Got me a great deal

I was arrested for speeding, DUI, and some other tough charges in Holt County. Chris drove up o Oregon, MO and landed me on probation. I managed to complete my terms and my charges have been suspended. Now as far as criminally, police can see this, but as far as businesses and insurance agencies thes...e charges won’t show up on a background check. Pretty happy with my time. Only thing I’d say is work on contacting your clients more. A lot of times when going through the SATOP and what not I had to depend on my PO more.

Great experience

He was consulted and hired for a DWI that was incurred. It was my first offense, and having a family, I did not want the possible reprocussions to effect them. He was discrete, and knowledgeable.

Great lawyer who fights no matter the odds

I called Chris Fink on a Saturday and he met with me the next day, a Sunday! I had a custody lawyer withdraw and had court the coming Monday. (He had only known me and about my case for a day.) We thought that it would be continued since he had just taken my case - it wasn't. The judge made us go o...n with the custody trial that day. He hardly knew me, hadn't gotten to get a chance to really look into the case much....but he still fought for me. It didn't turn out as badly as I'd thought it might and Chris honestly did everything he could. I ended up with a better result than I thought I'd get given the circumstances. He will fight for you and knows the law. Highly recommend. Thank you for trying your best for me, Chris.

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
