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.

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!

"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!!

Christopher Casebeer and Kandi Morales

I recently finished going through the divorce process and was happy to have both Chris and Kandi on my team. Chris was professional, straightforward and fair. He helped me put things into the big picture perspective and move though the legal process with a clear understanding of what to expect. Kan...di was thoughtful, compassionate and responsive. Their team approach made my experience easier to navigate and knowing I had them both looking out for me helped put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for an expert in family law, divorce and child custody. Thank you Chris and Kandi!
