Incredibly intelligent, focused, and personable

Chris represented me in a such a superb fashion that I can only attempt to briefly describe the experience. First of all, he is brilliant--no one should try to outsmart him. Secondly, Chis is very caring and personable--it was always a pleasant experience to discuss anything about my case including... the personal side. Thirdly, and maybe most important, is that he wins and he doesn't waste a lot of time doing so. A critical part of his team is his assistant, Diane. She was always there at any time for any thing, including one specific occasion that she went way, way beyond the call of duty to avoid a potential bump in the road. Chris is a star. You want him on your side.

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.

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.

The attorney you want in your corner! Trust me.

Chris Conowal was the only reason that I will get to see my kids this Christmas. My wife an I had an argument, she sought assistance from a women's advocacy group who convinced her to trump up a TPO even though no act of family violence occurred. This stripped away my rights unilaterally. I was unabl...e to see my kids, have use of the marital home, they took my guns, and I could not come within 500 yards of her or the home. It made my life miserable for a month. Chris listened to me. He listened to my goals and my desire to save my marriage, in spite of the TPO. He walked the fine line between defending me in court, and not ruining my marriage with a nasty court case. It was impressive to watch. He and his staff were professional and very well prepared. They were like watching a team that had worked together forever. Chris was precise in his craft, and excelled in his lines of questioning and how he positioned his arguments. I could not be more happy with the service that Chris Conowal provided. I would definitely recommend.

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."
