I was stuck in a serious situation, basically hopeless when I contacted Chris Griffiths. Through the case we did not lose one hearing. They were on top of every situation and made me realize how much they really care about their clients. Very professional, extremely knowledgeable in any family law situation. Absolute bulldogs in the courtroom. If you put in the work on your end Chris and his team are going to get you the results you want regardless of your situation. He believed in me from the get go and went hard to win my case because he loves to help and he really loves to win. Amazing law firm, couldn’t be happier.
