This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Wonderful lawyer

Chris represented me in a divorce and continues to represent me in custody issues. Not only does Chris fight for his clients in court but he really listens to his clients when preparing for proceedings. He is also excellent at estate planning.

Excellent Lawyer

Chris Wages was very competent in helping me with all of my estate planning needs. I felt he was very knowledgeable in this area of practice and answered all of my many questions during the process. Also, his staff was very courteous and helpful along the way. They truly went out of their way to m...ake me feel at ease. You cannot find a better attorney than Chris Wages.

I would hire him again!

Chris helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I was impressed by how effective he was in the courtroom. I also appreciated his excellent staff who were always very polite and took the time to make sure I knew what was happening in my case.
