Kris Andrew Wampler

My custody case was textbook and simple, however this was a challenge for Kris. My opinion is that his actions did not reflect an experienced, or skillful litigation attorney. Opposing counsel, kept him frazzled and on the defensive. When he reached out to Sr counsel for help my case his mentor L...aura Budd remained disengaged, and unavailable for days at a time which contributed to his frustration. Kris and his team missed several deadlines, which lead to me to processing my own paperwork to avoid missing key milestones. Kris submitted files to opposing counsel late, and sent confidential discovery financial documents to inaccurate addresses or phone numbers on multiple occasions. Not only was Kris late the day of our court hearing ; he was the first to offer an out of court settlement to opposing counsel despite my clear instructions to the contrary. This attorney did not listen or work in my best interest. We argued incessantly due to his inability to listen, foster client relationships, leverage resources and overall litigation inexperience. Some time has passed, and my custody journey is over. I retained a new attorney after the court incident, and although opposing counsel remained the same; the difference with an experienced and skilled attorney was clear. . Kris & his firm kicked me when I was down, and did not listen or help. My goal is to prevent anyone else from experiencing such a travesty, when the custody battle is traumatizing enough. When I first met Kris he was signing off on a withdrawal document from another client and this should have been an omen of things to come.
