Christopher J Eggert

I met Chris Eggert through a referral from my EAP, while I was still reeling from the shock that divorce had been introduced into my life. He answered his own telephone and asked about my wellbeing first before proceeding onto business. He told me up-front that there would be more expensive lawyers w...ho couldn't guarantee a different outcome, but that he would bring value in addition to his expertise. He said he would be candid in his interpretations of the issues and the anticipated legal response to each argument, even when those were difficult for me to hear. He told me he would organize all of the information I sent him and only spend time/money reviewing documents to the extent that they became pertinent. He kept his word on those components across-the-board. He encouraged me to remain reasonable without giving into irrational demands or making emotional reactions that might have sabotaged my own case. I know I benefited from Chris Eggert’s representation, but more importantly, so did my children in the settlement that we reached with my coparent.

I have been in a parental/custody dispute with my son's Dad. Things started to escalate quite a bit and I called around to several attorneys. I found Chris and instantly felt like I had someone who would be competent, caring and timely. That's exactly what happened. I've had attorneys before, for var...ious reasons. I've experienced poor communication, drawn out cases, and arrogant attitudes. Not Chris. He stayed on top of everything and was all about a quick resolution, whereas the other parties' attorneys just wanted billable hours. I honestly believe that if I had not hired Chris, I would be battling this case for years to come. Instead, we are only a few months in and today, we officially ended this battle with the results being in my favor. If I find myself here again, Chris is the first call I'm making!

I retained Chris to represent my friend in a DUI case after the court-appointed attorney refused to try to negotiate a plea deal. Chris was able to negotiate a much lesser sentence and my friend was able to keep his job while serving his time under work release. During this time, his ex-wife filed... an emergency custody order against him and even though my friend couldn't get an attorney on such short notice, Chris stepped in to help out. We're all very appreciative of his efforts.

Did really nothing told me to hire a $3k custody evaluator on top of a rolling bill. Received nothing and barely will get to see my kids. Made sure I could pay my bill yet never made sure anything talked about was dealt with. Other 1 star review nailed it on the head. Probably should've looked here f...irst. Oh well at least my ex and he got paid. Meanwhile I get nothing other than debt and screwed.

I was not at all impressed with Mr. Eggert and his associates. My ex walked away with almost everything. Almost everything I was told by Mr. Eggert turned out to be false. Numerous mistakes on the paperwork. The legal costs were triple what I was quoted and the payout to my ex was unbelievable. He ga...ve in to every demand of my spouses attorney. I basically had no defense at all. His associate attorney did 80% of the work, which was never mentioned in the initial consultation. Everytime they met to discuss my case, I was charged by both attorneys. This mistake will cost me for the rest of my life.
