Phenomenal Experience

Chris is an exceptional lawyer who is extremely knowledgable, sincere and kind. His knowledge of the law is undeniable. But beyond his knowledge of the law, he was comforting and encouraging throughout an extremely difficult process. I have him to thank for giving me a second chance, I cannot say en...ough good things about his practice and his commitment to excellence. I highly recommend Chris, he is the best!

Goated lawyer.

I felt like I was taken care of by family in the most professional manner. If you want to be in good hands, hire Chris Beddow. Never experienced something like this and everything went the way it was supposed to.

The absolute best!!!

If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. He is by far the best and most kind hearted. Very professional, organized, and attentive. I am very lucky to have had him to help me through everything.

All Around Great

Although I worked with both Chris and Bill, it is important that I highlight how both of them, specifically Chris here, was so crucial and helpful with my case. I'll leave out the particulars, but Chris was so great to work with, being available via email, voice, text, being so knowledgeable about... the law, arguing well against prosecution, and beyond. Chris is simply a great attorney

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.
