KNOWLEDGEABLE ,PROFESSIONAL and TRUSTWORTHY

I was in an abusive marriage. I was told by my controlling husband I had no rights. The day I walked into Attorney Christopher Abernathy's office I was blessed by him and his staff. Chris and his staff helped me through the toughest time of my life. Chris stood up for me and my family. Chris went ...against my ex-husbands high dollar attorney's and protected my rights. Chris went over and beyond to fight for what was rightfully mine in my marriage. He did not once hesitate to show the court the lies and games my ex-husband and his attorney's pulled. Chris was always calm and professional. He always took my calls, text messages and answered my emails promptly. He even answered my emails on a Sunday. Divorce is worse than death. Chris is the guy you want to represent you. To speak for you in court. He knows the law. At one point in court when he pointed out a law to the judge. The judge had to call for a recess to review the law. She came back and stated Chris was correct and ruled in my favor. I am telling you if you want the BEST you want Christopher R Abernathy by your side. He gets things done fast and efficient. He charges the going rate and keeps cost down because he doesn't drag things on. I can go on and on about how Chris saved me from a nightmare. Trust me you can TRUST him. Thank you Chris! You and your staff are a true blessing.

Well worth it

I hired Mr. Abernathy's firm after I fired my first attorney. I met with him two days before a hearing. He was able to rearrange some things and have someone attend my hearing so I was represented. He did everything to help me during this case. Not only did he appear in family court but he also r...epresented me in Child support court after my ex had my wages garnished after I had been paying. Chris was able to get the garnishment lifted as I had not missed a payment. I did not always like everything Chris had to say because I did not agree with how the law works in California. Chris explained the process to me and did an amazing job to represent my best interests. I am completely satisfied with the outcome of my divorce. I also worked with Rebecca Perkins during my case. She was also amazing. The firm was patient with me and helped me through everything. Both attorneys provided me with sound legal advice and minimized the financial hit I took.

I am so thankful for your representation Attorney Abernathy

I will be forever be thankful for you Chris. I'm so glad I hired you to represent me and my daughter with her custody. After almost two years of going back and forth to court, today was one of the greatest days of my life when you were able to keep my current orders. I was scared to death of almost l...osing my baby to my ex. But you are so knowledgeable and confident. You worked miracles. You and your staff are so professional, helpful and kind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Highly Recommended

I am grateful to have found Mr. Abernathy when I did. Divorce can be draining in every possible way, from emotionally, to physically and not to mention financially. Because I had to look for new legal representation, I was guarded and feeling previously taken advantage of. I had even lost hope tha...t I could start-over and find new representation. Mr. Abernathy soon picked-up on how guarded I was and took the time to explain how important it was that I trust him. He asked I not allow my previous experience from truly giving him a chance. Today…I do believe I would Not have gone through what I did prior to retaining Mr. Abernathy’s help if I had found him first. He is an expert at what he does and is highly respected for it. He gets results, all while protecting your legal rights. He is direct, and to the point when handling your case, never wasting your time or his. I had to learn not to take this personally, but rather appreciate it knowing he had my best interest as his client. It’s important to know and remember that attorneys are not our therapist :) I am just as thankful to his staff for all their assistance. I highly recommend Mr. Abernathy’s representation….Thank you all again!

A Very Wonderful Man!

This is the man that you want by your side in court- he is assertive, honest, passionate, fair, & confident. Walking into a courtroom can be overwhelming, family court in particular can be frightening with its never ending variables- Mr. Abernathy's presence removes the feelings of dread & replaces t...hem with a sense of security. He & his staff are kind, warm, professionals that take pride in their work, are responsive, & very hands on in each of their cases- never once will you feel as if you are left in the dark. Mr. Abernathy himself is very attentive to his clients & their needs, he makes himself available by email or text & is always quick to respond. Though no lawyer can be a miracle worker, I saw many that promised me the moon before I met with Mr. Abernathy- never once did I feel like a walking paycheck to this man; he was straight forward with me, honest about what he could do, & fair about how he could go about it. We achieved everything that we could & then some! My family & I are more than happy with the results of Mr. Abernathy's representation & forever grateful for all he & his team have done. With so many lawyers out there, I know that finding a good one can seem like a daunting task. I am grateful that I was referred to Mr. Abernathy & highly recommend any who are seeking counsel to contact him immediately.
