Chris & Stephanie are amazing!

I am so glad that I had Chris in my corner navigating with me through a modification/custody/child support case. He was worth every penny and gave me absolute peace of mind as I went through the very daunting process. With him by my side, I reached the outcome that I wanted! He helped me every step o...f the way. Stephanie was also a rock star, answering my questions at every point of the process. She gave me peace of mind, helped me through all of the details, and generally just made a horrible process that much easier for me. I'm so thankful for this team! You absolutely want them in your corner when dealing with your own case.

The best advice...

The best advice I've heard recently is you will never regret hiring an attorney. My experience is proof. I attempted to resolve my divorce quickly and amicably. It comes as no surprise that that is not always possible. Without legal representation I had stressful exchanges and looming unknowns - - as... well as many sleepless nights. I am thankful to have had access to Mr. Casebeer's many years of experience and expertise. Chris, Kandi, and Stephanie ensured the proper steps were taken. Having them to as a resource made navigating my divorce infinitely more simple and the outcome significantly better than had I continued alone. Do not go through your divorce alone. They are worth every penny, many times over. You will not regret it.

Mr. Casebeer and Stephanie Kinkaid are truly amazing!

Mr. Casebeer and his assistant Stephanie Kinkaid’s professionalisms and understanding of family law is unparalleled in my opinion! The way they helped me through what seemed to be a never ending struggle will never be forgotten! Not only did the help me get a favorable resolution in my child custody/...visitation case, they did it with compassion and empathy! I would strongly recommend Mr. Casebeer and his assistants to anyone facing a similar situation! Thank you guys!

This Man is a Godsend

I honestly could never find the words to truly express my gratitude and appreciation for Chris and Stephanie. Just as I was falling apart they picked me up and after what seemed like an eternity the divorce was over and things turned out just the way Chris had told me they would. Situations like th...is it is hard to not get wrapped up in your own mind, but the one thing Chris will never do is lie to you. He won't tell you he can if he knows he can't. He is very upfront and tells you how it is whether it's what you want to hear or not. If you are looking for an attorney who has integrity, is knowledgeable, straightforward and only wants the best outcome possible for you, then this is your man. Chris is not about the money; he's about getting each and everyone of us through these difficult times with the best outcome possible and Stephanie - well - she's just as amazing. She is so thoughtful and knowledgeable. She always kept me informed of any communication from the other party. She was always sweet and laughed at my dorky jokes! Together they are a power team and they will not let you down in anyway. Promise.

Best Family Attorney hands down

My initial consultation with Chris was honest and direct. He was straight-forward about my situation regarding an out-of-state visiting plan and child support modification. So straight-forward I questioned about even retaining counsel because of the possible outcomes where most attorneys would have t...hrown me their convincing sales pitches, Chris was very black and white and I appreciate that he was straight-up with everything. Mr. Casebeer turned a complicated, emotional situation into a detailed, satisfying plan. He is exceptionally thorough and I could not be happier with the judgement that was given. He salvaged me and my daughter’s relationship. Thank you Chris and thank you Stephanie for your availability, and outstanding service.
