Keep Away!

He screwed up my dissolution case. It was supposed to be quick and easy. Took him 4 months to have the simple documents done. Then when we got to the hearing the judge tells us all the documents did not comply with the rules. So he had to redo the documents and we all had to come back 3 weeks later f...or another hearing. This guy is a total joke.

Took my money and ran!

After I hired Chris he stopped returning my calls and emails in a timely manner, sometimes taking weeks to get back to me. He would usually blame it on him taking another fishing trip. I was not happy with the way he handled my divorce case. He seemed disinterested or distracted the entire case. He’s... also very old.

If it makes you feel good to write slightly different, false reviews, you are one sick individual. And I'm pretty sure I know you and know you to be a sick individual. And what kind of coward doesn't call me with a legitimate complaint? Which means you haven't paid your bill to my office, and it would be best for me to see you again in Court. See you soon.

Custody and Divorce

Chris is by far the best attorney I have ever worked with!! My wife started taking about divorce about 6 months ago and at that time Chris counseled me on the appropriate actions to take to prepare if we stayed together or spilt. Well worse come to worse my wife did file for divorce but thanks to Chr...is I was already prepared. As soon as I let Chris know he went into action immediately. He gave me step by step instructions on what he needed from me to be successful and at the end of the day that’s exactly what we were “successful”! Chris was very patient with me the entire time which is great because I can be pushy at times. Chris helped me to reign in my emotions through the ups and downs of court and the divorce process. The best advice I can give is to Trust Chris 100% of the time. At times it may seem like the information you provide doesn’t have much importance but trust me Chris is using it and stacking the information appropriately to get you a tactical advantage. He is a tactician and when you go through a divorce it’s chess not checkers so just follow through with his requests and trust his experience! In closing remember Chris is your lawyer and works for you but he needs the information from you so provide all that you can and let him sort it out. When my case was complete I got joint custody, joint custodial rights, no child support, no alimony and I only had to give my wife $10,000. Keep in mind my wife was a stay at home Mom with no job at the time. I was able to get 90% of what I wanted which is unheard of. This was all possible because I followed his directions, provided information and let him formulate a plan.

Came through

I hired chris in Feb 2015 after getting wind that my wife had filed for a divorce. Chris Came as a reference from a co-worker. From the start Chris was honest and up front on what to expect. I will say that he kept his calm and did not hype up the drama or threats being created by opposing council. M...y now ex-wifes attorney was a real piece of work who took her to the cleaners. He filed a total of ten motions over what would end up being an 18 month battle. I was faced with a long distance move 5 months in and forced to start fresh. Chris stuck by my side and kept me updated at all times. His para-legal Joni is always pleasant and up to date on the case. I always looked forward to chatting with her on her thoughts when I called. In the end my ex wife walked away with nothing more than her half and thousands in attorney debt. I am very pleased and would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a down to earth, honest and level headed attorney.
