Helped with an Order of Protection
My ex filed false claims and attempted to get an order of protection against me to give her a leg up on child custody issues we had. I did not deserve any of this and thank God I found attorney Wright to help! He was able to get everything dismissed which brought more peace to my life. He gave excellent service and is a very smart lawyer!

Amazing DUI Lawyer!!!
First let me say that Chris is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to DUI laws in Cook County! He was meticulous in defending me and my case was dismissed! I feel like I dodged jail time on that one! This lawyer is excellent! I recommend him!

Great UUW lawyer
I was charged with UUW after a traffic stop. Chris came recommended and I hired him immediately. He came down to the police station and helped me start to finish. I beat my case because of him being on top of everything that happened! I DEFINITELY recommend him!

Best Lawyer Ever! Very Aggressive in Defending Me!
I hired Chris to defend me against gun and drug charges. They were bogus but I was facing multiple felonies. He charged me a fair price and worked with me on payments. Everyone else I talked to need thousands of dollar down just to look at my case. He got my charges dropped and fought very hard to make that happen! This attorney is incredible! Finding Chris saved me from years in jail! I totally trust his good work and would recommend him to anyone facing felony charges.

Dism
Having Mr Wright as my lawyer was such a comfort. He gave me the needed confidence to stay focused and positive. More importantly, He treated me as a friend and not a client. He did such a wonderful job in all aspects of the proceedings. I am forever grateful!!

Satisfied Client
During these uncertain times i contacted Mr. Wright to represent me for a DUI. Mr. Wright told me he would help me get my license back but because of Covid 19 we were unable to go to court. At times i was very nervous and unsure of the outcome but Mr. Wright stayed calm, did his research and got me my license back like he said he would. I am grateful to have found this experienced, detailed oriented lawyer to represent me

A great lawyer
Mr. Wright treated my case with the upmost concern. Even when I was in a panic mode, he comfort me with the procedure of the law and court. He was able to have my case dismiss

Effective and efficient
Chris did some amazing legal work for my case! Managed to avoid what would have been a lot of money to pay out, for being found at fault. He talked to the other side and they dropped the case!

Knowledgeable Lawyer
I contacted Christopher to get some info on what my rights are if I get a divorce. A friend who has worked with him before gave me his info. I liked that he was available and I didn't have to wait too long for the consultation. He answered all my questions and I definitely felt better informed afterward.
