Christopher Martin Lake

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.

Christopher Lake is a superb attorney! He is my top referral to anyone in need of a family law attorney. Mr. Lake is an extremely smart attorney, a brilliant trial lawyer and a man who has a strong moral compass and truly cares about doing the right thing. He has a passion for family law and for l...ooking out for what is in the best interest of the children (if any) due to his own past history. If you give him the freedom to do what he does best he will serve you very well. His staff is terrific and just as compassionate and hard working - they truly care about you and will be on your team which is extremely important. Mr. Lake understands the court system and embraces the reality of the justice system that we are forced to work within. Mr. Lake will be honest, transparent and direct when guiding you through your journey. Listen to him - his heart is in the right place and he wants to do the very best that he can for you given your particular realities. Words cannot express the gratitude that I have for Mr. Lake's expertise, passion and professionalism. My case was complicated beyond complicated with a very difficult personality. Mr. Lake was available to me at all times providing me his cell phone if needed. He truly cared for my safety and for my children's safety. I relied upon his advice and expertise throughout our trial and am grateful for every "win"! We did not lose one time - we experienced only victories that were hard fought and well orchestrated by Mr. Lake. I recommend Mr. Lake to any who need help/guidance/leadership in family law and desire an honest, transparent and brilliant trial attorney.

I was recommended to Chris Lake by a close family friend who works in the legal field and who has knowledge of Mr. Lake and his excellent reputation around the Dallas / Ft Worth area. I contacted his law firm after learning my wife had filed for divorce without my knowledge. Having no divorce in my... family history, I didn't know what to expect or even the steps needed to dissolve a 26 year marriage. Upon my friend’s recommendation, I reached out to Chris and set up the initial meeting. I found him to be personable, interested in my loss, professional and caring. I never felt like just another client. Chris quickly guided me as we made short work of the goal and desired outcome of the divorce step by step. Never vindictive, I was also amazed with how well he worked and communicated with the other attorney, mediator and court as we moved through the process. If I had a short question, I simply emailed Chris who quickly responded, short and to the point, never excessive. I never wanted for information; I was kept informed throughout the entire process. I’ve heard horror stories of attorneys, who send excessive communications, schedule unwarranted meetings, analyze “what went wrong” and basically drag the legal process out. My experience was absolutely the opposite. His guidance was spot on. The direction we needed to go well defined. Chris and his supporting staff were well organized and efficient. While I will always deeply regret the failure of the marriage, I deeply appreciate the legal support, guidance and work that Chris Lake provided to my family and I. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone facing family issues requiring sound, ethical representation without hesitation. I am also encouraged with the knowledge that I found an honest attorneys who I always felt was on my side. I am certain that I would not have reached the desired outcome had it not been for Chris and his team. Thank you Chris -

I was new to Dallas in 2010 and my marriage was ending. A good friend recommended Chris Lake to me. He had represented his cousin and did an excellent job. Chris listened to me and understood what I was going through. He was not a money hungry lawyer like a lot of them. In fact he encouraged me to ...really be sure this was what I wanted to do and encouraged counseling . I appreciated his compassionate and professionalism. I proceeded with a divorce and he was more than exemplary and did more than I could ask for. I would recommend Chris to anyone and I fully trust his judgement and knowledge of family law. He is an outstanding attorney and a honorable man.

Chris Lake is a polite, straight-forward attorney. Chris was sensitive to my needs and authentically listened to my concerns and problems. He did not make unrealistic promises, instead he give me candid advise and delivered on his plan. I had to deal with an ex-husband that repeatedly made-up fact...s; attempted to turn my kids against me; and destroy my new marriage. Chris stopped all of that nonsense and shut down the greedy ex-husband. Chris also counseled me on issues regarding my marriage. Chris is honest and just a nice person. He made me feel like an important client. If results alone define a lawyer, Chris Lake is the greatest!
