Chris was a great lawyer! He has had to deal with two different opposing lawyers over the course of the years and handle both with flying colors. One was for divorce. I got pretty much every single thing I wanted. The second was for my ex going after child support even though we had 50/50 custody ...and she stopped working. It was very obvious at the end who the prevailing party was. Nobody wants to have to hire a lawyer and deal with this. But if you want to win use Chris!!

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!

Mr. Conowal is the best attorney in the game.

As a single mother navigating the complex waters of family law, I found myself facing a daunting challenge: a grandparents’ rights petition filed against me. The weight of this legal battle was immense and had casted a dark cloud over my life for many months. From the moment I hired Mr. Conowal, my p...erspective shifted. Here’s why: Empathy and Understanding: Mr. Conowal listened to my fears, frustrations, and hopes. As a mother, I felt seen and heard—a rarity in the legal world. Clear Communication: Mr. Conowal’s ability to communicate effectively is unparalleled. He patiently answered my countless questions, providing clarity and reassurance. No legal jargon—just straightforward guidance. Tenacity and Advocacy: Unlike my previous attorney, who left me drowning in bills without progress, Christopher Conowal offered a strategic approach and fought for me. I can’t thank Mr. Conowal enough. Mrs. Tonya, equally remarkable, treated me with respect and compassion. They didn’t just handle my case; they held my hand through the storm. If you’re seeking an attorney who combines legal prowess with genuine care, look no further. Christopher Conowal is not just a lawyer; he’s a lifeline. I’d give him 50 stars if I could. Remember, your journey isn’t over yet. But with Christopher Conowal by your side, you’re in capable hands.

Kind. Caring. Compassionate.

Where do I start? I first met Mr. Conowal when I was dating someone who had used him as his divorce attorney. He went to bat for him and did good considering it’s ga and mothers normally end up with full custody. He was able to get him 50/50 with a fair amount of child support though in my opinion a...s a mom who shares custody of my son with his father and does not want not ask for one penny as we are sharing time with our child- it should be standard in ga to not make either parent pay child support when it’s 50/50. It’s not fair to either parent. Anyways. When the mother wanted to move to Cali he initially retained Mr. Conowal then decided to go with a female lawyer. Which in the end did help him with the case but he did not get what he wanted (which worked out best for the kids in the long run). Anyways. I recently retained Mr. Conowal as my attorney to represent me against false theft charges. He has been amazing and knows what he’s talking about. I can’t imagine a better person to have on my side. He is fair and honest and Ruthless. I am thankful I know him.

Adoption

Our adoption journey began 3 years ago. Mr. Conowal was there every step of the way from Temporary Custody, Permanent Custody, and finally to Adoption. He answered our questions. He drove countless miles. He and Diane truly went the extra mile to help our journey to adoption go as smoothly as pos...sible. Our family is thankful and blessed to have worked with Mr. Conowal.

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."
