Honest, Informative and Caring
Christopher and his assistant Liz went above and beyond to help me in my custody and parenting time after my divorce. They were extremely informative and answered all my questions quickly and really set my mind at ease knowing they had it all handled. I highly recommend them!

Support Modification
Coast Family Law, Chris Palmer and his assistant Liz Moore are a highly competent team! Coast Family Law represented me in a Modification of Support matter. They treated me with respect, listened to my concerns, took me seriously, were patient with explanations of legal matters and are the most highly organized and detail oriented folks I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Their tireless efforts in combing over countless pages of discovery, to support my case, were awe inspiring and surely had a profound effect on my positive outcome. The bonus is, Mr. Palmer is a rock star in court! He is well prepared, respectful, thorough, fair and not afraid of being tough. In my opinion, you couldn’t do better.

A consultation with Christopher Palmer
Christopher was very knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. He is without a doubt the most competent, down to earth attorney I've ever talked to. He doesn't talk down to you and he is very well spoken. It's obvious he's would have powerful presence in a courtroom.

Chris went out of his way to help me throughout a horrific ordeal. Also, being visually challenged and not being able to drive, he made accomplishing a necessary paper trail much easier.

Chris cares about Clatsop County's families!
My husband and I depended on Christopher Palmer and his staff to not only help us by representing us, we secretly needed a miracle. Chris worked diligently for us, he always was reachable and returned any messages, calls, or emails in less than 24 hours . Chris kept us informed and up to date on procedures and the law (without it being over our heads). Chris is responsible, respectful, dependable, and clean - cut (yes that matters when he/she represents you). During the time of our case we spent months interacting with Chris and his staff and we felt like our case was their case, our needs were their needs and they addressed them accordingly. When you are dealing with family matters and court you need to know you can count on your attorney to not only follow though, but also have open lines of communication, Chris Palmer and his staff are impeccable in all areas. Due to the time spent with them and the severity of our case, I believe my husband and I can honestly give a valuable and valid opinion about them. I hope that if someone is looking for a family attorney in the Clatsop County area and doesn't know who to choose, please let my review help you to make that decision. If you need a father and husband who is also an attorney who treat your case like it is his case, choose Chris Palmer. We feel very fortunate to have had his expertise and assistance and will be eternally grateful for the hard work and dedication he demonstrated. Chris was more than our attorney, he did more than just represent us...he made sure our family was made complete by the hours he spent preparing and by his choice to personally place our needs at the forefront of his agenda. We are extremely pleased and will be contacting his office and spreading the word when it comes to Family Law.

Small business owner in Madera,CA
Chris Plamer is a great person. He does make every effort to do what is in the best interest for his clients. He is honest about representation. He will provide you options of what may and may not happen in a case. He wants to assure that you know and understand. He stresses on clarification so there are no confusion or misunderstanding. I had retained other counsel prior to Mr. Palmer and I never had the loyal treatment like him. He has stood by myside threw the process and continued afterwards. He will contact me, just to say hello!

Satisfied Client
I used Mr. Palmer to incorporate my business. Not only was the process was quick, but his office took care of additional details such as applying for an EDD number and business license on my behalf. It was great to not have to worry about all the paperwork and just concentrate on my business.
