Modification

Phenomenal! When dealing with a very uncooperative and manipulative ex-wife, Chris displayed unwavering support for me and my children. Throughout my case, Chris proved to be very forthcoming, honest and diligent in his work. He succeeded in re-writing an incredibly vague divorce settlement (from a ...previous lawyer) and ultimately delivered more than what was anticipated. More importantly, Chris proved to be extremely trustworthy and continually sought what was best for me and my children. In essence, throughout a tiresome and incredibly stressful process, Chris made me feel like I was priority to him, as he took a very personal claim to my needs in the outcome of my case. I can't thank him enough. Highly recommend!

Fought for me in my divorce

Chris Wirken did an amazing job getting me through my divorce, and then has helped me back in court with parenting plan issues due to my moving from one town to another. He was understanding and could relate to much of what I was going through as he has been through divorce himself. He doesn't puss...y foot around, he gets the job done and it to the point. He doesn't waste your money by dragging his feet. Very thorough and I would recommend to anyone and have.
