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!

Highly Efficient

My consultations with Chris have been very productive, and I wish I had shopped around more, found and retained him at the time of my initial separation case. Chris quickly answers questions and validates direction as a strong advocate, but also explains likely opposing party and court views for any... given set of circumstances or motion. He is personable and practical, sensitive to emotional impact on children, always conscious of legal costs, all of which gives me confidence that I am making the right decisions under his guidance.

Military divorce

Chris was a breath of fresh air. I met with a couple lawyers before him and I chose Chris because he answered all my questions without making me feel as if my questions were ridiculous or a waste of time. He made me feel at ease and really calmed me through this stressful process. I let him know I wa...s active duty military and constantly traveling. He ensured me it wouldn't be a problem and he was right. His staff was fantastic, easy to work with and ran through a secure site making it easier to receive and submit documents. I also let him know that as a mother of toddler twins getting ready to be on a single income I needed up front the costs I would be enduring. He said he would guide me through and assist me on the best way to keep the cost as low as we can. Chris and his team followed through and kept me posted through everything he briefed and needed to brief through this stressful process. His advise helped me keep this divorce as easy and pain free as possible with my ex spouse. Thank Chris and the team at Mcfarling law group for all you did for my children and I.

Very professional and understood our needs

Chris was added to our 3 year long custody battle case towards the end of the battle. He read through our entire case to understand the ins and outs of what we have already been through and listened to what our end goal was. He understood our stance we wanted to take and handled not only our case, bu...t my husband and I with regard that we truly appreciate. I know we hire attorneys to fight the legalities of these matters, but my husband and I feel it wasn't just that. Chris understood our concerns, he calmed me down when I was crying from the stressful situation. He put things into a different perspective for us when it was hard to see through it. He explained anything we had questions too and explained them clearly so that "we" which are not lawyers could understand. He never promised us anything other than we are in this together and we will figure this out. People have to understand nothing is guaranteed. Lawyers cannot or I should say, should not promise you anything because you don't know what could happen in court. My husband and I felt confident throughout the process with Chris. He handled our situation so perfectly and worked with us on anything we needed. We never felt any pressure from him or any negative feelings. We HIGHLY recommend Chris to anyone reading this and our family and friends. Thank you Chris for everything!
