Posted by Skyler | September 09, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Takes no BS.

I hired Chris for a divorce case. I have a daughter involved in the case as well. I was about to get screwed with less time and TOO much in child support each month. Chris came in, took charge of what needed to be done, and he got s*** done. Chris means business. He doesn’t waste time worrying about ...useless information. He gets straight to the details and keeps the conversation very much to the point. If you want to, I dont know, maybe NOT get screwed by your ex-wife. HIRE THIS MAN. Listen to what he has to say. Take his advice. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I definitely am not! I’m finally done with my divorce and everything’s great! I am indeed grateful and amazed at what Chris was able to do for me.

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!

Divorce

Hired him to do a divorce case. All he did was talk about his divorce, and tried to implement what he got in his divorce onto my case. Instead of going after my husband for child support and fraud, he did nothing. Thousands of dollars to listen to him complain. Avoid this one for family court.

Dear A.R. (the malcontent are not as "anonymous" as they may hope), Firstly, if I left you feeling so bad, I appreciate 2 of 5 stars as you clearly had lesser options. Second, as you feel it necessary to vent your frustrations with me online, instead of to me, I believe that you also force a defense in kind. Therefore... Please recognize that you brought your problems to me and I was just trying to help you. It is very unfortunate that you cannot listen to experienced suggestions. Moreover, when you stop paying your bill, please don't expect a lawyer to finance the case and don't be shocked when they withdraw from helping you. It is awfully sad to see that your case continues to be disputed 2 years after I withdrew. If others choose to listen to complaints like yours, I'd rather not try to represent them either.
