Christopher Dominic Janelle

I hired Mr. Janelle to help defend myself, against a petition to modify custody my ex filed. From the very first meeting he was very straight forward and never sugar coated anything - nor made any promises he did not keep. Mr. Janelle is incredibly perceptive and professional. My situation was comple...x and confusing yet he was able to see the underlying issues and how to overcome all the obstacles I faced. He gave me all the information and advice I needed and as a bonus, he made me feel at ease in one of the most stressful situations any parent will ever experience. I left the court room with everything I asked for- and more. You will not find a better lawyer to help you with your case, even if you spend thousands and thousands of dollars. Which you most likely won’t with him, because his fees are incredibly reasonable. I highly recommend the law office of Sutton and Janelle, to anyone looking to hire a lawyer.

When my previous lawyer became a family court judge, he referred to Christopher Janelle. My child custody case was nothing short of complicated and the previous lawyer knew that Chris had the expertise to assist me. Years later, I am still thankful for that referral. Since 2008, Chris has effe...ctively represented me three times in the court room. He was always up to date on details and worked closely with other professionals involved in my case. Above all, Chris always had my child's best interest at hand and fought to protect them. When meeting with Chris, he will provide his honest feedback of one's potential case. He has the court room experience that allows him to offer his clients' realistic expectations based on the information presented. In my particular case, we actually walked away winning more than we had hoped. Unlike some lawyers, Chris will not take a case that he feels hold no merit. There had been times when I consulted with him and was instructed to let my case mature so we could gather more evidence. While this was upsetting to hear at the time, Chris was 100% correct in his professional decision. Within weeks, the case was ready for the courtroom and the extra time allowed us to present a more solid case to the judge. If I ever have to step back into the courtroom again, I will have Chris represent my case. I cannot fathom retaining anyone else. He is knowledgeable, honest, and compassionate about his work.

I visited Chris about contempt issues from a divorce in which he provided no legal assistance. He was very upfront and straight forward about what I could expect as I had not been in court before this. He and his staff communicated well and provided copies of documents as soon as they were received. ... He is extremely knowledgable in the area of divorce and was able to negotiate a settlement that was to my liking. He further represented me in an answer to a petition for appeal and additional contempt case in which we were again successful. He will not promise you the world and deliver nothing. He knows what to expect so you know what the outcome will most likely be.
