Didn't do much

I was going thru a divorce and needed an attorney to make sure the paperwork provided to me by my soon to be ex-wife was appropriate. I hired Chris and paid him up front. I did 95% of the work along with his assistant. He did nothing to help me or the outcome of my divorce. Luckily my ex wife and I w...here on good terms and I wasn't taking for to much. I heard great things of Chris, however he did not impress me.

Brilliant, Passionate, Dedicated and Professional

Chris Conowal is a giant in his field. He fought my Goliath and won. Chris took my case without hesitation even though it had already been a very long and complicated divorce case. I just wished I had found him in the beginning. My case went all the way up to the appellant court and even became ca...se law. In the third year of an almost 6-year divorce, Chris picked up the ball and ran with it. Within, a short time he knew my case inside and out. Chris represented me in a jury trial and brought a victorious closure to a very long process. He fought for me like no one else had ever fought. Chris Conowal was outstanding in court! Chris knew my case so well and put his heart into everything he brought before the court. He was respectful to everyone in the courtroom, from the judge to opposing counsel, from the jury to the bailiffs. Not only is Chris Conowal a great attorney, he is a great man.

Consultation

I already had my paperwork and needed some assistance reviewing everything before filing for a divorce. He walked me through every single step I needed to take and made sure that I had covered every topic on the paperwork. He made the process so much smoother than I thought it was going to be.

Beyond thankful for Chris, Diane and Karina

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for Chris, Diane and Karina. Unfortunately, my reasoning for reaching out to Chris was to guide me in the process of filing for a divorce after almost 13 years of marriage. Filing for divorce was the toughest decision I have ever had to make. My husband at the ...time and I have 3 minor children together, which as you can imagine, makes filing for a divorce even more difficult. Thanks to Chris, Diane and Karina’s hard work, we were able to reach the best possible custody arrangement for our family. Chris always, and I mean always, had my family’s best interest at heart. I trusted Chris fully and I am so thankful I did. Chris is honest, has always communicated well with me, always prompt in his responses to my (very lengthy) messages, never has rushed me in anyway, always has taken the time to ensure I understood the “legal” part in this process. And again, I do not feel I can stress this enough, Chris, Diane and Karina were always there for me and my kids, always! There was a few times, during this process, I've called the office in tears, Diane has been the best support I could have ever imagined having. I love her for her caring heart, she truly, truly cares! This office communicates well with each other, anytime I have spoken to Diane, Chris always followed up with me. I truly cannot thank Chris, Diane and Karina enough for their assistance, time, and hard work. I will be forever grateful and thankful for Chris, Diane and Karina and would highly recommend them if you are looking for a divorce attorney.

Mediation

Somehow by the grace of god Chris had the ability to settle my divorce in mediation. My attorney, my ex husband and his attorney did not think we would be able to settle, but Chris made it happen. Chris was professional, reasonable and knowledgeable about finances and child custody. He made this long... and challenging process less stressful. I would recommend Chris as a mediator over and over again.

"I have known Chris for many years. I attended undergraduate school and law school with Chris and now have the honor of being his partner at Conowal - Welch, LLP.

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."
