Trust

My wife and I recently hired Chris and his law firm to do a Revocable Trust for the two of us. We could not have been more satisfied with our experience. Chris is a very straight-forward and personable attorney, and we both felt that he went above and beyond to get to know and understand our family... dynamics. Very reasonably priced and his documents and explanations are thorough and clear. His office manager Kyle was also very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this attorney and his staff!

Trust

Hired Chris to do an Estate Plan for my elderly and sick mother. Great experience all around. Took a lot of stress off of myself and my family. Chris and his staff came out to my mother's home several times and spent a few hours going over the details and answering all of our questions. Extremely... satisfied with our experience and the law firm's client service!

Attorney/Staff

All around great experience working with Chris. Enjoyed all of our meetings and was comfortable with him from the minutes we walked into his office. His office manager/legal assistant Mara is AWESOME, and one of the nicest people I've ever met!

Estate Litigation-Highly Recommend

About eighteen months ago, my father passed away. My mother had previously passed away in 2009. The Trust that they created jointly in 2004 was an absolute mess. It had been amended several times by attorneys who didn't practice in this area, and it was extremely confusing. Because of t...he vagueness, it lead to litigation among the beneficiaries. We retained Chris to represent our portion of the Estate. Chris was able to guide us, step by step, through the process of Estate litigation. He was extremely well prepared for depositions and hearings alike. Although the case was settled before a final hearing, we always felt confident with Chris representing our interests because he knew the case as well as we did and anticipated all issues and potential weaknesses that we didn't even see. Would recommend him for anything in the Estate Planning or Estate Litigation realm!

First-Class Professional

Chris and his staff are the best legal team I have ever worked with. They are efficient, courteous, and they are relentless when it comes to their clients needs. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for legal advice or representation.
