Chris is the Best

Chris is a fighter. He knows the law and will be a fierce advocate for your defense. He doesn't just settle for a quick plea deal that may not be in your best interest. He will fight to get the best possible outcome. I strongly encourage you to hire Chris if you find yourself in legal trouble.

Very satisfied client

Chris was very professional, thorough and explored every aspect of my case. The prosecutor was adamant that I should receive 6 points and lose my license for a full year. After Chris told him we were going to have a trial, the prosecutor relented and we settled for 3 points and no suspension of lice...nse. If I have driving issues in the future, I will definitely hire Chris again.

Chris knows what he's doing.

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 wor...th having a consultation with him. This was a computer related incident btw. Thanks Chris for your help & support. -S.

Very professional and great guy

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!!!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

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.
