About Christopher
Biography
I am the family law partner at Wheeler Montgomery & Boyd, PLLC. I take pride in personal service tailored to the individual needs of my clients. Every family dynamic is different and there is no "standard" divorce. I listen to my clients and make sure they make informed decisions in the emotionally charged setting of family law. 90% of my client base are referrals from clients and other attorneys - which is an honor that former clients and my peers trust me to provide representation to their loved ones.

professional, thorough and understanding
Chis, Krystal & Stephanie helped me navigate the most difficult path I have ever had to go down. One I didn't want to take, but so glad I chose them to help me through the process.

The court process is extremely stressful and taxing and I would never represent myself, especially with so much on the line.Th...

I got kicked out my house because of a restraining order. I contacted this law firm because of a referral. I gave my info to them and they said they would call back.

Replied last October 02, 2020Anonymous - I can only imagine the stress of being served a restraining order by a family member. I am sorry I could not help alleviate some of that uncertainty and that we could not provide representation based on a busy schedule I had these last two weeks and the immediacy of your case. I hope you found a good attorney fit and are in a better position. Chris
