Strong recommendation

Chris DeWys is a very good attorney. I hired him for a tenant issue and that issue has been resolved to my full satisfaction. He also secured additional favorable elements of the outcome. Chris is very professional, thorough, and responsive, and is pleasant to engage with. I highly recommend him and ...won't hesitate to hire him again.

Tenant/Landlord

Chris served in an advisory capacity as we negotiated a buyout agreement with our landlord. His background in landlord/tenant issues and his wise counsel proved invaluable as we tried to understand the nuances of our situation, and his perspective on when to be aggressive vs. when to recognize a fair... offer helped us come up with a creative agreement that has worked out well for us!

Absolutely Wonderful! Grace and Expertise

Chris is by far the best attorney I have ever worked with. He was knowledgable, honest, and very easy to communicate with. My situation was one of thee most embarrassing experiences of my life. Members of an adult website forum had written the most degrading comments about me. New comments would be... written and the website would link all the comments from the past with the new comment to make it one large awful read. The website had ignored my complaints for over 2 years. Chris was able to take care of the matter with one Cease and Desist Letter. Within 2 business days the adult website deleted the awful posts. Chris is very honest and politely upfront about matters. He was very patient and non judgmental, which was very important to me given the derogatory nature of comments that I had wanted removed. Moreover, most lawyers tend to establish an immediate power difference where they in some way remind you that they are of the higher status and you are a mere layperson. But Chris is the opposite. He gives the impression that you are both working in harmony for the same goal so there is a constant feeling of mutual respect. He'll never leave you feeling "less than". Before I forget, let me say his fees are reasonable and more than fair, especially for an attorney in San Francisco. I live about 300 miles south in a modest town and I thought his fees were within reason. I highly recommend Chris Dewys for your legal troubles. If and when I ever need an attorney I will be sure to contact Chris and trust him with the matter.
