Prenuptial Agreement Done to Satisfaction

I hired Christopher to do my prenuptial agreement. He took my information, explained the process and did things timely without delay. Good work and I would hire him again.

Posted by Wayne | December 18, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Very Good Attorney

Christopher took my case from start to finish. Answered all my questions and explained the process. It was a straight forward divorce. I recommend this attorney.

Posted by Ruben | November 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Exceptional Attorney

Christopher took my case and listened and prepared me for what was to come. His knowledge and skills really helped me in getting through this difficult divorce. I recommend him for divorce. He gets the job done. I was able to get divorced and got a fair settlement with custody and property division....

Excellent attorney

Christopher Dull is an excellent attorney. I hired Mr. Dull to help me finalize my divorce case in San Francisco. My case was set for trial; so as you can imagine a lot of work. He's very professional and answered all my questions. He was very clear and to the point. He was very accurate about t...he outcome of my case. I would recommend Mr. Dull to anyone. I was really lucky Mr. Dull helped me with my court case. Awesome attorney! Thank you!

Posted by Pearl | January 02, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Personal injury recovery.

Highly recommend Mr Dull who took on Kemper insurance for me after I was seriously injured in an automobile accident. I attempted to get a settlement on my own but they kept lowballing me. Mr Dull was able to get me 3 times what they were offering. Great communications and very professional.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
