Chuck Urban- "The Urbanater"

Chuck Urban represented me in an extremely complicated family court case. He is very knowledgeable in the law, and more importantly stays up to date with the ever changing laws that impact all areas of Family Law. He was always available if, I needed him, and would answer any questions. This case to...ok us in a lot of different directions-- all in which he was prepared for, which showed in court. I nicknamed him "The Urbanater" simply because, he is the Epitome of Lawyers you want fighting for you! He knew my case inside and out, and showed a lot of compassion while working with me. Even though this was an extremely tough, unpredictable case... Chuck delivered a fantastic representation of it, which we were successful in winning! I'd never recommend anyone, but Chuck, Urban for anything in the area of Family Law!

Thanks!

Mr. Urban has been an excellent attorney, representing me in post divorce issues. He knows family law, inside and out. He handled my case in an efficient, knowledgeable and timely manner. And, his fees are reasonable for the value received. I do not hesitate in referring him to all of my family, ...friends and acquaintances.

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.

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.
