Very disappointed in outcome/performance

My case is rather unique as I do not live in the United States and had to essentially battle my spouse from a great distance. So for 5K, I received a ruling from a judge (emergency order) where I was told that I could not sell a premarital asset (houseboat) because my spouse claimed she was living on... it at the time (which is illegal btw). Anyway, she has a good-paying job and really no bills and I ended up with the responsibility of paying for the boat and it's upkeep and pay half of her attorney fees along with maintenance costs. So this action cost 5K in fees and 3K in her fees and to continue is going to cost another 5K. At the point I simply walked away from the process as I felt there were plenty of alternatives we could have approached the other side with and we didn't do it. So now I am out the 5k and the boat, even though we could prove she has a boyfriend.

Re-adoption

Our son was adopted internationally several years ago. We needed to do a re-adoption in order to get his vital records in the state of Georgia. Chris Conowal was wonderful in helping us achieve this. He is honest, professional and caring. We were informed of what we needed to do each step of the ...way and he made us feel like we were the only case he was handling. His office staff was friendly and responsive, too. We would not hesitate to use him again for any situation!!

Conowal HAS to read the law book every night before bed! OUTSTANDING!!

Chris Conowal and his team are OUTSTANDING!!! Mr. Conowal is a strategist and he TRULY cares about his clients. I hired Conowal on THREE separate occasions, and he has WON every one of them. Most importantly, my divorce and custody case. He and Diane got me through one of the hardest things I have ev...er had to do, keeping my child's best interest at heart the WHOLE time!! From the initial meeting they were responsive to ALL my calls/emails, ALL issues were handled professionally and timely. Mr. Conowal was VERY powerful in court and DID NOT back down. After seeing him in action the very first time in the courtroom, I KNEW I would NEVER use anyone else. The man fought my case in front of the judge like he read the law book every night before bed! I have total confidence in highly recommending Mr. Conowal to anyone and everyone (which I have and all that has hired him after my referral, was in fact VERY pleased!)! He WILL NOT disappoint you! He is the one person I would always want on my side!!

Divorce Modification

Chris helped with my custody modification as well as getting my financial obligation adjusted to my current employment. He was always professional, prompt, willing to listen and answer my questions. He has a vested interest in his clients and cares about them as well. My main goal was to get my kids ...an equal amount of time as my ex, he was able to help me accomplish that. As well as, other issues that I was taken advantage of on the initial divorce decree. I pray I don't need a lawyer ever again, but if I do, he will be the first and only one I call on. Thank you Chris for your support and everything you did for me and my family.

***Highly Recommended***

Mr.Conowal went above and beyond my expectations in regards to my personal injury case. Throughout my case he displayed extensive legal knowledge and great communication skills. Not a time went by that I did not know the status of my case. Mr.Conowal is not only highly professional but extremely per...sonable. He will not take no for an answer and that made me feel confident in my case. He helped me receive the settlement I deserved.

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."
