excuses... you sometimes get as if you are not one of the "important" clients. He always took the time to explain things to me, present options and then push forward on whatever decisions we made. I highly recommend Chris for any legal representation you may consider.

Post conflict summary

...This was an unbelievably stressful experience with high stakes (children). I fired the first attorney and then landed with Chris Macturk at Barnes & Diehl who came highly recommended. The difference was like night/day. This was a very contentious conflict against an aggressive law firm. Chri...s performed exceptionally well for me and was a calming influence in those times that required just that. If a client, or family member of a client is in the unfortunate circumstance of needing this service, Chris could be a great guy to talk to.

Simply Not Very Good!

Chris handled my divorce case. The case turned into a debacle with my husband getting everything. The only thing I got was an enormous bill from Mr. Macturk. I cannot express, in words, my great disappointment with the services Chris provided. Please do you due diligence before you hire this att...orney. I do not recommend that you hire this attorney.

The worst attorney money can buy in Richmond, VA!

I had the great misfortune of working with Christopher Macturk. You can imagine what the balance would be with that type of charge for copying alone. Mr. Macturk didn't seem to care one way or another how things worked out in court. Mr. Macturk also is not a very persuasive advocate and is becomes ...quite uncomfortable if things become contentious in the courtroom. In short, I felt like Mr. Macturk could not have care less about my case and did me a great disservice by even accepting my case.
