I've worked with many attorneys of various specialties in my career, both as a client and as a vendor. I've been continually impressed by the skill and professionalism of the staff at this firm. I have the most experience working with Melinda & Kyler and both are absolutely brilliant at what they do. They genuinely care about their clients and aren't just trying to make a quick buck. I've referred multiple people to them and will continue to do so.

Chris was always fair and really good with my kids! He was always very honest with me and was a great mediator between me and my ex husband. My children always felt comfortable with him. I would recommend him as a GAL to anyone who was in a high conflict divorce and has children! His staff was also very nice and knowledgeable and courteous to my needs when I would call.

My husband and I worked with Chris for a family law case against my husband's ex-wife. Chris was completely inept - he left out key points of argument and evidence that were proof my husband was in the right. He lacked basic understanding and showed very little care of our case. We have spent thousands with a new attorney just to try and fix his carelessness.

Chris went above and beyond to get me out of a mess that was really due to arrogance of certain law enforcement, as well as miscommunication. His fees were VERY fair and his knowledge as a former prosecutor helped clinch my victory in court. I owe him my professional license.. He is highly recommended..

My husband and I have been working with Chris for over a year now, working on finalizing a child custody issue. Chris has been such a good listener, and really looked out for our best interests. We have witnessed the opposing council's lack of professionalism and knowledge basic laws, and have been so utterly grateful for the knowledge and competency of Chris and his firm.
I highly recommend Chris for Family Law. He has demonstrated his dedication to the law and his clients!
