Unprofessional

Ms. Day was my original representation. She stood up for me and tried her best to get my case dismissed, then all of a sudden she’s not my attorney anymore. I talked to Mr. Tolbert and he laughed at me when I said I want my case to be dismissed. I decided to go with someone else and he didn’t update ...my new attorney on anything. I have never been in trouble and I’m going through so much money, stress and time. I just want to put this behind me and he just wants money.

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.

Awesome Attorney

I would be very remiss not to share with you the name of an incredible young man, who well represented and served my family during a very difficult time, wherein an attorney was needed. His name, Attorney Chris Tolbert should be a household name for any and all of your legal matters, as he is highly ...diverse and grounded in most (if not all) areas of law! Mr. Tolbert stands for justice and is dedicated to the cause, he comes highly recommended for he has made my family proud! We WON, We WON!!! Thank you Mr. Tolbert for all you do and have done! Write his name down and mount it to your refrigerator cause you never know, we sure didn't. Thanks and take care!

Amazing Attorney

If I had to describe Chris Tobert in one word, the word would be Amazing. This attorney is like no other that I've ever seen. I was referred to Mr. Tolbert by a Supervisor at my job that spoke highly of him not knowing his skill set. When I finally meet him, I was very impressed with how personable/p...rofessional he was. I had to get some documents revised and handle some more personal issues which required an Attorney. When I reached out to Mr. Tolbert, he immediately called me to get information on my situation and had his secretary set an appointment up with me immediately. Shortly after that, the case well on it's way and the court date was set. I've found that most attorneys are standoffish and you can't even reach them in the time of need but this was never the case with Mr. Tolbert. When I needed him, he was right there and able to answer any questions I had. During the process and court proceedings, Mr Tolbert went into the court room with pure facts based off of a wealth of knowledge that which ended up winning my case. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone because you can't go wrong with him as your Attorney. Mr. Tolbert is honest will all information one of the best attorney's I have ever seen in a very long time.

Outstanding Lawyer

Chris is a very respectful and caring lawyer. He kept me and my family at ease throughout the whole process. He represented me very well. His defense and closing argument was remarkable. I cant thank him enough for taking my case all the way to trial. The verdict was Not Guilty. The best feeling in t...he world and I owe all my thanks to Chris Tolbert.
