Child Support

Last year I engaged Mr. Sundstrom to give me advice when my exhusband made an unreasonable request for full custody. Chris was referred to me by a trustworthy friend and I had researched other lawyers as well before deciding to go with his services. My exhusband ended up not pursuing the full cus...tody request, but he did pursue an adjustment to child support which Chris represented me on. It was an atypical financial situation which required considerable requests for information to support my exhusband's statements. Throughout the case, Chris was sensable and honest in his approach and he continually found ways to limit he and his staff's hours. He was honest with me about not being an expert in financial or tax law, his reputation and sensable approach with the courts and the opposing counsel resulted in a better than anticipated outcome. I would definitely recommend Chris as an advocate for his clients!

Attorney Sundstrom

Mr Sundstrom represented me in my divorce proceedings, and while costing on the high end, handled my case so well that the outcome was better than expected/hoped for. He initial evaluation was spot on, advising me it would be a difficult and lenghty case, and did let me know it would be expensive. Hi...s work was excellent, and his staff seemed to be very knowledgeable.

  • 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.
