Great Job!!!

Just finished with a very stressful divorce. But thanks to Chris and his very helpful assistants we got it done. It took almost 2 years but they worked very hard to navigate all the roadblocks that came our way. Chris has the expert advice one needs to get through it all. He is very knowledgeable wit...h what needed to get done and how to do it so we had no problem when it went to arbitration. Thanks Chris and all the people who worked on this case!!!

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.

" I GOT THE BEST ONE & I WON"

I finished a very stressful divorce process. I was very desperated but thanks to friends and acquaintances from my Church I found the best Attorney of the State. I hired Chris and since then everything changed for the best. Mr. Christopher Casebeer is a very knowledgeable, ethical, organized, prepa...red professional. He is a very intelligent and expert attorney. Chris and his team made me feel very confident since day one. He is very proactive, direct, honest and he likes to go straight to the point. He guided me step by step during my divorce process and I felt very supported. Chris helped me tremendously, and he explained me very well my options and he fought for me, and for my rights. Chris is a very pleasant person, very compassionate and always was available to answer my questions and concerns. The communication between he and I was excellent, which made a huge difference during the process. I would highly recommend Mr. Christopher Casebeer to anyone who is facing a divorce. He is the type of attorney that will fight for you in all facetes of your process. If you let Chris to guide you, and do what he says, I' m 100% sure that you will succeed. I can't thank Chris and his team enough for their excellent work, support, dedication on my case and their compassion during those hard times. Thank you Mr. Casebeer.

Outstanding!

I recently finished a complicated 14 month long divorce with custody issues, businesses to divide, etc. At the beginning, I spent a couple weeks researching attorneys, asking friends and acquaintances for recommendations – due diligence, if you will. The name Christopher Casebeer kept coming up in ...my conversations. It seemed a no-brainer at the time and wow did it ever prove to be one of the best decisions I ever made. Mr. Casebeer was there every step of the way. Very, very knowledgeable, experienced, organized, prepared, and professional – all that you could ever ask for in such a delicate matter. He’s an extremely intelligent attorney and believe me when I tell you this – “smart is a really good thing to have on your side in a divorce.”

Needed the BEST and that is what I got

The end of a 39 year marriage is like a death, the family is shattered, the grandchildren confused and the old family traditions at holidays are no longer. Now throw into the mix a personal business you started from scratch 20 years ago, try to keep the personal feelings and the business feelings se...parate. I contacted a family friend who was an estate attorney and ask for a recommendation, he said you need the best and that is Chris Casebeer. I was 64 at the time and fighting to keep my business which was my future retirement. Mr. Casebeer requires that you are an active participant in your case. He requested so many documents that I felt overwhelmed at times. It took over a year for a court date and I wanted to give in so many times and settle just to get it over with. Mr. Casebeer and his staff kept giving me encouragement to not give up. Mr. Casebeer and his team of assistants work so well together and kept me informed of all updates and changes. They put all the information I gave them into one detailed binder and Mr. Casebeer was ready for the show to begin. He was prepared, professional in both appearance and presentation. I was so surprised at how he put the evidence together, everything so orderly he didn't have to search for a document or picture. Many times he would bring up a point that left my husband speechless,. Bottom line ...my husbands attorney wanted to settle during our lunch break. I would recommend Mr. Casebeer to anyone going through a divorce, he was very supportive emotionally as well as his excellent staff. I can't thank them enough.
