Great lawyer

Very knowledgeable and experienced. Highly recommended. Helped me through and guided me in the direction I needed to do to stay out of prison. Very grateful for this man.

Waste of so much time and money

Hired Ringstrom Dekrey, got Chris. He was misleading and not caring. Not organized, communication was poor, I never knew what was the next step and I had little confidence in him. I felt as if he was not prepared for meetings. He didn't seem to realize we did not want to plead guilty, so this cas...e was hanging over our heads for 18 months. In the end, I realized we should have hired someone else.

Replied last February 11, 2025

Tammy, I’m sorry to hear that you had a frustrating experience. Legal proceedings can be complex and lengthy, especially when expert witnesses and intricate evidence are involved. While I did not represent you, I want to clarify that all major decisions—such as whether to plead guilty or proceed to trial—are made by the client after thorough discussion and careful consideration. Attorney-client privilege prevents me from discussing case details with anyone other than the client, regardless of who pays the retainer. However, I can assure you that every step taken was part of a strategic approach focused on the client’s best interests. I understand that the legal process can feel overwhelming, and I always strive to keep my clients informed and supported. Ultimately, the case resulted in no jail time and the dismissal of two out of three charges, which was a significant outcome. If you or the client have any concerns, I encourage you to reach out directly so we can address them.

Reputable representation

I had met Chris when I was not at the best place in my life and he handled my cases with great care and we were able to get a favorable outcome. A few years later when still dealing with things from a past lifestyle I sought out Chris as private counsel and once again more than a favorable outcome. W...orking with me and my schedule. Always staying in close contact and a quick response if we missed contact the first attempt. I felt Chris handled my case with more than professionalism a sort of care that we were working threw this situation together not just him representing me as my counsel. I can't speak highly enough of the time spent working along with Chris.
