This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Chris Fitzgerald is knowledgeable, professional, always prepared, and absolutely the best!!

I hired Chris Fitzgerald in December 2020 after my dad passed away from Covid. He had an attorney that had instructed him to rewrite is Will once his wife had died in August 2020. He died before he signed his new Will, so we filled he died without a Will. The son of my father's wife sued me for the b...usiness they owned, a suburban, a truck, all the bank accounts my dad had, and the house and property that was owned by us both. My dad's lawyer instructed me to get my own lawyer so he could be my witness to exactly what my dad wanted to do even though he did not sign his new Will. This is when I hired Chris Fitzgerald. He was an ABSOLUTE GOD SEND for me throughout this entire ordeal as my stepbrother sued for everything, he thought he deserved. This went on for a year and ten months before we were able to get this closed and finalized. Chris was with me and my family every step along the way. We had multiple meetings, a deposition, and finalized with a mediation before this issue was closed. Chris was phenomenal with his ability to carry me through this mine field. His knowledge of all aspects with dealing with the many different issues that came up were unmatched by anyone. His professionalism and knowledge of the laws made my life so much more at ease throughout this very trying time. Chris was ALWAYS prepared and well verse in any issue we had to deal with during this time. He was able to answer any question I had and was able to put the answer in a way that I was able to comprehend and understand. I believe Chris Fitzgerald is the BEST lawyer there is. His ability to be prepared for anything thrown his way was such an amazing aspect of who Chris is as a lawyer, He is the BEST in the business. I have continued to have many conversations with Chris since I used him in 2020. I feel confident that I could call Chris at any time and he would be there for me and my family in a heartbeat. I sincerely cannot thank Chris Fitzgerald enough for EVERYTHING he did throughout this trying time in my life. I have told many folks that have ask how my experience was during this time. I have thanked God many times since this all went down for two main reasons. 1. Thanked God for allowing me to have a dad that raised me and led by example to be the man I have become 2. That Chris Fitzgerald was put into my life at probably the lowest point in my life and he was absolutely the most amazing lawyer anyone could ask for. He made things so much more bearable throughout this nightmare. In closing, I would hire Chris Fitzgerald to be my lawyer in a heartbeat for ANYTHING, ANYTIME, and ANYWHERE!! I have ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVATIONS in hiring Chris W. Fitzgerald to represent me or my family because he is the BEST!!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Chris W. Fitzgerald to be anyone's lawyer in a heartbeat!!!! You will not be disappointed at all and you will not find a better lawyer to help you throughout your issue.

From start to finish line!

Mr. Fitzgerald was secured by the dear woman who asked me to be the executor of her estate prior to her passing. I appreciate their assistance at each step of the way from filing the necessary paperwork with the court to distribution of all assets. This is not a process for the faint of heart but wor...king with Mr. Fitzgerald and his staff enabled each request of the deceased to be followed to the 'tee'. Thanks again!

Made a new friend

I hired Mr Fitzgerald and it has been one of the single best decisions I could’ve made. He has gone above and beyond what I believe anyone would expect of their attorney. He takes the time to make sure you’re comfortable with any and all decisions. I feel that I have truly made a friend for life. Mr ...Fitzgerald is a wonderful attorney and a better man.
