Best Car Accident Lawyer!!!
Car accidents are no fun at all. Especially when that accident is not your fault. When mine happened, I had no idea where to turn. I was injured, my car was totaled, and I was completely clueless on how to proceed. I was referred to Chris by a friend and it was the best decision I ever made. Not only did Chris quickly help me get a rental car, but he showed me how to handle all of my insurance issues for me, and helped facilitate all of my doctor visits and health care needs so that I could simply focus on getting better. His kindness through the entire process, and attention to every detail, made the insurance claim so much easier on me. I am incredibly grateful he was attentive, professional and so hard working. He had my best interest at heart and when the insurance tried to give me a low rate, he fought for what he thought I deserved. Chris made sure before he closed my case that everything was in place and I got the best deal you can get for a case like mine. Thank you again Chris wouldn’t of had it any other way.

Chris got my life back
I recently sought the services of Chris Blaylock to take on a large Southern California Property Management Company regarding a harassing neighbor of mine that the property management company was ignoring multiple issues and not doing anything about the situation. Upon Chris initiating contact with the property management they tried to put him off as well but he pursued the manner and followed up with phone. Chris was finally able to force action on the property management company to evict the harassing neighbor in a very short period of time. Thanks to Chris I am no longer a prisoner in my own home. I highly recommend you give Chris an opportunity to help you out, I have seen him in action.

Courteous, Prompt, Efficient, Superb--you can't ask for more!
I’m elated to know that when I’m looking for quality services, customer service, and results, Yelp and it’s user base can more often than not guide you towards making the decision that suits you best. In my case, Yelp played a pivotal role in me selecting the Law Offices of C.W. Blaylock. Chris Blaylock was courteous, informational, and completely professional throughout every exchange we’ve had—both pre and post case trial. There are a plethora of attorneys that one can chose to represent them with their legal matters, but not all are as genuine and genial as the experience I’ve had in dealing with Blaylock. Every email was responded to promptly and every question that I had was answered in a superb manner; I was never kept in the dark about any aspect of my case, and I was quickly updated on the results shortly after my hearing. Chris Blaylock not only delivered, but went above & beyond my expectations, through the use of his excellent and prompt customer service, as well as taking an extreme emotional burden off of my shoulders. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris Blaylock to anyone for their legal representation needs! Affordable, Unparalleled Customer Service, and delivered results beyond my expectations—what more can you ask for?

This is your guy!
I hired Chris for a legal matter and he outperformed expectations. I would definitely use him again (hopefully never have to) and would recommend him to friends or family. No, I'm not paid to write this review, I actually hired him for services that were rendered with excellent results.

Great Criminal Attorney
Chris helped me with a criminal matter that I had and it was dismissed. Chris is extremely professional and responsible, he kept in touch with me throughout every stage of the process, and updated me on everything, these are things many attorneys overlook. You get a personal one on one experience with Chris and his services are invaluable. I would definitely recommend him!

Christopher William Blaylock & his team are WONDERFUL!!!!
I have never met Chris Blaylock in person; however, speaking to him on a nconstant bases makes me feel as if I've known him all my life. Chris Blaylock went above and beyond for me and he continues to do so. I currently have a PI case he is working on and I had a Criminal case he worked on and the charges were dropped. After going through a horrible divorce, my life crumbled and I found myself in situations no one wants to be in but Chris Blaylock was and is kind, gentle and very attentive to my needs and concerns. He is available always whether by phoen, email or text. Chris Blaylock and his team are very professional and capable of handling any case you may have. I am very pleased with his firm and if (hopefully never) get into trouble again, Chris Blaylock and his firm will be the first and only call I make. May God continue to bless C.W. Blaylock & the Law Offices of C.W. Blaylock.

Chris stands out in the sea of lawyers!
Chris treated me as his #1 priority from the beginning of my case to the very end and i am sure he will continue to do so if i need him or have any questions in the future. What I like about Chris is his attention to your personal care and well being. He is honest and did not feed me any bs or try to over deliver. You will not be disappointed in Chris, i would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional , easy to talk to, caring lawyer.

Great job Chris!
Great job Chris on dismissing my case! Would recommend Chris to any one in any case :) He knows what he's doing! Thanks again Chris

Thank you Christopher! Excellent Attorney, Personal Injury!
Mr. Blaylock was excellent in my Personal Injury case that occurred in a car accident in May of 2012. He was honest, thoughtful, thorough, and gave me good advice. I am certain if I were to ever have an accident again or know of someone that did, I would recommend him without hesitation. Dealing with the injuries of a car accident is hard enough, not to mention losing time from work, and then having to entertain the notion that insurance companies only want to give the minimum. Having an attorney you can trust makes this ordeal a little less frustrating and at least protected. Thanks to his persistence I was able to get the maximum in my case, and now feel whole again. Thank you Christopher, your time and efforts are sincerely appreciated! Ms. E.S.

Great attorney for my probation violation matter
Mr. Blaylock listened to my concerns and was very punctual on conveying to the judge the key matters that showed I was unjustly accused of violating my probation. I was somewhat worried going to court but Chris assured me he would do his best and his best was better than I had given him credit for. I received NO violation and my life can continue on as planned. Thank You Chris
