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.

ONE call… YOUR BEST CALL is to Christopher Conowal for ALL of your family attorney needs!!

Being the outcast of my family, I never had a relationship with some of my siblings and pretty much kept my distance from them. When my mother passed away, I was thrown into the middle of the fight over her estate. I was constantly being served papers from their attorneys. We tried walking away not w...anting anything from them, but it wasn’t enough for them, they still found a way to harass me and my little sister. We were forced to fight back, not having the desire, time or strength to fight them, I turned to Chris Conowal and his team for help. He immediately took the bull by the horns and was prepared to put an end to the harassment and evil that was being thrown at us. Chris Conowal has a true servant’s heart and will fight to make sure that decent people are treated fair. Chris was able to lead us through the process and mediate an agreement that will forever protect us from the unfortunate ugliness that had become my family. I never thought this battle would ever end especially not in mediation; I just knew we were headed for a long court battle. BUT…. Chris showed up and showed out and this nightmare was over in just three months!!! Mediation Day came and it was all over!! My world went to spinning, I couldn’t believe that it was over!!! For the first time in my 52 years, I have peace. None of this would be possible without the perseverance of Chris Conowal. I will forever be grateful to him and never be able to say enough good things about him. Because of Chris, I’m finally free and have my life back. Call Chris…You won’t be disappointed!!

Better Call Conowal

Chris Conowal is an Awesome Lawyer!!! He worked his butt off for me as well as his assistant Diane Toal, they always answered any questions I had and responded in a timely manner, very professional. Highly recommended.

Excellent Lawyer that gets Results!!

Chris is a lawyer who doesn't pull any punches. He will tell you worst case scenarios about what you could be facing in your case. That may be scary but it’s so much better than being blindsided in the courtroom. I had a traumatic experience where my kindness of giving a stranger a ride home lead to ...me being sexually assaulted. I was lucky enough to get the man out of my car but as I frantically drove off and tried to turn around on a skinny road in the middle of the night, I found myself stuck in a ditch. Real fear started to set in after calling my sixth tow truck with no luck. At that point I became extremely upset and literally begged the next tow truck driver to help me by explaining that I had just been assaulted. As I waited for the tow truck driver to arrive, I was met by two police officers. The tow truck driver called the police thinking he was helping me. Long story short the man was charged with sexual assault, and I was charged with DUI after admitting to having a couple of drinks that evening. On the advice of Chris, I completed the risk reduction class, drug and alcohol evaluation and 40 hours of community service before going to court. I was also prepared to pay all fines the day of court. Chris was able to use that to help eliminate my DUI charge, negotiate a lesser charge that isn't on my permanent record, he kept my license from being suspended and kept me off probation. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome following one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I learned two very valuable and hard lessons that night. I truly couldn't be any more grateful to Chris for helping me weather this storm. It was a great feeling knowing that I was in good hands with a lawyer who truly cared about me and the outcome of my case.

Family lawyer | Jun 09

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."
