Great Attorney

Chris is a great attorney he always emails back when I email him. If it's on the weekend and it is urgent he emails right back right away to let me know what I need to do and don't need to do. He does everything that he says he's going to do. An always gives the best advice and lets you know what to ...do and not to do to help your case. His Paralegal Angela Holland is also great she returns your calls and emails and always does what she says she's going to do. I am very pleased with what Chris has done and still doing for me.

Gave 1 star because that is as low as you go.

Christopher Hazelrigg was my husband's attorney for a child support modification hearing. We ended up paying thousands to him as well as my husband's ex-wife before the state of Missouri jumped in to help us. By the way, it was the child support division who caught Hazelrigg's error and stopped the s...upport. In the hearing we did not contest the modified support. What we contested was the change of duration since the original order was filed in Oklahoma and set to expire when the children turned 18. There were also a few other items we contested (generic receipts made out to grandparents for childcare) but Hazelrigg was completely worthless and did not know the laws at the time. After we discovered Mr. Hazelrigg's errors, we contacted other attorneys in the area as we hope to file suit against the man; however our loss (approximately 30000) was not enough to really mess with. Ultimately, we stood to lose more. Had we known better at the time, we would never have hired Christopher Hazelrigg. My husband would have been better off representing himself.

Terrible attorney, doesn't show for anything

He was assigned to me for my child custody case. Its more likely that he won't show up than that he will, doesn't even send a fill in person. This was my free attorney so I couldn't even change tht4 sq,

Very bad attorney with no morals

I had Chris retained for over a year. The only thing he is good at is billing. He preped and prepared but did nothing. Time to go to court he did it from his phone while others showed up and needless to say outcome was not good for my child custody case. After getting him dismissed the new attorney... made it a case the no brainer one that it was but it whooped him good. But he don't care he got paid and didn't affect his golf game. If you want someone sticking up for you in a scary time involving children THEN DO NOT HIRE THIS WORTHLESS WASTE OF SKIN. He shouldn't be barred due to his unethical behavior. Moral if the story save your money and your case and hope your opponents have retained him because your going to win!!!
