Best in Charlotte

Chris is the best in Charlotte in his legal representation. Having worked with hundreds of attorneys over my 30 years in business, he is definitely at the top. Please do not choose counsel without first consulting with him. You cant do better.

Top notch professional

Chris is an excellent attorney, he’s responsive, and he’s proactive. He and his staff not only treated me with respect, they also solved my legal issue. I could not recommend him more highly.

Highly Recommended

When our family needed legal help Chris Fialko and Taylor Goodnight of Fialko Law were counselors in the truest sense of the word.. They helped us navigate the legal system with knowledge and experience, kept us up to date on any changes in our case and advised us as to what they felt were the best ...options for us and these things made them remarkable lawyers. But the fact that they were there for moral and emotional support, more than once, makes then remarkable people. I would recommend them to anyone.

A. MAZ. ING.

A good friend of mine recommended Chris and his services. I am utterly grateful every day that I called him and that he took my case. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in great hands. He was there for me every step of the way, giving me pep talks, reaffirming me that everything was going to be ...ok, and communicating important details. He’s thorough, asks all the right questions, and knows the law. If you want winning representation, Chris is your guy.

"I'm good at what I do!"

I was fortunate to have Chris on my side when I was facing a Goliath in my life. He assured me that we can win when I thought he was selling me a dream. "I am good at what I do!" he said. I trusted him and that dream became a reality. When I think about how Chris worked with me during my Federal tria...l, proficient, congenial, careful, and thorough are a few descriptors that come to mind. I highly recommend!

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.
