Excellent Attorney! A++

Christopher is a very knowledgeable and well versed attorney in the family law division. He is very kind and down to earth. He fights for your wants, is very passionate about his work and has an outstanding track record. He is someone you want to have on your side. I highly recommend this attorney.

Excellent Domestic Violence and Family Attorney!!! He Fights For You!!

Christopher is the best marital attorney in the metropolitan area. He represented me on a Domestic Violence situation involving my ex-husband. Christopher took the time to learn my case and understand the entire situation. He is very passionate and fights hard for you. My Final Restraining Order was ...granted and my ex husband's counter complaint was dismissed. Chris is currently retained for the visitation matter as well. It also helps that he has an incredibly awesome sense of humor during these difficult situations. At times, when I was crying because of stress he allowed me to enjoy a laugh or two. That in itself speaks volumes about his character. His results are also outstanding. He is a win/win attorney and amazing person. Thank you!

Awesome Attorney To Have

Chris was, and still is, the best attorney I have had the pleasure of meeting. He has helped me several times in the past, and is helping me once again. He is a great guy, but on top of that, he is extremely professional. Anytime I had a question, he had the answer. Anytime I needed to speak to h...im, he was there. And, if he was not there, someone from his office was there to help me and guide me. Even if his office provided me with an answer, Chris always calls back to make sure everything is clear and understood. Chris Garibian has, and continues, to go above and beyond the call of duty for me. He is a hands on attorney, and that makes me feel very comfortable having someone like him in my corner.

Excellent, knowledgeable supportive attorney

I would definately recommend Mr. Garibian to anyone needing his services. Chris is an excellent lawyer who has the best interest of his clients in mind. He is professional and hardworking. He was able to settle my case with all the terms I was looking for. I hope I won't need his services again, but... if I do I will definately give him a call.

Amazing

I was referred to Christopher through a reliable source and have to say, I was more than pleased with the effort, work, and care that he put into my case. Not only did Mr. Garibian help me to win my case, he did so in less than two weeks time. I would absolutely recommend Christopher to anyone who ...needed a trustworthy and hard working attorney. If for whatever reason I find myself in a similar situation in the future, he will be the first person I turn to. Not only is Christopher a great attorney, he has his clients best interest in mind and he can relate to them on a personal level; he is completely professional and is a real person at the same time. Christopher handled my case 100% pro bono and I never felt slighted or that he treated me differently; it's apparent that he is in this profession to help people, not for the money.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
