Posted by Colton | February 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Knowledgeable, Reasonably priced, and effective.

I have worked with Chris and some of his other associates several times on issues ranging from custody and divorce to corporations and trust issues. I have always found them to be reasonably priced, responsive, and true to their word of treating the client as an individual as opposed to a number. ...I have recommended the Ault Firm to friends and family and will continue to do so. I have worked with other lawyers and have found Chris and his team at the Ault Firm to be the best attorneys for me. They don’t run the bill up needlessly, they accomplish my goals, or tell me why I’m not being reasonable, but most importantly, they talk to me when I need to talk to them.

A++

Mr. Ault was a referral from a law firm practicing in a different field. I retained him for a divorce/custody case. He is easily reachable by various avenues and his staff is up to date on my case and can assist me when Mr. Ault is unavailable. One of the best qualities I like about Mr. Ault is he ...will give me the pros and cons to each situation. He will also give me best case, worst case, and his opinion on outcomes of certain decisions. So often, attorneys tell clients what they want to hear to keep the clients happy but this doesn't help clients make the best decision. I would recommend Mr. Ault for any areas of law he is practicing in. Many thanks to the team at Ault Legal.

Trusted and Easy to Talk to

I hired Mr. Ault to help with my divorce at the recommendation of another attorney friend of mine. When we first met he told me that most of his clients turn into friends going through the process. I was able to talk to him everytime I needed something unless I was in court. I was never scared to ...call him because he only charged for about half of the calls. The quote I got from him for the retainer was a little below the other quotes I received and we came in below that. Overall it was a great experience, given that I was going through a really tough time. He always told me what to expect without forcing one option or another on me, I felt in control.

Horrible attorney, NEVER helped me, harmed my case.

Mr. Ault handled my divorce/custody case in which domestic abuse played a part. He refused to get the video tape that proved that I was physically assaulted-which resulted in broken bones, and did not keep in touch with me, instead telling me that I wanted too much control of my case. He ended up not... informing me of a court date (during which he claimed I was a flight risk), which resulted in my son being given to my very abusive spouse for nearly two months, until I was able to obtain a good attorney who was working for me, not against me. Mr. Ault, however, still had am impact on the case that my new attorney presented, as he removed paperwork documenting broken bones and witness reports from my file before giving a copy of my file to myself and one to my new attorney.

Replied last September 22, 2012

this client is apparently upset; unfortunately she has failed to mention that she moved within a week of retaining us, changed her phone number and left us with no way to contact her. In addition, she has a seriously outstanding bill.

Great Attorney!

I had a difficult case, I was in an auto accident but there were some conflicting stories about what happened. I didn't seek treatment right away but I was hurt. My husband and I looked at several lawyers, including the guys you see on tv but we didn't want someone that was there for the "low hangi...ng fruit", we wanted an attorney that could actually know us and our case. Chris was that attorney for us. He got us over $50,000 after all of our medical expenses and attorneys fees were paid, and he got us the money fast. I could not have been happier with him or his staff! Any time anyone I need has an accident I immediately tell them to give Chris a call!
