Kris Greenwood

Kris did a fabulous job for my son in a very complicated divorce case. He was there for us every step of the way, listening to all of our concerns and making sure we understood how to move forward through all of the twists and turns of the case. We simply could not have had a more dedicated, knowl...edgeable, professional, thorough, or compassionate friend on our side helping us through a very difficult situation. We highly recommend him!

Hands down best Lawyer out there!

Kris is absolutely wonderful! His professionalism, knowledge, and expertise is far above any other lawyer. He has showed me that by bringing victory to my case multiple times; dealing with two different lawyers since my divorce has started. He is not just a wonderful lawyer but a compassionate person... as well, as he truly cares about the well being of me and my children. He has counseled, advised and guided me through this whole process and has never been wrong. Kris knows what he is doing, and predicts the outcomes. Time and time again he has predicted what would happen in my case, and not only was correct on the outcome, but it was also in my favor. He works hard to provide my kids and I the best possible life during such a huge trial in our lives. I am beyond blessed to have Kris as my lawyer, I trust his judgement and decisions completely. Divorce is difficult enough with the uncertainty and stress, however, Kris has always calmed me down and given me peace through this storm. Hire Kris as your lawyer, he will not disappoint you! Kris's supporting staff is also wonderful, great customer service and patient. I can not praise Kris and his staff enough. I don't know what I would do if I did not hire him as my lawyer - the victories he has brought to my case will benefit my children and I for years to come!

Better get Kris before your Ex does!!!

I can't recommend Kris and his firm enough!! If you want results get Kris!! I don’t know what I would have done without his counsel through my divorce. He is honest, GREAT with communication, thorough, extremely organized, considerate, compassionate, towards me and brutal towards my ex haha, and so m...uch more! He would return my phone calls, texts and emails right away or at least in the same day and was always honest with his advice on what I could expect and where I stood throughout my divorce. He took time to listen to all of my concerns and desires and answered any questions I had very matter-of-factly, truthfully and completely. I always felt and knew he had my best interest in mind and was committed in helping me fight for and achieve the best possible outcome. I could not have been more pleased with how events in my divorce transpired and my ex hates my guts so that definitely reaffirmed the fact that I had the best lawyer out there! I highly highly highly recommend Kris for any of your legal needs. Not only is he great but his staff is amazing as well. Everyone in his office is so kind and they all work so hard for the success of the cases they have. Hey, I knew I had the right lawyer when we showed up for our temporary orders hearing and Kris had a Knight chess piece pin on his jacket; he is very skilled at what he does. I can’t stress enough how quickly you need to hire him before your ex does! If you want results, hire Kris and his firm! He is without a doubt the best around!!

Provided the support I needed

I had been struggling with an ongoing emotional divorce battle for three years. One final Mediation left per a court order after 3 other tries at it before going to trial. My current lawyer was leaving the family practice law area. I found Kris based on a recommendation from a friend. Despite a heavy... workload, which he communicated to me, he made the time and came to the mediation knowing he would be taking on my case IF mediation again failed. He provided awesome suggestions and support. I felt comfortable with him. Kris is professional, direct, confident and provided what I needed emotionally. Needless to say... four hours later, I have my life back with a successful mediation and in our favor for the most part. Thank you Kris for being there.

Posted by Jeremy | February 03, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

Best Lawyer in the business!!

I hired Kris in an effort to terminate alimony that I owed to my ex-wife for over 10 more years. My alimony bill was extremely high and while my ex-wife had moved on with another man, she was extremely determined to protect her spousal support. Kris came highly recommended in regards to alimony cases... so I met with him and discussed all the in’s and outs of my case in an effort to see if I had legal grounds to move forward. It was a very complicated case as my ex-wife was extremely careful to keep separate addresses with her boyfriend even though they spent most nights together, spent holidays and special occasions together, and basically blended their families together. Kris was very enthusiastic about my chance, immediately laid out a plan of attack and got right to work. One of the best things about Kris is that he takes the time to make sure you understand what’s going on and what he needs from you every step of the way. My case went on over the course of 10 months as we collected evidence and filed the proper motions to move the case forward. At every turn I felt extremely confident about what was going on due to Kris’ ability to respond to questions in a timely manner, calm my nerves when I would find myself getting nervous about my situation and always reassuring me that we had put ourselves in a strong position. I’d also like to point out that from the very beginning, Kris basically foreshadowed how each event in our case would play out and as the case wore on, he was correct every time. The guy simply knows his law better than the attorney he’s up against. In the end, I saw something I thought I’d never see: Kris put so much pressure on my ex-wife that she walked away from the remaining 10 years of her alimony in a settlement that ended my alimony obligation within 60 days. While it ultimately ended up being my decision to accept the settlement in an effort to immediately end future legal fee’s and court costs, I’m completely confident that the case Kris had compiled against my ex-wife was going to prevail should we have gone through future hearings and even a trial. Obviously, my ex-wife and her council felt the same way as they showed absolutely no interest in letting this play out in the courts. Kris is a bulldog for his clients, he leaves no stone unturned as his attention to even the smallest detail is extremely thorough, and he’ll give you tough, honest answers even if it’s not what you want to hear. Thanks to Kris’ abilities in family law, my family now gets to move forward with our lives without the cloud of long-term alimony hanging over our heads. If you’re looking for a lawyer in family law, stop looking immediately and call Kris Greenwood.
