This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding attorney!

I hired Chris W. Rumbold seven months into my divorce, as little had been accomplished by my previous attorney, which made me frustrated and scared. Chris turned my case around and delivered my divorce in only four months. I am so grateful to Chris for his professionalism, legal acumen, and empathy. ...Chris and his legal assistant Yami genuinely care for their clients. I will forever be grateful to Chris for helping me through one of the toughest times of my life. His staff, Yami and Kim, are professional, helpful, and always available to answer any questions I had. Chris took time to explain the caselaw to me, so that I could make informed decisions. His calm and friendly demeanor always helped reduce stress before a hearing. He is always prepared in court and went the extra mile to deliver the results I hoped for. I wholeheartedly recommend Chris W. Rumbold and his office.

Did not move any actions forward

I hired Mr. Rumbold to represent me for post-divorce actions. After completing the first hearing, he dragged his feet and delayed, avoiding brining any other issues to a hearing for two years until I switched attorneys. He was very rude at times and was more focused on the billing than on moving my i...ssues forward.

  • 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.
