I recently needed legal representation for a custody trial and was referred to Christian Lapham. After one conversation with Christian, I was confident that this was the attorney that I wanted to represent me. He is a brilliant attorney who focuses on the best interest of your child and handles family manners with unmatched empathy and professionalism. Christian is passionate about his work, and that became increasingly apparent to me as my trial date approached. Although Christian is a proven litigator, he focuses on finding the best solution for you and your family. He is assertive and will be firm when necessary. I appreciated that Christian maintained his composure during emotional conversations with the opposition. I genuinely believe his demeanor and consistency is what drove us to a negotiated result. As far as cost, yes, Christian is expensive. However, the process of negotiating for time with my child was scary and unnerving, and having the support of Christian throughout was invaluable. He is efficient with his time and is fair with his billing. I appreciated that he took the time to explain the billing process to me, avoiding surprises at the end of the month. All of the colleagues I worked with were bright, passionate, and knowledgeable. I felt confident having the backing of a full and qualified legal team.

Christian Lapham of Bean, Kinney and Korman, was my divorce attorney. He came recommended from our marriage counselor who worked with him on some Divorce Options workshops in Northern Virginia. Christian was an outstanding advocate for me from the beginning of the divorce process to the end (formal decree) and even beyond that. He is organized, smart, tenacious, and perhaps most important to me, a great counselor during a time I needed it most, providing guidance, wisdom and support. I felt he provided excellent value, and that become apparent throughout my divorce proceedings, especially in contrast to my ex’s attorney. He also had an impressive understanding of the Fairfax County court system and was very familiar with its judges and workings. I also want to comment on his character: Christian is fair, honest, and kind – not the attributes you typically associate with a great attorney. If you need a top notch family lawyer, I would recommend Christian without any reservation whatsoever.

Christian was a calm advisor during what is always a difficult time. He provided good advice, but was careful not to be intrusive to the disires of his client. Also worked for a reasonable fee.

I met Christian towards the end of my divorce due to a relocation of my initial lawyer. Switching in the middle of things was unsettling, because I was unsure how somebody new was going to understand or even care about my case. I worked with Christian briefly to get things settled and finalized and wasn't sure I was going to need him again and took our experience together as a quick, but positive one. A year later I found myself in a situation and needed help! Christian was there the second I reached out and held my hand through a difficult relocation and child custody case. He was responsive and honest throughout the entire process. Going through a second round of what felt like divorce negotiations was extremely emotional and tiring, and by the end there was doubt in my mind that it would even work out. I was exhausted, but knowing that I had someone who cared about my case behind me really got me through. Even on the worst days, a meeting or discussion with Christian would turn my mood around and re-invigorate me to keep going forward. He had his entire team working to make sure I came out on the right side of my case and we went into a settlement negotiation fully prepared because of all their hard work. I can now say that because of his help I am in an amazing place in my life. I have full confidence that should anything arise in the future that he'll be right there to help me through. He is professional, honest and caring; and I would recommend him to any of my friends and family.

I was going through a bad separation/divorce in 2010 and I needed an attorney ASAP. I looked around the internet and posted what I was looking for in an attorney on a website. Christian immediately emailed me and said he could help me out with my situation. The minute I met him, I knew I hit the lottery with him as my attorney. Christian is such a calming presence and assured me he would take care of my stress and make sure that I would not be bullied by me ex's attorney. Off and on, my divorce and custody battle went on for a few years! Each time, Christian was there and had my back. My Ex's attorney was a very difficult person to deal with and very irrational and emotional at times as well. This behavior allowed my attorney (Christian) to come out with a favorable outcome when it came to my custody issue. His recommendation on having my young son testify in my custody battle was key to me having 50-50 split shared custody. While always calling a child to testify is a calculated risk, Christian felt good about it with the Judge that would oversee the trial. Christian also made excellent choices for me when it came to my divorce. His recommendation on a small buyout of my ex in return for her leaving my retirement alone and forfeiting her ability to ever come back to me for anything in the future was the BEST decision I ever made. I didn't think that at the time, but he assured me it was in my best interest seeing how vindictive my ex is. The end result? Christian was correct! Whenever I had needed Christian, he's always been there for me. He has become more than just "my attorney" He has become a true friend and someone that I consider family. He is so kind, considerate and his integrity is what makes him an outstanding attorney. While I hope I never go through anything like this ever again, I know that I can rely and count on Christian if I ever need him again in the future. He's a great person and an excellent attorney!

