"Mr. Wilson is more than just assertive in his representation of his clients, he is results driven. Chris understands the sometimes delicate nature of a divorce proceeding as well as the needed aggressiveness while defending defendants being charged with crimes. Mr. Wilson is the “Johnny on the Spot” attorney that most clients love to have with them in their time of crisis."

Family lawyer | Jun 25

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I previously worked against Chris Wilson on a family law matter, but I am happy to endorse him even so. He is a skilled, experienced litigator who works hard on his client's behalf and who remains professional and level-headed despite the usually heightened emotions in any divorce or family law case. Don't get me wrong -- I happily represent clients seeking family law help here in Jacksonville. But if a potential client felt that we weren't the right fit, or was conflicted out from my representation, then I would be happy to suggest they seek out Chris for very competent and efficient representation. He's an ethical and excellent family law trial attorney."

Criminal defense lawyer | May 25

Relationship: Co-worker

"I had the distinct pleasure of working with Chris Wilson for more than four years at my prior firm. Chris is dedicated to each of his clients, meticulous in his presentation and prosecution of the defense of his clients, and driven by a passion for achieving the best possible result for his clients. He is well known in the legal community, and has achieved an excellent reputation while practicing before the local courts. Chris is extremely comfortable and effective in the courtroom, and spends more time during a normal work week in court than out of it. I highly recommend Chris for both criminal defense and family law matters."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
