Christopher J Marston

Chris is not only a very good attorney, he is also compassionate and caring. In my particular case, he reviewed all materials that were of value and did excellent outlining the facts in a clear and precise manner. Not only would I recommend him to others, I would hire him again if a situation arose w...here I needed help.

We hired Christopher J. Marston to advise and represent us after we discovered several construction defects and contract violations by our general contractor. As it turned out, I couldn’t have chosen a worse attorney than Mr. Marston. Mr. Marston claimed to have experience and success with defending... clients like us and convinced us that we had a good case against our contractor. Unfortunately, we discovered too late that Mr. Marston was not competent to advise or to represent us with our claims against our contractor. Here is a brief summary of Mr. Marston’s performance: *Failed to ask relevant and pertinent questions of the defendant while deposing him and his expert witnesses and to use the collected deposition information effectively during the arbitration hearing. If used, the defendant and his expert witness’ deposition answers would have clearly proved that the defendant had lied under oath. He also failed to effectively use the supporting exhibits and expert witnesses’ testimonies to challenge or discredit the defendant’s false statements. *Flustered and confused during the arbitration hearing, Mr. Marston shuffled through his scribbled notes and four-inch thick exhibits trying to find what he needed next. On occasion, he would mistakenly refer to the defendant by my last name or forget where the exhibits were located in the binder. The arbitrator’s report shows that she never saw or heard our most incriminating, convincing exhibits and expert witnesses’ testimonies that would have easily exposed and discredited the defendant and his expert witnesses’ false statements. *During our final meeting, Mr. Marston ignored our request for an explanation of why he felt he did a good job of presenting our case when the arbitrator’s written report clearly stated otherwise. The arbitrator’s written decision indicated that she found the defendant and his attorney’s well-prepared and articulated defense to be more creditable than Mr. Marston’s. He concluded by saying that we should take some solace in knowing that the defendant did not get away completely because he had to pay his legal fees too. Mr. Marston took no responsibility for his poor preparation, performance, and advice. He appeared more concerned with being paid for his services than his losing our law suit. *By hiring and following Mr. Marston’s advice, we lost over $170K that includes legal fees and repair costs for the construction defects.

I had been having issues with an easement with a neighbor for nearly 5 years. Finally it was time to take immediate action and end the problems. I had retained counsel previously regarding this matter, but received poor service and was not seeing results whatsoever. I came across Chris Marston, and k...new when I had my initial conference with him that I was going to be taken care of. He was very polite and professional and kept me informed throughout the entire legal battle. Thoroughly explaining the issues on both sides of the table and giving me options. We were able to stay out of the court room and settle for a sum of money to compensate me for providing an easement. Hiring an attorney is always a costly undertaking, but I feel that Chris understood this and worked very efficiently to save me from unnecessary legal fees. I would also like to thank his legal assistant, Kathy for always following up with any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. For any real estate issues, save yourself the stress and headache and hire Christopher Marston. You will not be disappointed.

Having never been in a lawsuit, it was very disconcerting to be in the position of hiring a lawyer to handle the disagreement in the sale of my business. While searching for an attorney I kept hearing that Davies Pearson was an excellent firm. i hired Davies Pearson and Christopher Marston was assi...gned to my case. Initially I was concerned because Chris is so young. I need not have been concerned. Chris was very professional, efficient and attentive to all details of my business and contract. He kept me informed of every piece of correspondence having to do with my case. He skillfully and expertly handled depositions. When we got to court, I was very impressed with Chris' effective examination and cross-examinations. Chris' professionalism and preparedness resulted in the Court ruling in my favor. Chris surpassed all my expectations in handling my lawsuit. I highly recommend Christopher Marston of Davies Pearson law firm for your legal needs.
