Guardianship

We sought Mr. McClurg's legal advice regarding guardianship of our niece. He was extremely thorough in reviewing our concerns and addressing what solutions were possible. There is no doubt he knew the law extremely well as he advised us quickly on what our possibilities were. He followed up his ad...vice with research on similar cases to present evidence to us on how the case might proceed. He also helped us minimize our legal costs. I definitely recommend Mr. McClurg for guardianship and custody issues.

Confident, trustworthy

I love a professional that makes you feel he knows what he's doing. Mr McClurg came highly recommended, and he did not disappoint. Through almost 2 years of a contract lawsuit, Chris McClurg was on top of things. He prepared and guided me through a deposition that I think was supposed to intimidate m...e, but with Chris by my side.....did not... The case was eventually settled to my satisfaction. My rating for "keeping me informed" was good/average because they told me things on a need to know/actionable information basis....so I got emails or calls a week or so before the deposition and the court date (enough time to reorganize my schedule, make hotel bookings etc so maybe it was more like 2 weeks) . There were sometimes, months, when I didn't hear anything. That was enough information/updating for me but might be too little for others.

Child custody case

I have know Chris for years and when it came to needing a lawyer, Chris was first on my list. The main thing with Chris is I was sure he would tell me the truth even if it was not what I wanted to hear. Also he has been around the courts in Gwinnett county for a long time. If you are in need of repre...sentation call Chris.

Divorce Attorney

So far in spite of a difficult divorce, Chris has truly payed attention to what is important in my case. Even though the opposing party has created a circus, Chris really cares about his clients and his focus is on target. He was recommended to me and has not let me down yet. I will be recommending... him to others with no reservation.

Exceptional experience.

I worked with Chris over the course of several years, with multiple interconnected business issues. At every occasion Chris was extremely competent, thorough, and professional. If you are looking for a business law partner for your company, you found him.

"Chris' zeal and advocacy define legal tenacity. His clients truly benefit from his keen understanding of the law and the nuances thereof - nuances most other lawyers routinely overlook.

He never leaves any stone unturned in his quest to find remedies to his clients' complex legal issues.

Personal injury lawyer | Oct 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Chris and I have worked together on several cases and he brings to each matter a wealth of experience, keen legal insight, and tireless advocacy for each client. Recently, we handled a personal injury case which settled, without the need for a trial, for $200,000.00, which also meant that our client did not have to go to trial and re-live a horrible experience all over again. As a C.P.A. and a licensed Georgia attorney, as well as previous experience working for a Fortune 500 company, Chris brings his unique education, experience, and practical solutions to each legal matter and for each client. He is always glad to proceed to trial, but realizes that a trial is not always in a client's best interest. Chris has also been lead counsel with me on several other types of cases, such as family law, probate, business, criminal defense, and appellate. In each case, Chris has brought his unique insight and energy to bear for the good of our clients."
