Best lawyer EVER!

We used Chris for a parental revocation & step parent adoption. Chris answered everything in great detail, was always available, and made sure we understood everything we were about to embark on. He never sugar coated anything. You could tell he genuinely does this for us, the client and not the payc...heck. I recommend him to everyone for everything.

Professional Family Laywer

We had a very intricate family law/custody case and Chris did a great job winding through the mess and making sure there was an equitable outcome for our daughter.

Divorce

Chris was wonderful and patient during a very emotional time. No one truly wants to go through a divorce. Chris understands that and does everything he can to make it a easy as possible. He is prompt at answering and returning calls/emails and makes you feel like you his most important client. Gratef...ul I had him on my side. Because of him my divorce went as smoothly and painlessly as it could have.

Dream come true

Chris handled my divorce with flying colors. He fought for what I deserved in the settlement and kept it out of court by using a mediator. Turned out to be the best,, fastest way to get the case done quickly. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who needed a family law attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