Like so many, I never imagined needing the services of a divorce attorney. It was upsetting, unfamiliar, and a venture into uncharted waters. From our initial meeting, Christian was calm, clear in his explanation of the process, sensitive with his questions, and thoughtful with his comments and suggestions. He listens and shares his thoughts and experiences. He is a wonderful guide through a very challenging time. He always has a smile, a gentle grace, and a sense of humor - and yes, you need a sense of humor to get through this! Christian is the consummate professional - giving expert advice on the law, developing a sound strategy for the case, and requesting advice from other professionals when required. He is easy to reach and always responsive to questions. In short, Christian is not only a skilled attorney, he is a caring and compassionate man. I put my faith and trust in Christian from our first meeting and I was never disappointed along the way. I am thankful to have had his assistance and very happy to have made his acquaintance. He is a gem.

Bean Kinney & Korman was recommended to me in the summer of 2014. Christian Lapham met with me during the most difficult time of my life and has navigated me through complicated legal issues involving child custody and divorce. My custody case was complex because it involved multi-states and parental kidnapping. Christian and worked vigorously, using his knowledge of the legal system in different states to bring about the outcome I was seeking--to reunite my a brother and sister with each other and their moth. Christian is a brilliant attorney, which is very important but knowing that he genuinely cared about me and my children has been comforting in the last year. Christian was always upfront about costs and his bills were always transparent. I would reccommend Christian to friends, family and even strangers I meet on the street who are looking for an honest, hard-working attorney who will fight for you.

From our initial meeting, Christian was calm, clear in his explanation of the process, sensitive with his questions, and thoughtful with his comments and suggestions. He listens and shares his thoughts and experiences. He is a wonderful guide through a very challenging time. He always has a smile, a gentle grace, and a sense of humor - and yes, you need a sense of humor to get through this! Christian is the consummate professional - giving expert advice on the law, developing a sound strategy for the case, and requesting advice from other professionals when required. He is easy to reach and always responsive to questions. In short, Christian is not only a skilled attorney, he is a caring and compassionate man. I put my faith and trust in Christian from our first meeting and I was never disappointed along the way. I am thankful to have had his assistance and very happy to have made his acquaintance. He is a gem.

Bean Kinney & Korman was recommended to me in the summer of 2014. Christian Lapham met with me during the most difficult time of my life and has navigated me through complicated legal issues involving child custody and divorce. My custody case was complex because it involved multi-states and parental kidnapping. Christian and worked vigorously, using his knowledge of the legal system in different states to bring about the outcome I was seeking--to reunite my a brother and sister with each other and their moth. Christian is a brilliant attorney, which is very important but knowing that he genuinely cared about me and my children has been comforting in the last year. Christian was always upfront about costs and his bills were always transparent. I would reccommend Christian to friends, family and even strangers I meet on the street who are looking for an honest, hard-working attorney who will fight for you.

I recently needed legal representation for a custody trial and was referred to Christian Lapham. After one conversation with Christian, I was confident that this was the attorney that I wanted to represent me. He is a brilliant attorney who focuses on the best interest of your child and handles family manners with unmatched empathy and professionalism. Christian is passionate about his work, and that became increasingly apparent to me as my trial date approached. Although Christian is a proven litigator, he focuses on finding the best solution for you and your family. He is assertive and will be firm when necessary. I appreciated that Christian maintained his composure during emotional conversations with the opposition. I genuinely believe his demeanor and consistency is what drove us to a negotiated result. As far as cost, yes, Christian is expensive. However, the process of negotiating for time with my child was scary and unnerving, and having the support of Christian throughout was invaluable. He is efficient with his time and is fair with his billing. I appreciated that he took the time to explain the billing process to me, avoiding surprises at the end of the month. All of the colleagues I worked with were bright, passionate, and knowledgeable. I felt confident having the backing of a full and qualified legal team.

