Would Hire Again

Kept up w email communication. Called when appropriate. Negotiated w the DA to dismiss my case & forgo trial. He lost money but saved me a lot of money, time & stress. Honest and upfront. At first, I was concerned that he couldn't tell me, yes, we could win. He told me cases like mine had been won, b...ut he couldn't promise, and then he went above and beyond to make it a win and only cost me the initial charge to get busy.

Excellent in every way

Chris represented me recently. From the first contact he was committed to my needs. He was happy to adjust to my schedule and location. From our first meeting Chris was very knowledgeable and almost perfectly predicted how my issue could be / would be resolved. I found his representation very enc...ouraging. He kept me informed regularly and brought my situation to a conclusion very quickly. I highly recommend his advocacy.

Consistenly available when needed

Chris has been there for me since day 1, believing in me and my ability to do good in this world. I may not be a bad person but have had my fair share of unfortunate circumstances. Though he is very busy with many clients on his plate, an attribute of a good attorney, Chris always reached out to make... sure I was doing okay and that my case was being handled properly. I can hope for all the best, but having a good person like him in your corner certainly does help.

Would hire again

Highly recommended firm. Chris McCormack was professional, timely, reliable and most importantly treated me with kindness during a difficult situation.

One of the best attorneys in town

Chris is definitely one of the best attorneys in town. Not only was he able to defend me from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. Besides the professionally knowledge about law, he is also very good at communicating. E...very time when I need clarifications and presentations in certain situations, he can always help me with patient. We have been working for a while and he always shows his professionality and confidence. I would recommend Chris to you if you are facing some dilemmas.

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.
