Excellent Attorney - Highly Recommend

In what I thought would be an otherwise very contentious and extremely drawn out divorce process ended up not being the case at all. Chris Conowal and staff provided exceptional guidance and his experience played a key role in finalizing my divorce during mediation. Not only was everything finalized ...during mediation, it could not have gone any better . Proposed agreements were produced and signed off on by both parties immediately with full attention to detail to mitigate disagreements down the road associated with both custody and asset decisions. I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Thank you, Chris and Team!

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.

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!!

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.

Better than a big firm

After getting fed up paying five figures over six months to a big firm in the Atlanta area to get nowhere, a friend reccomended I call Chris. Six weeks one mediation session and only a retainer later Chris successfully got a settlement agreement on my case. I wish I had started with 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."
