Christopher R. Rao

I had an unexpectedly wonderful consultation with Christopher Rao regarding a complicated family-law matter after several years of litigation. He was remarkably generous with his time and quickly demonstrated an intuitive grasp of both the legal issues and the practical realities surrounding them. ... What impressed me most was his combination of legal knowledge, candor, common sense, and kindness. Christopher gave me practical, realistic guidance rather than simply telling me what I wanted to hear. His straightforward manner and dry sense of humor were also especially welcome after a long and exhausting legal process. I left our conversation with greater clarity about my options and a much better sense of how to move forward. More than that, Christopher had a way of recognizing the person behind the litigation—and that there is a life and a future beyond the case itself. That kindness stayed with me. I would absolutely recommend Christopher to someone looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, thoughtful, straightforward, and genuinely attentive to the person behind the case.
