Complicated Custody Case - truly went above and beyond with a solid strategy!

Chris was not my initial choice to help answer a custody complaint served against me; although he should have been! After I started to feel uncertain about my current counsel, I called him to see if he’d be willing to take my case. He cleared up a lot of confusion from my last counsel and immediatel...y took me under his wing. While his course of action was not a popular one with other attorneys, he alone encouraged me to respond back, request dismissal of the complaint and claim that jurisdiction didn’t belong to NC. Nothing about my case had an easy answer as I lived multiple time zones away, and he was honest in giving me no promises to the outcome. I took a leap of faith with him while he rallied with his partners and committed to extensive research on the UCCJEA. Chris knew that time was of the essence with my case and he kept me as one of his top priority clients since day one! When I retained an additional attorney from outside the state, he stayed in lock step with him all the way until the conclusion of our UCCJEA hearing and seamlessly “handed off the baton“ once my case was dismissed in NC and moved to out of state. Chris really led me through what I felt looked like a truly bleak situation into believing that I actually stood a chance in this custody battle that crossed over state lines. Although my case went forward in another state and things were far from over, Chris played a substantial role in allowing me to be the mother with the ability and the right to be present in the everyday life of my little one. I am forever grateful for him and his partners for all of their counsel in my case.

Excellent Attorney and Legal Team

I first consulted with Mr. Reinhardt over two years ago after searching for the best family lawyer in Asheville. Not long after my custody case exploded and throughout the process, which continues to this day, the entire staff has been absolutely incredible. Although Mr. Reinhardt has been my attorne...y or record, over the course of my case I worked with almost every member of the firm, including Mr. Bull and Mr. Dow, who stepped in to help when they were needed. Through numerous court appearances, depositions, negotiations and conferences everyone at Bull & Reinhardt exhibited the utmost in legal professionalism; I always felt like I had the advantage with their team in my corner. As my case draws to a conclusion, I can say without a doubt that I made the right choice for representation.

Highly competent and professional!

When I first interviewed Chris Reinhard as a potential candidate for divorce I was facing, he told me that his strength was being well prepared. I found that to be exactly the case. He was able to rapidly get up to speed with the complexities of my situation, and quickly choose and implement a cours...e of action. In the moment, the main benefit for me was having the peace of mind of knowing that I was with someone who is extremely competent, and was able to choose the best course because of his thorough understanding. In that case and other since then, My experience as always spend highly professional, and the results as good as one could reasonably expect. I would definitely recommend him to a friend, and seek his counsel as needed in the future. David

Divorce, Single Father

Chris was very knowledgeable and resourceful. From consulting with him in the beginning of my marriage failing to finalizing the paperwork, his council helped me through one of the toughest experiences of my life. Chris did an excellent job providing representation for me and making sure my best in...terests were met.

Chris came through for our family!

Unfortunately my family needed legal services several years ago. Fortunately, Chris Reinhardt came highly recommended. Chris was professional, prompt to return calls, and guided us through a legal minefield. He was genuinely interested in a positive outcome for us and kept our family in tact and w...e can't thank him enough. I hope I never have to use his services again, but would not hesitate if the need arose. Thank you Chris!
