I will forever be grateful!
I finally found Chris for my ongoing extremely difficult divorce and appeal. He is the 4th attorney during the legal process. I really wish he was the only one from the beginning. Chris handled both appeal, and trial incredible well. There is not enough word to explain his personality, his intelligen...

Excellent and compassionate
Chris was wonderful to work with. We were in a tumultuous situation As most people find themselves in during these times. Our conversations with Chris were very calming. I will have to add though that even though his communication with us was very calming, whenever we ran into a potential glitch he w...

Best Lawyer ever
We had a fantastic experience with Christopher McLane, he saved us from a horrible experience with another attorney that really dropped the ball.

Sorry
Sorry I can not be as positive as the rest of the reviews here. Chris was generally very unresponsive. At times I went months without getting a response, even when I begged him by email, text, and voicemail, with messages like "Chris this is XYZ, if you recall, I am a paying client." Unfortunately ...
"Chris is a true professional. From my experience with Chris, he gets right to the meat of the issue and focuses on solutions rather than litigating the litigation unnecessarily. I endorse this lawyer."
"Chris hired me at Family Law Center of the Rockies. He was an excellent boss who let me learn my own way and make my own mistakes, while providing gentle guidance on how to win points with the judges. He was patient and easygoing. He also gave me interesting projects to work on and let me go to court for the practice. Chris was an excellent boss and mentor!"
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"Chris is a brilliant, zealous advocate; one who maintains his poise and professionalism while mopping the floor with the opposition. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
"Chris is a very skilled and knowledgeable lawyer in the field of family law. Not only must a skilled family law attorney know the substantive and procedural aspects of the law as it applies to a specific case, he or she must also have a developed sense of strategy and negotiation to assist parties in seeking alternative resolutions to their benefit. Chris has these skills. I would not hesitate in recommending Chris to a person seeking a great family law attorney."
