very professional

i was referred to Chris by a friend. Chris did not disappoint at any means. he listened to the questions i had and always had a positive solution that would favor me. every case is different but i was fortunate enough to hire Chris for my divorce and child custody situations. every dad and mom have e...qual rights and no one should be fooled by others people’s opinions. Chris definitely introduced him self on how much expertise he has in these type of situations, he is truthful of what he can and can not do. he cares about every family out there and is willing to help every individual. I highly recommend to hire Chris for your divorce and child custody situations. he is very knowledgeable and friendly!

Outstanding Service

I highly recommend Chris as your attorney, he is honest and down to earth. I was very impressed with his services and his paralegal Stephanie was always thorough and quick to respond to my many questions. Their expertise was superb and I am so happy I chose them to advocate for me.

Custody/Parenting Plan

Chris and Stephanie were amazing to work with! I know it can be uncomfortable at times, but Chris tells you how it is. He lays out possibilities and comes at you directly. I appreciated that a lot from him. Stephanie was able to explain and answer anything I didn’t understand. They are a great team! ...

"10" stars if I were allowed!

No wonder all you see are "5" star reviews! Over 6 years ago I engaged in the assistance of Chris and his staff to resolve custody and child support of my children. I understood the difficulty being the dad in how judgement and ruling typically leans towards the mother. After many months of discover...y and advice from Chris, he explained in a stalwart manor on how to proceed. He not only was straight forward but also told me when I was asking for unconnected requests and would “put” me back on track. The results were found in my favor! Fast forward to a few months ago. I again contacted Chris to reform the child support I was paying for my children were now living with me 100% of the time. Chris’s ability to be a counselor, advocate and listen, not to mention his knowledge in family law, is stellar to none. Again judgement was in my favor which is a cost avoidance of thousands of dollars. Need the best outcome for your situation? Write the check to him now. It’s worth every penny.

You want Chris in your corner

I could not have had a better lawyer than Chris. He and his office were always very professional and understanding and most importantly patient. Chris walked me through literally the hardest time in my life as a parent and he did so very well. I am forever grateful for him and his office. Thank you ...everyone at Ferder Casebeer & French!!
