Help with spousal support

I was referred to Chris Sundstrom by my divorce attorney who had retired. I had been served contempt of court papers when my spousal support ended at retirement. Chris did a great job and was everything you could ask in representation: efficient, dedicated to my case, on top of my case and very fair ...in all charges. I wouldn't use anyone else.

The best!!

Chris and his team are great, I couldn't be more pleased with them. Chris & Stacy both go out of their way to make sure you understand what is going on and to make sure you know the facts. He will definitely fight for what is right and what's best for you.

Best in the Business

I wish I had found Chris Sundstrom when I first started my case. He came Highly recommended to me by someone in the industry and I can tell you, Retaining him and his team was the best decision I have ever made. He and his staff are so knowledgeable and in the end I got everything I was asking for. I... will continue to retain him for future matters as long as he is practicing.

Definitely would retain...

After watching a close friend be manipulated by a number of lawyers in Vancouver, I have been so relieved since he started working with attorney Chris Sundstrom. A divorce is devastating, but Mr. Sundstrom has experience and knows his way around the family court war zone. If I had to hire an attorn...ey for a divorce, I would definitely trust Chris Sundstrom.

Quickly resolved 5 year old outstanding warrant.

Having untreated psychiatric issues early on in adulthood led me to get into some legal trouble, some of which I had entirely forgotten about. When I went to apply for a job and did a background check, they notified me I had an active warrant that was 5 years old due to being charged with reckles...s burning. Needing to resolve the matter quickly to get the job, I sought out a local lawyer who had experience with the municipal court that issued the charge. My first consultation with Chris on the telephone gave me confidence that he would be able to resolve the matter, so I decided to retain him. He was familiar with the prosecuting attorney and judge, and he was confident he could work with them to reach a resolution. He went to my first court date with me and got the warrant quashed immediately. I was able to take the paperwork from this to my employer, who then proceeded to hire me. Chris then had a pretrial hearing with the prosecuting attorney a week or so later and reached an agreement with him to dismiss the case. After one more court date the charge was dismissed and the matter was resolved. I would recommend Chris without reservation for anyone needing a lawyer.
