Christopher G. Britt

Excellent, went out of his way to help be personally calling me. Answered all my questions, even though I could not hire him due to location from me. Would hire in a heartbeat. Well rounded and knowledgeable. Recommend.

I was referred to Mr. Britt by another law firm for his expertise regarding probate and property law. Mr. Britt spent considerable time discussing my situation, the legal process surrounding it and the probable outcome and made suggestions regarding my course of action. He told me that he could certainly represent me in court but said that in all honesty I did not need this because I had no legal rights in the matter. In essence, he was saying that it would not be a wise use of money to hire him since in all likelihood, it would not make a difference in the outcome in this case. I brought up many points and angles for which I sought clarification and Mr. Britt was knowledgeable and experienced in all areas. He was certainly professional and demonstrated legal expertise but at the same time, he was patient and fully present as he listened to me and addressed my concerns. The fact that he treated me with consideration and kindness and told me the truth--that I really did not need his representation--tells me that he conducts himself personally and professionally with honesty and integrity. These character traits are very important to me and because I don't find them so prevalent in today's world, I feel fortunate and blessed to have found an attorney like Mr. Britt. I would certainly recommend him and I plan to retain his services for estate planning and preparing a will.

Chris is phenomenal! I highly recommend him. My case was probably his first divorce since he has only been practicing a year (if that). I originally had a very seasoned divorce lawyer that had given up on my case for two reasons …. My case was “screwed up” and I had run out of funds to pay him since my husband had refused to pay alimony and child support that was ordered by the Divorcee Referee over a year earlier. In a nutshell here is what Chris has done for me: Come in on an already 2 year case with boxes and boxes of evidence filled with financial information that showed marital funds being hidden in multiple businesses and taking the time to not only get familiar with everything but he also did his own investigating. Amazing! He jumped right in and started dealing with my husbands never ending harassing texts, emails and phone calls. His aggressive emails to opposing counsel put an end to the harassment which finally allowed my kids and me to have a sense of safety that we had gone two years without. Chris was incredible about getting back to me in a timely manner. Since I was receiving threatening texts and emails almost daily and at all hours of the day there were several times that I had to contact him outside of the normal business hours…this included nights and weekends and he always dealt with the situation immediately. A few miracles he pulled off…. Had a necessary out of town hostile witness served at the airport the minute they entered Tennessee. He was able to prove to the judge that marital funds had been hidden in multiple business ventures by my husband and his family members. The Judge joined the family to the case which is something I didn’t even know was possible. After 10 hours in a contempt hearing regarding harassment and nonpayment of child support and alimony my husband was cuffed in the court room and spent days at 201 Poplar. The money that the Judge set for his bail was ordered to be sent to me. The office that handles this sort of thing didn’t even have protocol for this type of situation because it just never happens. Switching lawyers terrified me. I recall having a meltdown shortly after I first hired Chris and I realized just how much of a brand new lawyer he was. I thought I had made the biggest mistake of my life and I shared this with him. He told me that what he lacked in experience, he more than made up for in life experiences that some seasoned lawyers have no clue about. He started on day one fighting for my kids and I. My only regret was that I didn’t have him from the start of my divorce.

I highly recommend Chris Britt to anyone who needs a reliable and straight forward attorney. He made what could have been a long and drawn out ordeal into a quick and painless divorce. Chris was always prompt in returning my phone calls, and was aways able to answer any question I threw at him. On he financial side, Chris does not overcharge, or charge for minutes unused. Very trustworthy and honest. If you are looking for an affordable attorney in the Memphis area, that will easily guide you through your divorce proceedings, I highly suggest you give Chris Bell a call!
