Christopher Martin Lake

Mr. Lake recently represented by boyfriend in his divorce case in which the custody of his daughter was in dispute, and there were some very delicate issues at stake. He went above and beyond in insuring that her -- the child's -- well-being was the priority in the case (compassion). I appreciated ...his candor in working with my boyfriend and demanding that my boyfriend be upfront with him (integrity). I also appreciated that he represented my boyfriend, but not at all costs and that he continuously directed and redirected him toward what he could realistically expect from the outcome of his case given different potential avenues of action to finalize the divorce and custody issue. His wisdom and years of experience became evident time and time again. At times he (we) felt beat down, but Mr. Lake provided him (us) with words of encouragement and hope and the will to continue when he was ready to give up (fortitude). Even though he was clearly his client during the entire process, he did account for the mother and how she might be impacted by various outcomes (compassion).

In going through the difficult process of divorce, Chris provided the balance of a well-respected, talented litigator and sound advice in attempting to resolve the issues. He provided me with information about what was going to happen, how we would address the issues and recommended courses of actio...n. He is well respected and an attorney I have, and would, refer to other possible clients. He is ethical and an excellent communicator.

I met with Chris Lake less than a year ago not knowing where my marriage was headed. He gave me good, sound legal advice. His knowledge in divorce law was obviously very important, very impressive and very helpful. However, what impressed me most about Chris, and what was ultimately the deciding f...actor in hiring him, was his compassion for my pain, his integrity and his wisdom. Chris walked a hard road with me. He was available. Because of his experience, he was always one step ahead and worked hard to do what was best for me. His experience was invaluable to me and how he handled my case from start to finish was with the utmost integrity. He was truly concerned for my well being and worked hard to make sure he gave me the best legal counsel he possibly could. I have a great deal of respect for Chris. I would recommend him hands down to anyone seeking a good lawyer. It’s a blessing to have a man of character representing divorce law. Divorce isn’t what most of us sign up for, but when it happens unexpectedly like it did to me, Chris is who you want representing you. He's really good at what he does and he cares.

I went through a very difficult time in my life, an indescribable experience that I am still battling with the consequences of. I was referred to Mr. Lake by a mutual friend and he agreed to take me as a client. Mr. Lake not only gave me his knowledge and expertise regarding the law, he gave me the... support I desperately needed. The legal system can be very intimidating and confusing and at times I became very frustrated and discouraged. He made sure I understood the details, every step of the way, and gave me the encouragement I needed to continue to move forward with this battle. He is ethical, beyond fair and a fierce advocate who will go above and beyond to make sure the needs of his clients are met. There are not enough things I can say to tell you how much Mr. Lake has helped me and how much I appreciate everything he has done for me.

Chris handled my very complex legal problems with professionalism and with a high-level of expertise. I have dealt with many attorneys in the business world. Chris is perhaps the best attorney I have ever encountered. He is personal and candid. He handled my matter in a timely basis and it was on... budget. I highly recommend Chris.
