No reviews since 2018? What does that tell you?

I had a case that was such a slam-dunk, I didn’t think I needed a particularly good one, plus, the attorney representing the other side had passed the bar less than a year prior. I hired this guy out of the phone book because I believed his Advertisements, but have since learned that this “30” years ...in practice fighting CPS was a bit misleading. After meeting with him and explaining my case and providing the documents that proved my custody had been already decided by a different judge, he did not contribute one word for the year it took for him to bleed my family to death. I was his only client during that year, but he had no interest in doing his job, not even one word! As I was leaving Court one day I heard him say to the attorney for the other side, laughing, “You’ll see, after awhile you realize that either way., we’ll still get paid.” Let him go with an emergency writ under the circumstances in less than one hour. He may have been OK 12 years ago when his last review dates were written, but he wasn’t even professional when we spoke - always eating loudly into the phone. He’s probably going to retire soon anyway, but I would highly recommend that you go elsewhere.

Great lawyer

My wife and I hired attorney Christopher Drouillard to represent us during a Child Protective Services investigation. CPS told us that they were going to file a petition to remove our children before we hired Mr. Drouillard. CPS treated us a lot better after they realized who we hired represent us... and, as a result of attorney Drouillard's representation, changed their mind and decided not to file the petition. This guy is good! He knew our case, pushed the right buttons with CPS and no petition will be filed against us. --

Child Custody / Child Protective Services

We hired Chris in December of 2015 to replace our daughter's former attorney. When we hired Chris, our daughter was under investigation with Child Protective Services and her time with our granddaughter was extremely limited. Chris developed and executed a plan that eventually resulted in the Child... Protective Services case being dismissed and my daughter's parenting time with my granddaughter being restored in June of 2016. I was a long battle, but Chris never gave up or gave in. I would highly recommend Chris!

Child Abuse / CPS - case dismissed!

I hired Mr. Drouillard to represent my husband and I because CPS took us to court, accusing us of abusing our daughter. Mr. Drouillard was very kind and professional to us but fought CPS hard in court. The case against us was dismissed today! We are so grateful for Mr. Drouillard's services and fo...r this outcome! I feel like a huge burden has been lifted from our shoulders. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

child custody won for father

I hired Chris because the mother of my children refused to let me see them. She even denied that I was their legal father and hired a lawyer to fight me tooth and nail. They called Fox2 News but Chris showed the reporter a video that proved they were lying. In court, her lawyer was no match for Ch...ris. An excellent writer with a terrific presence in the courtroom, Chris destroyed her case. She surrendered the day before trial and now I can see my children again. Thank you Chris!
