Christopher Martin Lake

Eight years ago I hired Chris and he skillfully negotiated what could have been a tricky divorce for me due to having to determine the value of my dental practice. Through collaborative law, we arrived at a fair (and agreed upon) value without having to bring in expensive "experts" to help. He also... assisted me just 6 months ago when I made the shocking discovery that my ex-husband had stolen and switched out the diamond in my old wedding ring with a CZ. That was QUICKLY resolved thanks to Chris' excellent demand letter!

Chris saw me through an arduous and painful divorce, during which he not only protected me from a vengeful adversary, but provided me with friendship and encouragement throughout that very emotional process. I appreciated his knowledge and understanding of the nuances of Family Laws in Texas and hi...s willingness and patience in explaining the law as it applied to me in my situation. He approached my case with energy and formulated an effective strategy for dealing with my case. Chris has an excellent team and is not a procrastinator like some, but came to every hearing and deposition with well- prepared documents, never missed a filing deadline, and presented strong, logical and effective arguments in court. He also kept me well- informed of what was happening and what I could expect next in the process. Moreover, he was respectful, courteous and polite - a gentleman to me as his client and a strong advocate in the legal battle. Chris Lake never used foul or offensive language. Even under extreme pressure he kept a cool head. I have worked with numerous attorneys in the past who made a stressful situation even more stressful because they were slow to return calls or failed to keep me informed or were careless and sloppy with preparation or filing deadlines. That is why I so appreciated the way Chris and his team kept me in the loop and the efficiency with which they handled my case. This made a painful process easier to handle because I knew I could turn it over to them without becoming worried that they would drop the ball. I had confidence in the integrity, as well as the intelligence, of Chris and his associates and was able to relax and turn it all over to them, knowing that I was getting honest and competent representation. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my working association with Chris and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Chris Lake has represented me on two different occasions. He handled my divorce five years ago and a child support enforcement order recently on my ex-husband, who had basically checked out since the divorce. He did an unbelievable job on both cases. His knowledge, integrity and compassion are o...ff the charts. Chris and his staff keep you informed 100 percent of the time. I highly recommend Chris and have referred other clients to him over the years.

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.
