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.

Does what he says he will do
Chris is an excellent attorney. He gives sound advice, stays focused on the case, and is there for the client 100% of the time. Having had another attorney representing me in the past, I wish I had Chris representing me from the beginning. Hire him! He will do you right.

Chris is an freaking awesome attorney!!!
I was given Chris' name from a friend of mine who had used him for her divorce. Never in my life would I have thought I would be going through a divorce after 21 years of marriage. However, here I am no regrets in meeting Chris or hiring him to represent me in my divorce. I honestly am thankful f...
"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."
