Amazing in every way

Chris Dunham is absolutely amazing. He took the time to sit & speak to me & answer all my questions. He is without a doubt the best around. I now have ease of mind thanks to Mr.Dunham & for that I will be forever thankful. I called him after I was served with paternity & custody papers. I couldn’t st...op crying on the phone. He told me to come to his office & he would talk to me & tell me what I needed. I showed up with my papers already filled out. He spoke with me for a extended length of time, looked over my papers & broke down to me how the process would work going forward. I am so thankful for him.

Child custody

Chris was my lawyer for a custody/child support case for my two kids. He and tiera(his paralegal) were prompt anytime I needed to speak with them. He wasn’t how I expected a lawyer to be, he genuinely cared about helping my kids and me, and making sure everything was done smoothly and help ease the... stress during a very tense time. He is very knowledgeable and always came prepared to any hearing or meeting.

Incredible attorney!

Chris has been representing me through a long and drawn out custody battle. He is not only knowledgeable but the utmost professional. He has worked tiresly on my behalf. His knowledge of law and the intricacies of the court system are unmatched.

Genuinely caring and honest Attorney

I have hired Mr Dunham now on two separate occasions concerning my daughter and custody, if you are looking for someone that will lie and not be 100% concerned with what's in the best interest of your child then you must go somewhere else. Mr Dunham has on both occasions been by the books and had my... daughters best interest at heart and even when I was blinded by the hate I've had for my kids Father and I didn't have maybe the best outlook on things he has and always did have my daughters best interest at heart. He assured me and guided me when I didn't know what to do and I couldn't have found a better Attorney to handle my case. When I called he was there, when I emailed he was there, and even on holiday's he was there because he knew when myself and my daughter was in need and he did what was right by her. If your looking for an Attorney for your Civil family law issues I highly recommend Chris Dunham he is reasonable and works with you and truly cares about helping you and your child. I can't even begin to Thank him for all he has done for me and my child and couldn't have found a better Attorney for us!!!

what an amazing person and lawyer

Chris is an outstanding lawyer who will fight till the end for you!! He has done so much for me it's unbelievable and he is so reliable an trust worthy. He personally called me on his weekend and talked me down when i was so mad at my son's mother he will not just be there for you in court but outsid...e of it as well, i don't know what other lawyer does that. And to everyone who hires him please listen to exactly what he says because he does not tell you wrong. Everything he told me was the best thing to do. That's why i have my son right now!!