Christian Lapham of Bean, Kinney and Korman, was my divorce attorney. He came recommended from our marriage counselor who worked with him on some Divorce Options workshops in Northern Virginia. Christian was an outstanding advocate for me from the beginning of the divorce process to the end (formal decree) and even beyond that. He is organized, smart, tenacious, and perhaps most important to me, a great counselor during a time I needed it most, providing guidance, wisdom and support. I felt he provided excellent value, and that become apparent throughout my divorce proceedings, especially in contrast to my ex’s attorney. He also had an impressive understanding of the Fairfax County court system and was very familiar with its judges and workings. I also want to comment on his character: Christian is fair, honest, and kind – not the attributes you typically associate with a great attorney. If you need a top notch family lawyer, I would recommend Christian without any reservation whatsoever.

Christian was a calm advisor during what is always a difficult time. He provided good advice, but was careful not to be intrusive to the disires of his client. Also worked for a reasonable fee.

I met Christian towards the end of my divorce due to a relocation of my initial lawyer. Switching in the middle of things was unsettling, because I was unsure how somebody new was going to understand or even care about my case. I worked with Christian briefly to get things settled and finalized and wasn't sure I was going to need him again and took our experience together as a quick, but positive one. A year later I found myself in a situation and needed help! Christian was there the second I reached out and held my hand through a difficult relocation and child custody case. He was responsive and honest throughout the entire process. Going through a second round of what felt like divorce negotiations was extremely emotional and tiring, and by the end there was doubt in my mind that it would even work out. I was exhausted, but knowing that I had someone who cared about my case behind me really got me through. Even on the worst days, a meeting or discussion with Christian would turn my mood around and re-invigorate me to keep going forward. He had his entire team working to make sure I came out on the right side of my case and we went into a settlement negotiation fully prepared because of all their hard work. I can now say that because of his help I am in an amazing place in my life. I have full confidence that should anything arise in the future that he'll be right there to help me through. He is professional, honest and caring; and I would recommend him to any of my friends and family.

I was going through a bad separation/divorce in 2010 and I needed an attorney ASAP. I looked around the internet and posted what I was looking for in an attorney on a website. Christian immediately emailed me and said he could help me out with my situation. The minute I met him, I knew I hit the lottery with him as my attorney. Christian is such a calming presence and assured me he would take care of my stress and make sure that I would not be bullied by me ex's attorney. Off and on, my divorce and custody battle went on for a few years! Each time, Christian was there and had my back. My Ex's attorney was a very difficult person to deal with and very irrational and emotional at times as well. This behavior allowed my attorney (Christian) to come out with a favorable outcome when it came to my custody issue. His recommendation on having my young son testify in my custody battle was key to me having 50-50 split shared custody. While always calling a child to testify is a calculated risk, Christian felt good about it with the Judge that would oversee the trial. Christian also made excellent choices for me when it came to my divorce. His recommendation on a small buyout of my ex in return for her leaving my retirement alone and forfeiting her ability to ever come back to me for anything in the future was the BEST decision I ever made. I didn't think that at the time, but he assured me it was in my best interest seeing how vindictive my ex is. The end result? Christian was correct! Whenever I had needed Christian, he's always been there for me. He has become more than just "my attorney" He has become a true friend and someone that I consider family. He is so kind, considerate and his integrity is what makes him an outstanding attorney. While I hope I never go through anything like this ever again, I know that I can rely and count on Christian if I ever need him again in the future. He's a great person and an excellent attorney!

I was going through a bad separation/divorce in 2010 and I needed an attorney ASAP. I looked around the internet and posted what I was looking for in an attorney on a website. Christian immediately emailed me and said he could help me out with my situation. The minute I met him, I knew I hit the lottery with him as my attorney. Christian is such a calming presence and assured me he would take care of my stress and make sure that I would not be bullied by me ex's attorney. Off and on, my divorce and custody battle went on for a few years! Each time, Christian was there and had my back. My Ex's attorney was a very difficult person to deal with and very irrational and emotional at times as well. This behavior allowed my attorney (Christian) to come out with a favorable outcome when it came to my custody issue. His recommendation on having my young son testify in my custody battle was key to me having 50-50 split shared custody. While always calling a child to testify is a calculated risk, Christian felt good about it with the Judge that would oversee the trial. Christian also made excellent choices for me when it came to my divorce. His recommendation on a small buyout of my ex in return for her leaving my retirement alone and forfeiting her ability to ever come back to me for anything in the future was the BEST decision I ever made. I didn't think that at the time, but he assured me it was in my best interest seeing how vindictive my ex is. The end result? Christian was correct! Whenever I had needed Christian, he's always been there for me. He has become more than just "my attorney" He has become a true friend and someone that I consider family. He is so kind, considerate and his integrity is what makes him an outstanding attorney. While I hope I never go through anything like this ever again, I know that I can rely and count on Christian if I ever need him again in the future. He's a great person and an excellent attorney!

