      Review Christopher Wickman

      Chris knows what he's doing.

      Posted by

      Chris is currently representing me in a very difficult case. He has been thorough and informative on every step we've taken to date. He is very knowledgeable of the law, and I am anticipating a positive outcome at my trial. Even the judge at my arraignment said I was lucky to have him. Definitely worth having a consultation with him. This was a computer related incident btw. Thanks Chris for your help & support. -S.

      Mr. Wickman was able to help me very quickly and got everything covered that I needed help with. The case was able to be wrapped up within two weeks and I would not have known what to do without his help. I would recommend him for anyone, very easy to get along with and gets the job done!!!

      I got a owi ticket and retained Mr. Wickman. Chris was very thorough with my case and chased every angle. He was not only concerned with my case but my own health and well being as well. He is the reason why my case went as well as it did.

      Exceptional Service

      I retained Mr. Wickman for a very difficult case. After misrepresentation from a previous Attorney and already entering a guilty plea, that I was not comfortable with. Mr. Wickman work very hard to get my Plea with drawn and case dismissed. This was a long drawn out process that was explained in great detail every step of the way, with superiority knowledge of the Law. I would and actually already have Recommended his services. I truly am Grateful for his Services

      Outstanding Service

      Posted by

      Mr. Wickman was excellent. He didn't overcharge, used our time wisely and he provided the emotional and professional support that I needed during a very difficult chapter in my life. This was my first offense and I was very unsure of the process. Chris walked me through every step with the sincerity of someone I have known for years. I hope to never need him again, but if I would he would be the first attorney I would call. If you are in need of a criminal defense attorney, please call Chris. Thank you for everything.

      Chris is very professional and knows the law well. He was able to help us keep our disabled son safe. We thought he was very good and would highly recommend him. We would feel comfortable asking for his advice in the future.

      We hired Mr. Wickman for a Land Contract dispute. He was very knowledgeable and time efficient. I would definitely hire him again if needed.

      Chris presents himself as a lawyer who genuinely cares for his clients and as a result does an outstanding job for them. I endorse this lawyer.

      Chris is the type of attorney who goes out of his way to make sure newer attorneys are on the right path. He does this not for us newer attorneys but for our clients. To him every client should get the best criminal defense possible, even if that means he educates his competition in the court hallways. I would recommend, and I endorse, Chris Wickman as a good man and a good attorney.
