Proffesional, kind and patient.

Christopher Alderman was awesome helping me with my custody case. He was always so helpful whenever I had a question and so patient with my situation. Him and Angie make you feel welcome and always are there should you not understand something or have concerns. I believe the fees are also not bad and... I felt it was great representation for what I paid. I also really appreciate the proffesionalism. Even with our hearing being over webcam, he still presented himself to the judge as if he'd be sitting in the court room that day, in a suit and ready to represent me in a proffesional manner. Along side with that, his understanding and helpful approach is why 5 out of 5 stars is what he deserves.

Divorce During COVID

Mr. Alderman and Maria is legal assistant worked on my case for four months. I am a nurse and am exposed to the COVID virus every day. They were willing to work with me and meet me if needed through the entire case. When the opposing lawyer said no to all parties meeting face to face, Mr. Alderman... said yes. We never did meet in person. Such a strange time right now. His professionalism and dedication to my case could not be matched. If I had a question or needed more information I received an immediate response. Divorce is a very hard time. I am thankful both Mr. Alderman and Maria were there to help me through this time.

Best attorney and team!

Christopher Alderman and his team did a great job for my divorce process. They really helped me with all the issues and did it fast. They were available on a daily basis and responded directly to my questions promptly and professionally. They kept me informed throughout the process. All the staff are... extremely knowledgeable, professional and prompt. My experience with McFarling has been excellent. Christopher Alderman is talented, honest and experienced lawyer. He went beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better law firm or attorney. I would recommend and referred him to friends and family. Highly recommended if you want results!

A Firm to be mirrored

I had a consultation with Mr. Alderman. I was worried about my divorce situation with 3 children I tend to over think to much believing that I would lose my children because of all the misinformation that I was given by other "family law attorney's". Let me just say Mr. Alderman and the staff at this... law firm put my mind and heart at ease by not just telling me but actually explaining the process,giving me option's and giving hope knowing that someone who genuinely cares will be at my side!

Top Notch, Professional, Honest, and Caring

This man Chris, he is awesome. From day one, I had the feeling I was in great hands and that I would be able to lean on him for support and guidance. As a father, I was very concerned about losing my daughter to someone that had never taken her to the doctor's or dentist once. After, talking with him.... I know that I was in good hands. He was honest, trustworthy, and professional at all times. He provided guidance and never pressured anything. It was always a discussion. He understood that I did not have a lot of money and allowed for me to help with as much as possible to keep that cost down. You will not find that in most attorneys. I will refer him to my military brother and sisters. My friends and their family’s god forsake it ever happen to them. But this man is awesome and deserves to be recognized for it. I don’t think that I will find this honesty or level of caring from any other attorney. Hands down that best.
