Kris is masterful with people, not just the law...

I am supremely impressed with Kris Greenwood. Kris understands the law and is very thorough and professional in his practice, with a staff to match, as one would expect. But his real magic is on the “human side”. Kris totally understood where I was coming from and what I was trying to accomplish... in my divorce, and worked expertly and efficiently to get me there. He educated me in each area as it came up, in a succinct and efficient manner. We did a lot of “finessing” in my divorce case… I wanted to be sure I understood what the law would allow while at the same time trying to get there through persuasion rather than legal force. I wanted to optimize between legal results and preserving as much good will as possible with my spouse, and sanity for our kids. Kris was totally on board with this; he understood that he was helping me reengineer my family and that the stakes were huge with kids involved. Kris was certainly able and willing to be aggressive, but backed off when I asked him to after he made sure I understood all implications of my proposed decision. Kris had me negotiating from a position of competence and strength. I felt like I knew what I was doing and in control. We ended up crafting a great agreement without going to court… but If our negotiations didn’t go so well and I needed to go to court, Kris would definitely be the guy I would want to handle that too. I could not be happier with this result! I am especially grateful to be through this trying time with little to no negative impact on our children. I cannot imagine that many lawyers could have made this happen for me in the same way. Thank you Kris and staff, you guys did a great thing!

Great family law attorney

Kristopher Greenwood is a very outstanding family law attorney. I was impressed with is passion, understanding, and experience in helping in my case. He was consistently assertive in representing personal needs and was appropriately aggressive when necessary. He was timely, courteous, and very respec...tful. His staff was very professional, pleasant, and helpful. I recommend Kris to all who need help with any family law matters.

Choose Kris Greenwood as your first attorney!

My divorce has been very difficult! I was very worried about my daughter and the negative impact the situation was having on her life. My previous attorney was nice but just wanted to do paperwork. Kris combines knowledge, hard work, integrity, over 20 experience and wisdom into absolute brilliance t...o fight for me and my daughter! He thoroughly explained how things work in divorce and custody cases and answered all my questions. Kris took the time to ask questions to understand the uniqueness of my situation. I felt heard. He was prepared and positive for all the meetings which included several court appearances and mediation. Kris is amazing, humble and absolutely nothing seems to surprise him. He focuses on the big picture while taking care of all the details. It is now possible to move forward with my life! I have sole legal and sole physical custody of my daughter and thank God she is getting her life back! Sherry

Absolutely the best man you can hire!

Kris Greenwood has been my only positive experience in dealing with many attorneys in the last 10 years of my life. He is very genuine and truly cares about his clients rights and needs. He is always there to help clarify the road ahead and all possible outcomes. He is very descriptive and helps hi...s clients feel at ease, which helps a great deal in trusting his work. Kris works very hard behind the scenes to not burden the client with overwhelming documentation. My life was overran with stress and despair before switching over to Kris. My first meeting with him I knew he wasn’t just blowing smoke, this guy is the real deal and has a ton of experience that I needed. I have spent many thousands of dollars defending myself against attorneys that are willing to bring frivolous lawsuits before the court. Kris is one of the very few ethical and moral attorneys left in this practice. I am grateful he took my case and appreciate his efforts defending my family.

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.
