Worst lawyer ever

Chris didnt deliver on not one thing he said he would try his “best” on. If you want a lawyer that cares and will fight for you please look the other way! I spent 12k on him for him to not deliver and fired him and only got 6k back. He is all talk. You literally have to talk to upper management for h...im to even move. Now thanks to Chris my loved one has to sit behind bars for the holidays because instead of Chris fighting for us and being persistent and following through with what he said he could do he chose the easy way out and didnt even try to fight for us. If i ask him to at least try to do something like see about going another route he always has a response as to he thinks it wont work but he will “try” . I really believed in him but this is by far the WORSE “lawyer” ive ever encountered. He doesnt fight for you he fights against you ! 0/10 i do not recommend. Save your money and the headache!

Unanimous

After a mistaken domestic violence incident. The judge let me out on OR and gave me some papers and forms to do a program that would expunge my whole case after 4 to months. So my husband contacted Jeffcoat firm and we ended with Chris , Husk. $4500 later, 2 months wasted, he told me that he’s got t...he best possible result for me when i am about to do the same program that was offered to me before by the judge. The worst thing is, i still have to pay $650 for the program myself after I already gave them $4500. Shameful.

Terrible Experience

Turned a stressful situation into an even more stressful situation. After waiting more than a month to finally get a court date, Chris tried to convience me to leave before my hearing with the judge. He was only filling in for my lawyer on this day and adviced me the opposite of what my laywer advice...d me. The court hearing took much longer than expected and Chris made sure to let the whole court know he was annoyed by huffing and puffing. I am EXTREMELY glad I did not listen to Chris' advice and continued waiting for my hearing. The judge ruled in my favor as my lawyer had predicted and everything is good. Had I listened to Chris' advice I would be steps and steps behind getting my family back together. Horrible experience. Completely unprofessional.

Great Lawyer!!!

I had to fire a different lawyer on a criminal case that was not helping for 8 months and doing nothing for me and my wife. I hired Christopher Lusk after finding out the previous lawyer had kept vital information from me and Christopher was a great help. He helped us get it handled in a little over ...a month and I always felt he was telling the truth about everything and sharing what information he had. He would always follow up when he said he would. I would absolutely use him and his law firm again if I needed any help.

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.
