Extremely pleased

I just completed my first transaction with Chris Lincoln. I chose her to write my will from a church bulletin ad. I am extremely pleased with the service I received from Chris and her staff. They were prompt, polite, and professional. I liked that they were easy to work with and responded in a posit...ive manner to all of my requests. If the occasion arises, I will definitely use her again as well as recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer.

The most responsive Attorney I have ever had

Chris was my attorney in a simple, collaborative divorce. She would not take my case until she had finished representing her existing clients which speaks for itself. Since then I have hired her to draw up a will, and a prenuptial, and she is the first person that I call when I have a legal questi...on. Chris is extremely detailed and trustworthy. In fact, she is the Executor in my will. I have several other attorneys that I use for various business reasons, and none of them is as accessible and responsive as Chris. Finally, she has never over billed me so I have no idea where another reviewer on this website is coming from on this issue. I found quite the opposite. Her fees are reasonable and she states them upfront.

Outstanding Marital Dispute

I used Christine Lincoln as my divorce attorney. She was very competent and thorough, allowing for the dissolving of my marriage in a timely and efficient manner. She explained the entire process before anything started, she then followed through on every bit she said she would, she kept me focused... and was a great sounding board for me in my confusing time. From beginning to end, she was knowledgeable and confident helping me throughout. Thanks,

The BEST is putting it mildly!

Chris came highly recommended to me when my Divorce began. She is very trustworthy, professional, and always has her clients best interest at heart! She knows divorce is emotional, regardless of the situation. I know I wasn't thinking rationally during my divorce, but Chris was there to do that f...or me. Many attornies use your emotion for their benefit. I hope to not personally need her as a Divorce Attorney again, but I have referred and highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best. My divorce started in September 2011 and was final the first week of December 2011. I'm happy to personally speak to anyone looking for questions from a client perspective. My review is my own personal opinion, I'm a real past client with a real case #

My Lincoln Lawyer

I have used Chris Lincoln's services on several matters of some importance to me (divorce, wills, POAs). She has always been highly professional and has a no-nonsense, efficient approach that I appreciate. I always felt that she was my advocate and acted in my best interest. I consider her "my Lin...coln lawyer" and will contact her again when I am in need of such services.

Her fees were reasonable; bills arrived promptly and included detailed diary entries. She returned the remainder of the retainer within days of the final decree.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
