Goes above and beyond

I don't write reviews but I feel compelled to do so for Mr. Stovall. I have always shied away from lawyers due to my belief of cost versus return. Nevertheless, Mr. Stovall not only gave thorough advice, handled the situation, but went above and beyond to make sure that I was satisfied with the res...ults. I have no question who I would come back to for my legal needs. What is more, I believe I will be getting more legal advice for general company matters as well.

The best lawyer that i have ever had handle any of my business affairs. "The Man"

I have used Chris in many of my business affairs when he was working for a firm in Arizona. If he did not or could not handle any of my many business legal problems Chris would direct me to a lawyer in the state that could and did help me with my business problems in that state. Chris is a down too ...earth person and a no bull kind of person. I only wish he were still in Arizona to help me with any future business legal problems that i may encounter. If you are not using Chris you are using the wrong lawyer. I will say that Christopher Reed Stovall has saved me as well as my companies countless dollars and it was a blessing from God that he put Chris in my path in life in this fallen world i which we all live in.

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.
