This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Christopher Krimmer was the best advocate for my case I could have asked for.

Three years ago in the midst of a long stretch of clinical depression I hired Christopher to represent me in my divorce case. I was unable to stand up for, or advocate for myself in almost anyway due to be being shut down communicatively and emotionally. I really needed someone in my corner. My case ...with my ex was not particularly combative but there were some issues for which Christopher really needed to push and stand firm with regard to my child custody, child support and alimony issues. He was fantastic with regard to defending me and getting for me the best settlements possible. I firmly believe he recognized the delicate position I was in and did everything he could to stand up for me and defend my rights as an ex spouse and parent. I felt at ease in his hands and like he truly had my best interests at heart. I could go on and on however I would simply be repeating myself. Christopher is an excellent communicator,smart as a whip,caring,a great problem solver among many other glowing attributes. Christopher was recommended to my by my ex neighbor who happened to be himself, a family court judge. I could not have been happier with my representation and don't think for a minute I could have found a more dedicated or qualified lawyer in town to represent me.

Knowledgeable and quietly confident

After having a bad experience with another family law attorney, I felt very reassured having Christopher in my corner. He is kind and fair, yet bold and aggressive when he needed to advocate for me. He also understands the financial impacts of divorce and knows how to negotiate in tense discussions...

The Best Divorce Lawyer in Madison!

Christopher Krimmer was excellent as my divorce attorney. He was always well prepared and made a difficult divorce almost enjoyable. I learned a lot about the legal system working with Mr. Krimmer and he prepared me well for the hearings and arbitration. I would whole heartedly recommend him for a...nyone looking for an experienced and knowledgeable divorce attorney!

Outstanding Compassionate Professional

Christopher and his staff were extremely helpful and responsive to all my questions and concerns. Their compassion and diligence was above and beyond what I had hoped for, and I am certain that I would never have reached a positive resolution without their help. I would recommend Christoper and his... staff to anyone needing legal advice or assistance. If the option was available, I would vote six stars!!!

A Great Lawyer

I hired Christopher to assist me with a family law matter which is always an extremely stressful experience. I was very confident and prepared by the time we attended my hearing because of Christopher’s thorough research - he was extremely organized and has years of experience. He is an excellent ...and timely communicator and guided me through every step of the way. Christopher welcomed all of my questions and did an excellent job of calming all of my anxiety. I would wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Krimmer to anyone.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Christopher for over a decade, first as a colleague and now, frequently, as opposing counsel in divorce and paternity cases. Words that come to mind when describing Christopher include exceedingly experienced, knowledgeable, and thorough. He is a kind-hearted individual, but a tenacious advocate who keeps his client's best interests in mind at all times. He'll fiercely represents his clients' interests, but will do so in a professional and reasonable manner. Christopher is an excellent writer, speaker, and mediator, and is highly respected among attorneys, commissioners, and judges in and around Dane County. He is on my short list of attorneys to whom I refer parties in need of excellent counsel. I highly endorse Christopher Krimmer."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Christopher 100%. We previously worked together in the same firm, and since have had several cases opposite each other. He is always highly prepared and is a great advocate for his client. Opposing counsel must raise their game when Christopher is involved. Very skilled."

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.
