Christopher Martin Lake

Chris is a very attentive attorney that keeps your best interests in mind. He is ethical and trustworthy and keeps you focused on the issues at hand. His guidance was always spot on and I would trust him with my total well being. For anyone going through a divorce, Chris helps you see things thro...ugh a lens that gives you clarity on all aspects of your situation enabling you to make decisions toward the course of action to take. If I ever require a divorce attorney again, you can bet that it will be Chris Lake without question.

I would not wish divorce upon my worst enemy. But if you find yourself going through one like I did, you need Chris Lake. Like most, I was skeptical of attorneys/lawyers. However, Mr. Lake was referred to me by someone that I trusted. I was and continue to be so thankful for that positive referra...l. Not only was he knowledgeable in the law, he was very practical too. When I was unrealistic, he would kindly help me to understand the process and what to expect - both positive and negative. He did not sugar coat. He was a great listener too. Throughout the process, when I wanted to fall on my sword or I actually broke down in tears, he understood with gentle human compassion. He fought for me and my children when I was too distraught to do so or think clearly. In times when I wanted to act vengefully towards my ex for all of the pain that they caused, Mr. Lake would let me know that he would be the hammer and do what I wanted him to do. But at the same time, he would let me know that some of the things that I wanted were both expensive and would not really accomplish what I wanted or needed. He was always professional. I was comforted by his integrity and knowledge of family law. He was strong from the time of filing, during the temporary orders and custody, mediation, and the final divorce. Not only does he "know his stuff", he is respected by his peers. At one time was the Chair of the Dallas Bar Association Family Law Section. At times when his paralegal and other staff were involved, they were great. He built a strong team as well. He utilized them effectively to keep my costs down. Subsequently, my ex did not comply with the decree and I had to go back to court. Mr. Lake was there again for me. Reconcile if you can, but if you cannot, you need Chris Lake.
