Other Review Must Be Marketing

Chris is the opposite of what reviews are saying. In my opinion, Chris creates discord in a very emotionally charged arena. His favorite thing to do is come in after the divorce is finalized and create issues. Even though very little can change after your divorce is finalized, particularly... of t settles. Except your losing the rest of your money not to your. ex but to Chris and his firm. .Inflaming ex-spouses and keep a fights going to make more money. This doesn’t benefit the clients. If you want to waste money on a fight, then absolutely hire him. If you want to move on, stay away or at least do yourself a favor and look at other websites and reviews.

Divorce Settlement

Chris was an amazing lawyer during my divorce. I always felt like I could depend on Chris to protect my interests and also be honest with me about what the law said. I felt his fees were never too high and that he charged me for the minimum hours. Practically, he always helped me feel much more co...nfident about the case when I became worried.

Having worked as a paralegal for 15 years, I can attest to the fact that Chris is a shining star in the domestic law arena. He is compassionate, honest and smart. He was by my side during a very stressful divorce and I always felt he had my back. He makes himself available by text or phone and never ...made me feel that I was bothering him.

Excellent

Chris was a fantastic attorney and had to deal with a very difficult case for several years. He was responsive and readily available even at odd hours if an issue came up. He genuinely cared about the best interest of my child and her safety and advocated strongly for that. I am thankful he was my at...torney and would strongly recommend him to anyone!

THE BEST!!!

I always felt that I was working with a friend. Chris Karlen is smart, thorough, personable and tough. I was impressed by his thoughtfulness and professional courtesy. I was happy to have him at my back throughout the process. What had begun as a simple financial separation turned into a nasty ...and contentious battle. Additionally, I will add that bot my adult sons were very impressed with him.
