Excellent divorce issue attorney

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.

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.