Like so many, I never imagined needing the services of a divorce attorney. It was upsetting, unfamiliar, and a venture into uncharted waters. From our initial meeting, Christian was calm, clear in his explanation of the process, sensitive with his questions, and thoughtful with his comments and suggestions. He listens and shares his thoughts and experiences. He is a wonderful guide through a very challenging time. He always has a smile, a gentle grace, and a sense of humor - and yes, you need a sense of humor to get through this! Christian is the consummate professional - giving expert advice on the law, developing a sound strategy for the case, and requesting advice from other professionals when required. He is easy to reach and always responsive to questions. In short, Christian is not only a skilled attorney, he is a caring and compassionate man. I put my faith and trust in Christian from our first meeting and I was never disappointed along the way. I am thankful to have had his assistance and very happy to have made his acquaintance. He is a gem.

Bean Kinney & Korman was recommended to me in the summer of 2014. Christian Lapham met with me during the most difficult time of my life and has navigated me through complicated legal issues involving child custody and divorce. My custody case was complex because it involved multi-states and parental kidnapping. Christian and worked vigorously, using his knowledge of the legal system in different states to bring about the outcome I was seeking--to reunite my a brother and sister with each other and their moth. Christian is a brilliant attorney, which is very important but knowing that he genuinely cared about me and my children has been comforting in the last year. Christian was always upfront about costs and his bills were always transparent. I would reccommend Christian to friends, family and even strangers I meet on the street who are looking for an honest, hard-working attorney who will fight for you.

I recently needed legal representation for a custody trial and was referred to Christian Lapham. After one conversation with Christian, I was confident that this was the attorney that I wanted to represent me. He is a brilliant attorney who focuses on the best interest of your child and handles family manners with unmatched empathy and professionalism. Christian is passionate about his work, and that became increasingly apparent to me as my trial date approached. Although Christian is a proven litigator, he focuses on finding the best solution for you and your family. He is assertive and will be firm when necessary. I appreciated that Christian maintained his composure during emotional conversations with the opposition. I genuinely believe his demeanor and consistency is what drove us to a negotiated result. As far as cost, yes, Christian is expensive. However, the process of negotiating for time with my child was scary and unnerving, and having the support of Christian throughout was invaluable. He is efficient with his time and is fair with his billing. I appreciated that he took the time to explain the billing process to me, avoiding surprises at the end of the month. All of the colleagues I worked with were bright, passionate, and knowledgeable. I felt confident having the backing of a full and qualified legal team.

Christian Lapham of Bean, Kinney and Korman, was my divorce attorney. He came recommended from our marriage counselor who worked with him on some Divorce Options workshops in Northern Virginia. Christian was an outstanding advocate for me from the beginning of the divorce process to the end (formal decree) and even beyond that. He is organized, smart, tenacious, and perhaps most important to me, a great counselor during a time I needed it most, providing guidance, wisdom and support. I felt he provided excellent value, and that become apparent throughout my divorce proceedings, especially in contrast to my ex’s attorney. He also had an impressive understanding of the Fairfax County court system and was very familiar with its judges and workings. I also want to comment on his character: Christian is fair, honest, and kind – not the attributes you typically associate with a great attorney. If you need a top notch family lawyer, I would recommend Christian without any reservation whatsoever.

Christian was a calm advisor during what is always a difficult time. He provided good advice, but was careful not to be intrusive to the disires of his client. Also worked for a reasonable fee.

I met Christian towards the end of my divorce due to a relocation of my initial lawyer. Switching in the middle of things was unsettling, because I was unsure how somebody new was going to understand or even care about my case. I worked with Christian briefly to get things settled and finalized and wasn't sure I was going to need him again and took our experience together as a quick, but positive one. A year later I found myself in a situation and needed help! Christian was there the second I reached out and held my hand through a difficult relocation and child custody case. He was responsive and honest throughout the entire process. Going through a second round of what felt like divorce negotiations was extremely emotional and tiring, and by the end there was doubt in my mind that it would even work out. I was exhausted, but knowing that I had someone who cared about my case behind me really got me through. Even on the worst days, a meeting or discussion with Christian would turn my mood around and re-invigorate me to keep going forward. He had his entire team working to make sure I came out on the right side of my case and we went into a settlement negotiation fully prepared because of all their hard work. I can now say that because of his help I am in an amazing place in my life. I have full confidence that should anything arise in the future that he'll be right there to help me through.

