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.

"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

Mr. Casebeer helped me through my divorce, which went on longer than anticipated. He was thorough, kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. He walked me through the process, and his expertise and experience facilitated an equitable settlement. I highly recommend Mr. Casebeer.

Mr. Casebeers is the man!

I wish I could give a 6 star rating honestly. Chris is the man. flat out, plain and simple. I was going through a custody issue that involved 3 prior attorneys that got me nowhere. Chris listened to my side and believed in me and visa versa. He took action and it was like a whirlwind, and he dominate...d. He is fair, honest and I am forever in his debt. Attorneys like Chris are hard to find but worth every penny. His staff and office is amazing and my experience was awesome. Thank you guys and I highly recommend him!
