Christopher John Soelling's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Christopher
Benjamin R Justus headshot
Benjamin Justus

Mediation lawyer | Nov 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Chris is probably the most effective mediator I have encountered. He seems to never forget that the mediation process can be costly, and maximizes every minute by quickly arriving at an understanding of the case background, and then getting down to "brass tacks." I highly recommend Chris for not only construction and real estate matters, but virtually any dispute."

Relationship: Other

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Chris served as the mediator in a condominium defects case in which I represented the homowners against the project developer. Chris has a superb background in construction law. He quickly mastered the facts, legal issues and negotiating dynamics. His deft mediation led to a fair settlement. I would recommend him highly as a mediator in any construction or commercial case."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"When I need an arbitrator or mediator, Chris is one of the first few people in Seattle that comes to mind. He is no nonsense, not afraid to call a spade a spade, not afraid to make a touch decision, has an amazing emotional I.Q., and always manages to get a case settled. I highly endorse Mr. Soelling as an arbitrator and a mediator."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
