Great attorney

Chris was able to get the defendant in my case to agree to everything I asked for. Chris is a very efficient and talented attorney. I would recommend him to any friends needing legal assistance. Thanks Chris.

Posted by Mandy | July 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

proven excellence!

My family and I have hired Mr McClurg over the past 11 years for various issues (domestic, civil, criminal) and have recommended him to many friends. One of his best attributes is his drive to gather all information and understand how it can help your case. He isn't afraid of a challenge and resear...ches all areas to ensure that he has done his absolute best in providing all solutions available to you. He is open and honest with his clients and he has a knack for thinking outside of the box. There is no doubt, anytime I need any legal advice or representation, he is our go to guy!

Aggressive, knowledgeable, and honest

I have known Chris on a personal and professional level for many years. He is very trustworthy and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable with him taking my case as well as representing my daughter in the same incident. The case was a family issue that could have went either way and could have ult...imately jeopardized my job and life. From our very first conversation regarding the case I felt at ease that he would handle it. He was confident and reassuring and that speaks volumes when having to deal with the court system. I have and would recommend him. We were very pleased with the outcome of out case and with how Chris handled it.

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.

great experience!

Personally I felt like Chris was a great guy to work with and felt confident in his abilities to handle my case. He did a phenomenal job! I really felt like he was someone I could talk to, someone who would hear me and totally trustworthy. I really am thankful for him and would most definitely use hi...m again as well as recommended him to anyone who needed a good, smart and knowledgeable attorney. Great guy too!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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. If you are considering an attorney for any legal concern, I highly recommend that you hire Chris McClurg."

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."
