Christopher Detwiler

I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional service provided by Christopher Detwiler and his team. They not only delivered on their promise to handle my case efficiently but also managed to get it dismissed in a remarkably reasonable time frame. Their professionalism and dedication are truly comm...endable. I highly recommend to anyone in need of legal representation.

The greatest in the area

Mr. Detwiler was very thorough and set my expectations upfront. He was always available for my questions and concerns and he put me at ease throughout the entire process. He possesses a thorough knowledge of the law and defended me until the end of the process. He has an extensive knowledge of the ju...dicial system and has affirmed relationships throughout the area. I would 10/10 recommend him to anyone. And his team at his law firm is superb. They are comforting, detail oriented, and reliable. I would also like to give a shoutout to Kaitlyn, she is the best. Look no more for a lawyer, he is worth every dime.

Attorney

To be honest there are not enough words to describe how mazing Chris, is at what he does and to top it off he has the best team in his office I've ever worked with. They update ypu in all the upcoming cases, not just phone calls but text messages. I hope I never need him again but if I did he will al...ways be my first choice. I really appreciate you guys for your work and working with me. Again no words can describe how amazing these guys are. It

Persistent and Resourceful!

I had a car accident in late December 2018 and the initial hearing was in February 2019. Chris was not only able to push the case further due to lack of my insurance paperwork, but managed to get my entire case DISMISSED at the very last minute once all of the required documentation was provided. I w...as so anxious that it wouldn’t work out since my insurance had no sense of urgency during such a hard time, but he made it work and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief almost 4 months later.

Gets the job done!

Understands the law very well and can explain well to a layperson. Got my case dismissed and overall did a fantastic job! Would definitely recommend.

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.
