Exceptional Attorney, incredible support staff

I was fortunate to have Mr. Casebeer as my attorney during my divorce in 2018. The attorney has many roles in a divorce - advocate, counselor, and of course legal expert. Mr. Casebeer's legal acumen and approach to my case resulted in an outcome that was exceptional and also very expeditious, saving ...me time, money and stress. At every point he and his office were on top of all of the complex moving parts of my situation, and were available for me when I needed questions answered or simply needed reassurance in order to remain sane. He was so good at working with the opposing counsel and mediating judge in my case. I cannot imagine such a difficult time in my life being handled better, and the outcome and resolution speaks for itself. I feel indebted to him and his staff.

Success!

Chris was recommended to me by my wife’s client. Chris is knowledgeable and professional. He cuts to the heart of the case and he is a straight shooter. He won’t waste time on stuff that doesn’t matter. He helped me win my spousal support case by presenting clear facts and documents that made the out...come of the case obvious. I am very happy with his services!

Excellent!

Mr. Casebeer helped me tremendously in a brief amount of time. Mr. Casebeer helped me understand my options in a case regarding spousal support and child support. I highly recommend him. I was confident in his advice. Very professional and highly regarded in family law.

Professional, Reliable, Honest

I used Casebeer to re-negotiate my spousal support after my ex-wife remarried and assist me in a custody case brought about by my ex. Not only did Casebeer succeed in reducing my spousal support and retaining custody of my children, but also fixed issues with the original divorce decree set up by a p...revious lawyer. I am now able to pay my children their child support directly to them once they turn 18, which was not the original set up by my first lawyer. His honesty and willingness to listen was much appreciated. He was able to act in a very professional manner even when emotions ran high. It was comforting in court when Casebeer knew the judge (he had worked with him numerous times) and my ex's lawyer was clearly awe-struck by Casebeer's presence. Casebeer's reputation precedes him in most, if not all, court appearances, which made me feel at ease in a stressful situation. There were times when I wanted to do certain things or thought the process should be a certain way and unfortunately the law did not allow that. Casebeer was very helpful in explaining what was possible and what was not, but giving me the last and final decision on how to proceed. I found that following his advice was the best decision due to his experience and I feel like the court decision definitely went in my favor using Casebeer.

Exceptional lawyer!

I hired Mr. Casebeer to do what I thought would be a very complicated divorce. He explained the process in detail and what I should expect. My case went forward just as he explained and was a much easier process than I expected, thanks to him. He took care of everything! He was always available t...o answer my questions and was always extremely pleasant. He handled my case with skilled expertise. I couldn't have been happier with his services. I heard he also volunteers his time as a judge for Marion and Lincoln Counties. I am impressed with his commitment to his clients and his community.
