Amazing and Caring Lawyer
I initially spoke to Chris when a friend referred me to him for consultation regarding starting a divorce process. However, it was soon evident that I would need to hire a lawyer to help me navigate what was potentially going to be a messy and long divorce, mostly concerning money and our one child t...

Best Family Law Attorney
I am so grateful to Chris for his excellent work on my case. He was professional, diligent, and compassionate throughout the whole process. He always kept me informed and answered all my questions. He fought hard for my rights and got me the best possible outcome. I can't thank him enough for his ama...

Calm, Cool, and Collected
I was feeling hopeless in the battle against my abusive ex-husband when I met Chris. My previous representation had done a poor job during my initial hearing, so I had little money to extend and even less trust. Unlike my first lawyer, Chris delivered on the commitments he made to me, and worked effi...

Amazing and effective
My divorce has languished in the courts for over four years. Chris came on to help me on recommendation from several other attorneys for a post-decree issue- and it was one of the best decisions I could have made. I only wish I would have made that decision four years ago! He listens, genuinely car...

Smooth Divorce
Chris was on top of everything the whole time and was great at keeping me in the loop. He was quick to answer any questions I had and made sure I understood what was going on every step of the way. I highly recommend hiring Chris to represent you during your divorce. Thank you very much Chris.
"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."