He also had an impressive understanding of the Fairfax County court system and was very familiar with its judges and workings. I also want to comment on his character: Christian is fair, honest, and kind – not the attributes you typically associate with a great attorney. If you need a top notch family lawyer, I would recommend Christian without any reservation whatsoever.

Christian was a calm advisor during what is always a difficult time. He provided good advice, but was careful not to be intrusive to the disires of his client. Also worked for a reasonable fee.

I met Christian towards the end of my divorce due to a relocation of my initial lawyer. Switching in the middle of things was unsettling, because I was unsure how somebody new was going to understand or even care about my case. I worked with Christian briefly to get things settled and finalized and wasn't sure I was going to need him again and took our experience together as a quick, but positive one. A year later I found myself in a situation and needed help! Christian was there the second I reached out and held my hand through a difficult relocation and child custody case. He was responsive and honest throughout the entire process. Going through a second round of what felt like divorce negotiations was extremely emotional and tiring, and by the end there was doubt in my mind that it would even work out. I was exhausted, but knowing that I had someone who cared about my case behind me really got me through. Even on the worst days, a meeting or discussion with Christian would turn my mood around and re-invigorate me to keep going forward. He had his entire team working to make sure I came out on the right side of my case and we went into a settlement negotiation fully prepared because of all their hard work. I can now say that because of his help I am in an amazing place in my life. I have full confidence that should anything arise in the future that he'll be right there to help me through. He is professional, honest and caring; and I would recommend him to any of my friends and family.

I was going through a bad separation/divorce in 2010 and I needed an attorney ASAP. I looked around the internet and posted what I was looking for in an attorney on a website. Christian immediately emailed me and said he could help me out with my situation. The minute I met him, I knew I hit the lottery with him as my attorney. Christian is such a calming presence and assured me he would take care of my stress and make sure that I would not be bullied by me ex's attorney. Off and on, my divorce and custody battle went on for a few years! Each time, Christian was there and had my back. My Ex's attorney was a very difficult person to deal with and very irrational and emotional at times as well. This behavior allowed my attorney (Christian) to come out with a favorable outcome when it came to my custody issue. His recommendation on having my young son testify in my custody battle was key to me having 50-50 split shared custody. While always calling a child to testify is a calculated risk, Christian felt good about it with the Judge that would oversee the trial. Christian also made excellent choices for me when it came to my divorce. His recommendation on a small buyout of my ex in return for her leaving my retirement alone and forfeiting her ability to ever come back to me for anything in the future was the BEST decision I ever made. I didn't think that at the time, but he assured me it was in my best interest seeing how vindictive my ex is. The end result? Christian was correct! Whenever I had needed Christian, he's always been there for me. He has become more than just "my attorney" He has become a true friend and someone that I consider family. He is so kind, considerate and his integrity is what makes him an outstanding attorney. While I hope I never go through anything like this ever again, I know that I can rely and count on Christian if I ever need him again in the future. He's a great person and an excellent attorney!

Like so many, I never imagined needing the services of a divorce attorney. It was upsetting, unfamiliar, and a venture into uncharted waters. From our initial meeting, Christian was calm, clear in his explanation of the process, sensitive with his questions, and thoughtful with his comments and suggestions. He listens and shares his thoughts and experiences. He is a wonderful guide through a very challenging time. He always has a smile, a gentle grace, and a sense of humor - and yes, you need a sense of humor to get through this! Christian is the consummate professional - giving expert advice on the law, developing a sound strategy for the case, and requesting advice from other professionals when required. He is easy to reach and always responsive to questions. In short, Christian is not only a skilled attorney, he is a caring and compassionate man. I put my faith and trust in Christian from our first meeting and I was never disappointed along the way. I am thankful to have had his assistance and very happy to have made his acquaintance. He is a gem.

