Christopher R. Rao

Christopher Rao and his team are truly exceptional professionals who have demonstrated unwavering dedication and expertise. As I write this review, I am overcome with tears of happiness and still grappling with the enormity of the impact they have had on our lives. Christopher Rao's intervention was ...instrumental in saving our lives and preserving our family unit. His vast knowledge, expertise, and real-world understanding are a testament to his exceptional abilities as an attorney. Initially, the complexity of my case had led me to believe that it would be impossible to find a law firm capable of understanding its intricacies. However, Christopher Rao's meticulous approach, his ability to listen attentively, and his skillful navigation of the manipulative tactics employed by opposing counsel have been truly remarkable. His thorough explanations, tenacious advocacy, and compassionate communication style have made an indelible mark on our lives. When I characterize someone as hardworking, I mean someone who consistently dedicates themselves throughout the day. Christopher exemplified this trait, working on his vacation, specifically at the airport before his flight and immediately after landing. He thoroughly analyzed every detail of our case, including all responses, and empathized with our perspective, sharing our emotional experience. Christopher's compassion, support, and emotional investment were evident. His commitment to our case extended beyond regular hours, as he spent his evenings researching additional resources and lawyers to benefit our case, demonstrating his selflessness and dedication to achieving favorable outcomes for deserving individuals. You want Christopher’s voice to advocate for you in court because he will fight for you. As a result, Christopher and his team successfully resolved our seemingly insurmountable case, by WINNING against a tough law firm and earning our eternal gratitude. If you are in need of legal representation, I highly recommend retaining Christopher without delay.

Among life’s mistakes, I’ve made some doozies. The second biggest one? Hiring Christopher Rao of Beacon Attorneys. While skiing in 2017, I suffered a traumatic brain injury. Months later in his waiting room, I pondered Christopher’s vintage photo of a train wreck. A jaded metaphor for my once-...hopeful marriage? — no, this was about what I still had coming. Christopher presented his credentials. Graduated from Harvard… specialized in game theory… leader of the county bar association’s family law section… he’s in my neighborhood… How could I go wrong? After I retained Christopher, I learned he’d recently fallen out with his legal partner (hence the name change from “Rao and Pierce”). In the transition, the support staff were in flux and disarray. Early on, his team neglected to file critical documents. They made an embarrassing factual error about my son. To my repeated requests they were often nonresponsive. I harangued them to complete my will. Throughout, we let opposing counsel drive a simplistic narrative. “We’re keeping our powder dry”, Christopher would tell me. He did object to the judge about OC’s page counts… Our court orders? all drafted by OC. We lost and we lost, and each time Christopher declared some small victory. And he’d regularly criticize me. “I’m tough on my clients”, he’d tell me. Regularly I wondered if I’d hired an adversary, not an advocate. From other reviewers I’m seeing I’m not alone in this. Two years and about $100K later we withdrew, and Christopher’s long-suffering assistant wrote me, “Thank you for being you, for being kind, caring and never being afraid to express your emotions. You will always be one of my favorite clients.” Divorce is already too traumatic. Much as I empathize with his staff, I suggest that you avoid Christopher Rao.

I have known and worked with Christopher for more than 20 years I’ve referred numerous clients to him, and use his services myself. I have found he has given me excellent service, and those of the people I’ve referred to him. If he did not have the expertise, then he would refer me to an attorn...ey that he personally knew, that had the expertise. I do not hesitate in recommending his law firm.

Mr. Rao is an excellent lawyer. He got me a great settlement a few years ago. I returned to his firm and had him do my will. I have called him with questions and he has given me sound advice that has really saved me. I recommended him to friends and family because of the personal care and attention ...he gives you.

Mr. Rama went above and beyond for my case. My child was withheld from me because of COVID-19. Mr. Rama spoke with me for hours about what would be the best approach for my case. He took time out of his weekend to go over my documents and gave priceless advice. I won my case and my lost residenti...al time was made up. Mr. Rama believes in what is best for the child and doesn't throw low blows to the other side. Mr. Rama offers advice that rises above it the pettiness and wins based off of skill, truth and what is best for the child He was always advocating for what is best for the children, keeping the children the top priority. In the future when I need legal help, I will absolutely be calling on Mr. Rama.
