Couldn't ask for more on any level.

ATTORNEY CHRIS MOVA…his passion for people’s problems equals his success rate. Where do I begin? I turned to the first attorney recommended, NOT Chris, who berated me for waiting until the last minute, 2 year time frame to file. And, yes, I did wait till the LAST possible moment, there were reason...s, not excuses that were varied. I fell over myself apologizing. That wasn't enough, that attorney took 3 precious days to say he didn't want my case, and went as far to personally criticize me, it was honestly unbelievable. THEN CAME CHRIS! Chris is immensely KIND, supportive, professional, approachable, detailed, respectful, available AND successful!! I honestly cannot begin to list all his positive attributes. it has been a joy and a highlight of my day to receive calls and updates over the few months he took. Even if there wasn't a contrast between ugly tempered and professional, Chris has totally rocked. Chris WON. I won. We won. He took a case, that was deserving, but complex, and yet was very successful. He WON! So, I won. What can I say? He is a breath of fresh air. A compassionate human being and an extremely competent professional. I’m blessed to have met him and had his support and help and ultimately experienced his passion for helping people, this equals his success rate, in my opinion. Gotta love this attorney!! And it was handled long distance, kinda. He and his wife are coming to town, so we can actually finally meet. I’m looking forward to it…...

Assistance

Mr. Movafagh was very clear that he could not handle my case but was very kind to suggest I call him (even on a sat) to hear my case and give any advise he could. I called him on a Monday and he called me back. He listened to my case and provided his input and sent me a couple of names of lawyers who... I should contact. Thank you so much for your help!!

Best Lawyer I've Ever Had

Chris and Paula are AMAZING people!   I spoke with and went into at least 8 different law offices before I came to Mova Law Group.  Upon entering I was greeted warmly from Paula who looked to be super busy, but immediately stopped what she was doing to make me feel welcome.  She went over my lawsu...it details with me and relayed them to Chris (who has no problem fighting hard for "the little guy.")  When I got into Chris' office it just kind of felt right.  He had talked the talk and looked the part, but wasn't the same pompous ass that you get from most lawyers.  Chris was genuinely nice, very pleasant to speak with and very smart and on his A game.       The best part for me was that I was moving from San Diego to Chicago for family and didn't have time to be there to keep coming in and be there for the whole rigamarole that I would've assumed that came with a lawsuit against a large grocery outlet.  They kept me informed at every turn and let me know any time there was a change with the case.  Never will I go to a different law group or firm.  This experience was great from beginning to end.  And happy ending it was, the little guy ended up winning and getting more than he assumed.  Chris...Paula...You are both my heroes!  Thank you so so much for this and everything that you did for me.  And doing it with a smile and sounding so happy about doing it!
