Great Attorney!

Going through divorce, albeit even the most amicable is emotionally taxing. When I filed for divorce to exit a toxic marriage and my ex-husband contested, I knew it was time for legal counsel. I searched for a while, many attorneys were busy with trials or heavy workloads, which is understandable. Ch...ris got back to me right away, let me know his thoughts on the case, and made the process easy for me to understand. I felt a lot less anxiety about the whole divorce process having Chris in my corner concerning the legal part of things. He was very fair in his retainer fee and was quick, direct and clear in his communication (something I really appreciate!). He was willing to communicate with my ex-husband, respectfully and directly. I always knew what was happening throughout the duration of my case and never worried about Chris doing his job, he did excellent. Thankfully, I never had to go to trial since my ex-husband withdrew, and Chris was timely and intentional with the finalization of my divorce. Now divorced, I can breathe. Thank you so much, Chris!

Successful probate

Chris handled the (uncontested) probate in Washington County for my Mom's estate. He was responsive and submitted all paperwork promptly. The final bill was in-line with his original estimate. I'd use him again for estate work.

Highly satisfied

I learned about Chris from my EAP when I decided to seek a divorce. I left him a voice message, he returned my call within a couple of hours, asked great questions, seemed knowledgeable and his website felt like the same person I'd spoken with so I decided to hire him. During the months I worked with... him I found his communication to be clear, timely, informative and supportive. I appreciated that we did nearly everything by e-mail (we only met in person to sign documents) as that's my preference and it also kept the cost down. I would definitely recommend Chris!

Customer focused, professional and easy to work with

Chris was very helpful with consultation and preparation of my mom's will, durable power of attorney and advance directive. He was very patient and thorough with my mom, warm and professional. He put us all at easy with a fairly seamless process which was extremely helpful with my husband and I being... out of state. Chris was great and we'd highly recommend his practice.

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.
