This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

HIRE CHRIS TODAY! Seriously, best decision you can make.

Chris is the BEST! Truly, the best. I met with multiple attorneys while going through a divorce. I had a consultation when I was going to switch representation and his pointers for where I was in my situation were spot on! By following his advice I completely changed the momentum in my case. I interv...iewed a lot of lawyers and Chris is hands down the best. He was level headed and educated me in my current situation as well as managed my expectations for what was to come. I cannot recommend him enough. Tracie, his paralegal, and him make a great team and are so personal. Please make a wiser first choice than I initially did and just hire him. I am positive you will save thousands just by starting off with the right person to represent you.

Exceptional

I have been a client of Chris and Tracie’s for almost three years. I have worked with several other law firms and attorneys. I can say that it is possible to find a good attorney but it is very difficult to find a good law firm. Harbor Family Law provides the complete package. I have never met an... attorney as calm and effective as Chris, a paralegal as incredible as Tracie, nor an operations manager as kind and considerate as Kelli. Harbor Family Law is what every client hopes to find when seeking an attorney. The staff upholds standards of integrity and diligence that is difficult to find elsewhere. Chris represents his cases with clarity and intelligence. He is direct while maintaining respect for all parties involved. He provides clients with insight and direction. Tracie is irreplaceable in the law community. She is responsive, and truly invested in her work. She is knowledgeable and has a vigor for the best possible outcome for their clients. As a team Chris and Tracie are exceptional. Together they provide a stable atmosphere where clients can trust that they are in good hands. Kelli is truly a breath of fresh air and a joy to communicate with. The character and dependability of Harbor Family Law is outstanding. I simply cannot recommend them enough!

Highest Recommendation Possible

Chris has been my attorney for over 12 yrs now, representing me in custody matters concerning my daughter. He has all the qualities a client would look for in their attorney. First, his communication style both with clients and in court is clear, calm, and genuinely empathetic. Chris is able to come ...up with rational solutions and present them to all parties involved in a very palatable way. He is also highly analytical and detail oriented, able to put together all the pieces of the puzzle to problem solve complicated cases with lots of data/documents. Chris has never missed a beat in getting me and my daughter the best possible outcomes, while always being direct and honest with me about potential outcomes. Last but not least, Chris appears to be highly respected within his own community both among other attorneys and judges/commissioners. It should also be noted that Chris has an exceptional assistant. Tracie is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and empathetic. Together, they make a truly indispensable team that I cannot recommend highly enough!

Best result

Chris obtain the best results during my very complicated dissolution. He was companionate and understanding. Tough in dealing with conflict. I am very happy with the results.

"Chris is a fantastic attorney, and a fantastic person. He is thoughtful and measured. He takes time to not only understand the facts of the case, but to also analyze and understand the underlying stories and feelings that often lead not only to development of the best legal strategies, but also help the parties come to appropriate resolutions. There are no winners in a family law case, but Chris' approach is geared toward providing families with the best solutions possible to set them up for future success.
