I hired Christopher after meeting with well over a dozen other highly regarded divorce attorneys in the Madison area. I knew choosing my divorce attorney was going to be a huge, life-altering decision, (after all, (obviously most importantly) custody of my kids and my assets were on the line) so I devoted a TON of time and research into making my decision the right one. Christopher immediately stood out during our consultation as extremely bright, knowledgable, experienced, savvy, patient, quick to answer every question with in-depth responses, understanding of how upset I was but informing me of the process, up-front/honest about some of the challenges we might face regarding my case (no sugar coating), and remarkably kind. I researched him at nauseum and found nothing but excellent client and peer reviews prior to hiring him. The aforementioned qualities did not change or fade one bit during my entire experience and time with Christopher and his availability and communication was always top-notch. Christopher's going to tell you what is best for you as his client, even if it's not what you want to hear because you're angry, irrational, or spiteful. He had a way of refocusing me on our long-term goals during my times of anger, feeling hopeless, and irrationality during my divorce--that was really important in retrospect. Divorce is a terrible thing to go through, no matter who you hire, but I know I was extremely lucky to have Christopher's experience, knowledge, and reassuring/kind nature on my side. The fact that he's a remarkably kind, caring, and decent man is icing on the cake; it just so happened the brightest and best attorney I could find had those qualities. Again, I was very lucky to find him. Christopher was seemingly one step ahead of my wife's attorney at every turn. He will fight for you and he's VERY sharp and bright. He's truly excellent at what he does. I never hesitated to contact him with questions or concerns, but ultimately I let him utilize his expertise in the decision making department; something I'm so glad I did now that reflect on my experience. Going through all that I did without his experience, extraordinary expertise, and calming presence by my side is unimaginable in retrospect. Divorce is terrible, no couple thinks it's going to be them. However, it happens and you're going to need a great, not good, attorney fighting for you when it does--and Christopher is amazing at what he does. Needless to say, I'm very happy with the outcome of my case. I can't recommend Christopher enough.
