A noble attorney and team

Looking for a divorce attorney? Look no further! Chris and his team are AMAZING! Divorce is hard and painful, but Chris and his team always wear a smile and are willing to lend a listening ear. Tanya is so sweet and helpful. She helped me countless times with documents and questions. Chris wa...s very patient throughout the entire process. I had so many questions and he was always willing to answer, no matter via email, text, call, or in person meeting. He is very thorough and pays attention to all the little details and actually listens to your wants/needs. Divorce may be hard, but with the right attorney it becomes a little easier.

One Badass Attorney!

I was referred to Chris after my ex and I went separate ways. I had no clue where to start since I wasn’t expecting to get divorced. In the beginning I was worried because I am very impatient. Chris listened to me talk, he listened when I cried, he answered all of my crazy questions and kept reassur...ing me it would be fine. His staff is amazing. When I was in a panic they listened, always helpful, always returned phone calls. Chris and his staff treats people with respect and really cares about your feelings. I would get worried about things , they reassured me, and when I tell you Chris Conowal is so calm …until the time is right and then - HE SHOWS OUT - HE IS ONE BADASS ATTORNEY! I would give Chris and his staff 50 stars if I could.

Conowal Law

As someone who loves words, I have to admit that I first just liked saying "Conowal Law" in an announcer’s voice. But after the scheduled consultation with Chris, I immediately felt at ease in hiring him to handle my divorce case. At the consultation, he explained the basics of uncontested vs contest...ed cases, was transparent about costs, and listened as I explained my specific situation. I realized during this initial meeting that the ease of manner I see in him is the result of years of experience as an attorney (including years of service as a mediator), and I remember thinking that this guy understands the gist of my case because he's handled so many cases, that he saw a clear path forward where I just saw brambles. I imagine Chris has seen so many variations upon the theme of marital distress and has developed such a keen awareness of type over his years of practicing law that he can handle a divorce case somewhat like a chess game once he sees the layout. He guided me through the timeline, the paperwork (like the super fun financial affidavit), the proposals and counter-proposals, the TPO I ended up needing, the mediation, and throughout it all, the steps I was allowed or not allowed to take, such as adding interior slide latches for security at night before I was able to change knobs and locks after the TPO. Chris also offers multiple methods of contact - phone, email, an online portal, a text messaging service. I literally showed up when the office opened the morning after a concerning incident occurred involving my ex-spouse and was able to talk on the phone with Chris within minutes so he could explain things I needed to do that day so as to avoid sleeping in a hotel another night with my two children. During the mediation, Chris’s confident and direct communication made it easy for me not to be sidelined by the emotions of the case, and once a settlement was reached, I left his office feeling something I never expected to feel in that moment - content. For real, if I ever find out that someone is in need of a lawyer for the same reason I was, I will most definitely recommend Chris Conowal.

So caring and helpful

I highly recommend Chris and his office. They were amazing and helped me navigate through a very dark time in my life. We were able to get through a divorce in 35 days. He and his staff were there every step of the way. Thank you and God bless

Kind. Caring. Compassionate.

Where do I start? I first met Mr. Conowal when I was dating someone who had used him as his divorce attorney. He went to bat for him and did good considering it’s ga and mothers normally end up with full custody. He was able to get him 50/50 with a fair amount of child support though in my opinion a...s a mom who shares custody of my son with his father and does not want not ask for one penny as we are sharing time with our child- it should be standard in ga to not make either parent pay child support when it’s 50/50. It’s not fair to either parent. Anyways. When the mother wanted to move to Cali he initially retained Mr. Conowal then decided to go with a female lawyer. Which in the end did help him with the case but he did not get what he wanted (which worked out best for the kids in the long run). Anyways. I recently retained Mr. Conowal as my attorney to represent me against false theft charges. He has been amazing and knows what he’s talking about. I can’t imagine a better person to have on my side. He is fair and honest and Ruthless. I am thankful I know him.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I highly endorse Chris Conowal. Chris was my law clerk for over two years while he was attending law school. At that time, I observed his sharpened skills as a researcher and writer. Chris assisted me in the preparation of several of my federal prosecutions. Chris was tenacious in his endless desire to work so as to obtain the best results for our clients. Now that Chris has his own law practice, I associate him in cases where his assistance as co-counsel is warranted. Chris is a fantastic litigator and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent trial attorney. You cannot go wrong hiring Chris Conowal as your attorney."
