Chris Vorbeck, PA is a great resource

We hired Chris to redo our will and trusts eight years ago when we moved from Texas to Florida. He vastly improved the efficiency and validity of this paperwork and has been an invaluable resource ever since. He and his office staff have been caring and attentive to our needs as they come up. Havi...ng two blended families everything is extremely fluid and numerous times have helped us with the changes involved. We would not hesitate to recommend Chris and his firm, and have several times.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2014.

Suspension issued in FL, 2014

updated on 02/28/2017

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Chris’s comment:

“An aggrieved beneficiary filed a complaint in 2010 because the documents I prepared for her father left her out at her father's request back in 2005. The complaint was filed after her father died. The daughter litigated the matter with her stepmother and later settled. The stepmother had no issues with the legal services that I provided to her and her late husband. The suspension was for 30 days.”
