Horrible

Chris Tolbert is not someone I would recommend. My experience with him was disappointing. He didn't effectively handle my case. I would not even hire him for a simple traffic ticket. I felt like he was only interested in taking my money. He lacked the dedication and commitment I expected from a lawye...r. If you're looking for someone to fight for your case, I would advise against hiring him. Be cautious and consider other options.

Call Chris Tolbert Law PC for all your Legal Needs!

I did and Always Will! I am a management professional, single mother of 3 educated daughters and a career Project Manager with over 25 years of experience. About a year ago, out of the blue, I was defamed by a complete stranger resulting from a legal issue with someone else. When I read the venomou...s words from this stranger my body went limp. A few days later I was referred to Chris Tolbert of TOLBERT LAW PC and I’m here to say that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone seeking legal counsel. Mr. Chris Tolbert is a young, honest lawyer with a down to earth persona. He is Bold and has a vibe that immediately & calmly lets you know that you are in good hands. His sound reasoning and intellect communicated legal information into layman's terms that I understood and his set of moral standards stood out right away. His advice was clear and concise which allowed me to make decisions quickly and rationalize my legal expectations according to what the law calls for. Always up front, professional and reachable, Chris listened when I vented, cried and even shouted. He was always “present” and engaged in the conversation and took his time and explained the in/outs; ups/downs of defamation cases. He never hesitated to answer my thousands of questions and his character alone grounds him and puts forth a cheerful outlook in all situations. Mr. Tolbert’s intuition leads & inspires thoughtful words that come correct at the correct time and creates a true intention from him to his client. In addition, the staff at Tolbert Law PC resonates with the same principles that Chris leads with. They are professional, aware and always ensured contact was made in a timely manner. Chris Tolbert is a Winner! And that is why I’ve recommended him to two other very influential people with great outcomes as well. I can’t wait for the next person who needs legal help - I will send them straight to Chris Tolbert and you should too!

Outstanding Lawyer - Highly Recommend

Look no further. Chris Tolbert has been our Austin attorney since 2015 and has handled a family and criminal case for us. With each case, Chris made sure we thoroughly understood the process, provided comfort and ensured we’d receive justice and best outcome possible. He is extremely responsive, ...professional and patient. Legal troubles can be scary and expensive. His fees are reasonable. He will go above and beyond for your needs. We highly recommend Chris Tolbert.
