Imprudent

Wasted state resources making recommendations that would cause my business to lose money, total waste of time, had zero prudence. Another "law school" paper mill pretender. Lawyer is bringing healing using the law - that is the essence of a doctorate of prudence. This guy is low emotional IQ a...nd offers kindergarten answers. Truly bizarre. I feel less secure knowing his advice is considered prudence. People have "hated" me but I made money and gave good advice as a lawyer - just oppose corruption. These are the kinds of lawyer who serve no valuable purpose - literally just a runt on a hog. But perhaps he's grow up. Keep the Ten Commandments is a good start at least as to the honesty portion. As to prudence, he's around that of a 7 year old - literally recommending a path to a $15/hour wage over and above open markets values of $40-400/hour - while the State was asking for more than he recommended I go work for. That's who literally stupid the guy is. He had a duty to tell me the best plan as he saw it to "catch up" on back - inflated child support - which was obtained by fraud. He's so stupid he thought saying, "go work at McDonalds" was legal advice - in his ego mistaking an attempted roasting of a single dad with what was legal advice - or perhaps he literally is just that useless. May be why he's on the state system as no friend or family who know him respect him enough to hire him. As for me - I am a Vet with Honorable Discharged - and certified as a Genius in the records. Over 100 cases to jury or judge - with zero actual loses. So naw. Dude is a joke. Go sell cars or insurance.

Professional, knowledgeable and aggressive

My only regret is that I did not meet Chris and his team sooner. After my divorce was finalized, I began working with Chris to modify the judgement (unfortunately he was not my original divorce lawyer). He was very forthright and knowledgeable and provided excellent advice throughout the proceedings.... He also took an aggressive stance when my ex tried to sue for her attorney’s fees. He won the case despite the fact that the judge clearly favored my ex. He won it by diligently researching case law and aggressively presenting our case, all the while being professional. I frankly can’t recommend him enough. I sincerely hope I’m never in need of an attorney again but if I am, Chris will be my first call. Again, I can not recommend him and his team enough!

Great professional lawyer

Chris is hard working, extremely professional, timely, and efficient! He was able to get me every single thing I was requesting in my child custody case. He was quick to respond to my emails and thoroughly answered each and every one of my numerous questions. If you are ever faced with child custody ...issues and are in need of a lawyer, Chris is the one that you want by your side. He will try his best to get you what you want which is exactly what he did for me (I was granted EVERYTHING that we requested). If he asks you to do something that it going to help your case, make sure you do it. He knows what he is talking about. I hired Chris for my child custody case. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. I will be recommending Chris to all of my family, friends, and coworkers should they ever need his law services. Call him today! I promise you won't be disappointed. Esther and Chris make a fantastic team.

Prepared, Skillful, and SUCCESSFUL!

Changing attorneys and hiring Chris was the BEST decision I made! My ex-husband spent 5 times what I did on his attorney. But Chris and I won every point in our case. He is an expert at the research necessary to make the necessary points to win. He read the judge during our trial, changed course, ...and was spot on with his interpretation of what was needed. Esther was amazing at taking care of the details and being a liason between Chris and I. I never had to wait on them. My time was respected, too. Don't let his youth fool you. He knows what he is doing. He explained the options and consequences to me thoroughly and ultimately gave me the best advice during a difficult time. I'm so glad I trusted him. If you decide to trust him also do whatever he tells you to do. He knows how to present your case and WIN! ***He is THE BEST at what he does!***

Professional, experienced and a complete pleasure to work with. Won the divorce from heck!

Pick up the phone and call Chris! He's intelligent, experienced, confident, and extremely hard working. My case was the case from absolute hell and Chris helped me organize and focus in on what needed to be done. We started working together nearly a year before my divorce eventually went to trial. He... was amazing before trial but he truly showed his flying colors in trial. He was able to eloquently and confidently deliver for 3 days. I won EVERYTHING in my divorce that I was seeking (I was the husband as well)! Chris has the tact, depth and breadth of knowledge way beyond his years. I couldn't be more happy with how he and Esther (his wife and assistant) worked with me. They were so prompt, kind, organized, and easy to work with. I truly cannot thank Chris enough - when I finally received my divorce decree after YEARS of battling with my now ex-wife it was one of the happiest moments of my life. I cannot say that I would have achieved this without his assistance. If you are looking for a realistic, honest, hardworking, and experienced attorney, call Chris and have that conversation.
