I work in a profession where I am a frequent witness of lawyer’s performance in family law matters and can spot the good from the bad quickly. Upon meeting Chris, I know I was in the company of one of the best. He is assertive, intelligent, and fiercely looks out for his clients. He was referred to... me through an attorney I work for, with this attorney (who I deeply respect) describing Chris as one of his most formidable opponents and praised the way that Chris will tenaciously fight for his clients. My attorney/ client relationship with Chris ultimately ended up being quite extensive- he secured a permanent restraining order against my first husband, was my divorce attorney, provided counsel on my prenup for my second marriage, and ultimately terminated my former husband’s parental rights so that my second husband could adopt my children. He is steadfast and quick in the court room and has an impressive recall of case details. It was very comforting (and honestly at times amusing) to watch Chris slay the opposing party, to the extent that my former husband took to social media bemoaning how bad he was being beat by Chris in court. Chris knows the Court system and offers a realistic portrait regarding potential outcomes in the case. His office staff is a great team- all documentation and issues were thoroughly looked into. I would definitely refer Chris as a strong and skilled aggressive attorney for any potential client who has legal issues- they will be in good hands.

Chris went over and beyond to help pursue my case and do what was right for me and my family. I will never be able to repay him for all the hard work he put into my case. He is well supported by a very professional and effective staff that kept me informed at all times as to what was going on in my c...ase.

After hiring a friends recommended attorney, it was very disheartening that an imminent concern for my child and his well being were scheduled for five months later! After realizing that I had hired incompetent representation, (note that attorney had no team, and made changes due "no time to meet"), ...I went with another attorney after meeting with the para legal. However, once again, an embarrassment of representation. After losing all faith in anyone caring in this field, I represented myself. At the next hearing, I witnessed an attorney represent his client quoting laws, referring to prior case outcomes, and fighting for the rights of his client. I did not know his name and my palms were sweaty and I was a mess because I had to represent myself right after that performance!! The next court session that I went too, it was like watching a sequel that actually gets better. Mr. Abernathy was incredible and knowledgeable of all aspects of his field. Chris Abernathy told me something I think every individual entering a difficult divorce and custody resolve should hear, "you need competent representation, what you are asking for could have been done easily and by you for free. Those are your rights." Needless to say, Chris has the most incredible team. They communicate and treat you the way someone needs to be treated under such hard times in life. Thank you to Chris, Alicia, Tina, Vanessa and Kristen or being an elite team that has been an honor to work with during the hardest time of my life. The knowledge and drive of this team has helped me get me the right outcomes and my child protected in a short time span. My advice to any parent reading reviews and worried about protecting their children while fighting for their own rights, just pick Team Abernathy. And do it now.

I have been a client of Mr. Abernathy’s for several years. He has handled child custody matters for me and several members of my family. I decided to use Mr. Abernathy’s services after I first observed him speak before the court on the behalf of another. His knowledge of the law, his cool demeanor... and his competent legal prowess had a number of clients asking for his business card as he left the court room. I recently had to seek the services of Mr. Abernathy’s office for a less than cooperative divorce. His office was very professional but most important, they were efficient. Mr. Abernathy displayed the same professionalism as his office and did not try to mislead or misdirect me in order to draw out our time and fees together. He drew from his vast experience and court house knowledge to inform me of a likely disposition scenario. This mimicked what I had expected or wanted as my divorce dissolution. I was more than pleased with the outcome of my divorce, the services of Mr. Abernathy and his staff. I was so impressed with Mr. Abernathy’s abilities; I referred him to many Officers from my Police Dept. Those who have used his services have also had a more than positive outcome to their divorce and custody matters. Mr. Abernathy’s services didn’t end with my divorce. Several years after, when my daughter turned 18, He continued to represent me. Mr. Abernathy reviewed my status and was able to get me a reduction in my child support and was able to do it without me going to court. I would strongly recommend and still do recommend Mr. Abernathy’s family law services to anyone in need of an aggressive and talented attorney. He is the most competent and experienced family law attorney that I’ve seen and would hate to be on the opposition side of his representation.
