Christopher Hunt Macturk

I made the horrific mistake of hiring Chris as my lawyer in 2008. Chris appeared to be on my side and made me think that I had nothing to worry about when going to court versus my now x husband over custody of my then 2 1/2 year old. He wound up costing me close to $7k and the result of the prelim...inary hearing broke my heart by the judge awarding joint custody to my x. Chris acted like it didn't matter to him one way or the other if I lost or won when it came to the hearing. He allowed my x's attorney to walk all over him and eventually beat him in a case that was pretty cut and dry considering I had plenty of evidence against my x to prove that I was the primary parent even through our marriage. I would not recommend him to my worst enemy. I had to hire another attorney to get me divorced because after thousands of dollars and not getting the results I wanted or hoped for, I was not about to waste anymore money or time on someone I did not trust. 9 years later, I am still fighting with my x and about to go back to court over custody again. Thanks for putting me into debt and ruing mine and my son's lives.

During my divorce I was represented by a named partner at a well known firm. I felt that my attorney wasn't working in my best interest so I interviewed several firms and chose Chris Macturk. That was the best legal decision I have ever made. Chris Macturk represented me in multiple post divorce iss...ue trials and motions over several years. Each and every time we interacted I knew he was fully engaged with my concerns. Chris is always receptive to my perspective and input, forthcoming with personal and professional opinion, and always concerned about the impact such legal matters have on the overall family dynamics, most importantly the children. He knows how to have the hard conversations with a client and understands how the client feels in such situations, a unique empathy for lawyers. Excellent representation in the courtroom where he won all 4 motions I was involved in with the very litigious mother of my sons. Chris was extremely supportive in helping me through testifying on the stand, determining best case situations for my sons custody, and establishing fair and equitable support. I have recommended Chris to everyone I know in divorce/custody matters over the years and I personally know of no better person to have backing you up while fighting on your behalf.

Mr. Macturk handled my case with reasonable outcomes and results in mind. He allowed me to fully explain my situation and focused our efforts on achievable outcomes, and did not waste time or belabor small points. I view Mr Macturk as highly qualified, experienced and results oriented. Highly reco...mmended.

...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.

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.
