Family Estate Planning

Chris Waller was extremely professional, caring and patient when assisting my mother with her Will in 2012. She was 92 at the time and had many questions and concerns, which Chris answered thoroughly, and with thoughtfulness. This put her, and us at ease with the process. When my mother passed away i...n 2013, Chris met us at court to probate her Will. Everything went as smooth as silk.Very proficient, kind and down to earth person. I highly, highly recommend Chris Waller for your family estate planning needs!

FELONY DISMISSED!!!

I got indicted on felony drug charges where I knew I was in a lot of trouble. Mr. Waller was working with me on a misdemeanor case. I was able to reach him on his cell phone over the holidays. he was willing to talk to me while I was stressing out over these charges. He was nice enough to take on th...ese new felony charges. Within a matter of weeks, he was able to get my charges dismissed!!. he truly cares about his clients and I would recommend him to any of my friends looking for a lawyer.

FACING PRISON TIME, GOT MY FELONY DISMISSED!!

I spent months in jail waiting for an outcome while Mr. Waller worked hard at trying to resolve this case. in the meantime, I was visited weekly by his office staff to be given updates. they were also very good at keeping my wife and family updated. Mr. Waller worked his magic and was able to get my ...felony charge dismissed. My family and I were surprised as I was facing over 20 years in prison. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a great attorney.

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.
