Amazing attorney!

When we were faced with having to hire a criminal defense attorney for my son in Florida while we resided in another state, we had to resort to searching online for one. Once we narrowed it down to our top 3 choices based on background, experience, etc., we had a phone interview with each of them and... finally settled on Chris Yeazell. We hoped we had picked the right attorney for my son since this was a capital case with life-changing consequences. There were times over the 3 years it took to finally take the case to trial when we had doubts he would come through and set my son free from the false accusation against him. Every day in court during the 4-day trial, Chris Yeazell proved to be an absolutely amazing defense attorney and caused us to feel more hopeful and certain that we had made the right choice. He proved to be extremely detailed and had obviously done a great deal of research which allowed him to present the case logically and efficiently. He attacked each of the prosecutions' witnesses with surgical precision but without demeaning or bullying them. The expert witnesses he called to the stand for the defense were the final key to casting reasonable doubt on every bit of the prosecution's "evidence", which resulted in a NOT GUILTY verdict. Even the prosecutor himself, as well as the judge, congratulated him on doing an excellent job. In short, if you have to go to trial for a criminal charge, you definitely want Chris Yeazell on your side defending you. We could not have chosen a better attorney to represent us.

A Winner

For separating parents, the process of agreeing to a shared parenting arrangement for their child/children can be an unpleasant experience. If you are in that situation you need to have a lawyer with strong negotiating skills to represent you and guide the process in a direction that represents your... interests. If it appears that an arrangement cannot be negotiated and it is going to trial, then a judge will decide what is in the best interest of the children. In that case both sides will be telling the judge their side of why things should be decided in their favor. Both positive and negative aspects of each parent will be uncovered and considered. At this point you better hope that the lawyer you have retained is an experienced, skilled and aggressive litigator not just a negotiator. Recently I was involved in just such a case. I am so fortunate that I picked Christopher Yeazell out of dozens of other possible family law Attorneys. I am so impressed with him. He is the consummate professional and the complete legal representative package. When his considerable effort to negotiate a fair parenting arrangement failed and the matter went to trial, his professionalism became very evident. Like a skilled teacher, he put forth the facts in an organized and crystal clear manner, like a skilled surgeon, cut through the lies to expose the truths, and like an elite soldier, defended and attacked with timely precision. I was not sure this case could be won, but he was positive and reassuring every step of the way and a very favorable decision was the result of his expertise. Some other terms that could be applied to Attorney Christopher Yeazell are: Courteous but aggressive, responsive, accessible, cost conscientious, thorough, and diligent. For me, it all added up to a winner.