Bean Kinney & Korman was recommended to me in the summer of 2014. Christian Lapham met with me during the most difficult time of my life and has navigated me through complicated legal issues involving child custody and divorce. My custody case was complex because it involved multi-states and parental kidnapping. Christian and worked vigorously, using his knowledge of the legal system in different states to bring about the outcome I was seeking--to reunite my a brother and sister with each other and their moth. Christian is a brilliant attorney, which is very important but knowing that he genuinely cared about me and my children has been comforting in the last year. Christian was always upfront about costs and his bills were always transparent. I would reccommend Christian to friends, family and even strangers I meet on the street who are looking for an honest, hard-working attorney who will fight for you.

I recently needed legal representation for a custody trial and was referred to Christian Lapham. After one conversation with Christian, I was confident that this was the attorney that I wanted to represent me. He is a brilliant attorney who focuses on the best interest of your child and handles family manners with unmatched empathy and professionalism. Christian is passionate about his work, and that became increasingly apparent to me as my trial date approached. Although Christian is a proven litigator, he focuses on finding the best solution for you and your family. He is assertive and will be firm when necessary. I appreciated that Christian maintained his composure during emotional conversations with the opposition. I genuinely believe his demeanor and consistency is what drove us to a negotiated result. As far as cost, yes, Christian is expensive. However, the process of negotiating for time with my child was scary and unnerving, and having the support of Christian throughout was invaluable. He is efficient with his time and is fair with his billing. I appreciated that he took the time to explain the billing process to me, avoiding surprises at the end of the month. All of the colleagues I worked with were bright, passionate, and knowledgeable. I felt confident having the backing of a full and qualified legal team.

Christian Lapham of Bean, Kinney and Korman, was my divorce attorney. He came recommended from our marriage counselor who worked with him on some Divorce Options workshops in Northern Virginia. Christian was an outstanding advocate for me from the beginning of the divorce process to the end (formal decree) and even beyond that. He is organized, smart, tenacious, and perhaps most important to me, a great counselor during a time I needed it most, providing guidance, wisdom and support.

I would reccommend Christian to friends, family and even strangers I meet on the street who are looking for an honest, hard-working attorney who will fight for you.

I recently needed legal representation for a custody trial and was referred to Christian Lapham. After one conversation with Christian, I was confident that this was the attorney that I wanted to represent me. He is a brilliant attorney who focuses on the best interest of your child and handles family manners with unmatched empathy and professionalism. Christian is passionate about his work, and that became increasingly apparent to me as my trial date approached. Although Christian is a proven litigator, he focuses on finding the best solution for you and your family. He is assertive and will be firm when necessary. I appreciated that Christian maintained his composure during emotional conversations with the opposition. I genuinely believe his demeanor and consistency is what drove us to a negotiated result. As far as cost, yes, Christian is expensive. However, the process of negotiating for time with my child was scary and unnerving, and having the support of Christian throughout was invaluable. He is efficient with his time and is fair with his billing. I appreciated that he took the time to explain the billing process to me, avoiding surprises at the end of the month. All of the colleagues I worked with were bright, passionate, and knowledgeable. I felt confident having the backing of a full and qualified legal team.

Christian Lapham of Bean, Kinney and Korman, was my divorce attorney. He came recommended from our marriage counselor who worked with him on some Divorce Options workshops in Northern Virginia. Christian was an outstanding advocate for me from the beginning of the divorce process to the end (formal decree) and even beyond that. He is organized, smart, tenacious, and perhaps most important to me, a great counselor during a time I needed it most, providing guidance, wisdom and support. I felt he provided excellent value, and that become apparent throughout my divorce proceedings, especially in contrast to my ex’s attorney. He also had an impressive understanding of the Fairfax County court system and was very familiar with its judges and workings. I also want to comment on his character: Christian is fair, honest, and kind – not the attributes you typically associate with a great attorney. If you need a top notch family lawyer, I would recommend Christian without any reservation whatsoever.

Christian was a calm advisor during what is always a difficult time. He provided good advice, but was careful not to be intrusive to the disires of his client. Also worked for a reasonable fee.

I met Christian towards the end of my divorce due to a relocation of my initial lawyer. Switching in the middle of things was unsettling, because I was unsure how somebody new was going to understand or even care about my case. I worked with Christian briefly to get things settled and finalized and wasn't sure I was going to need him again and took our experience together as a quick, but positive one. A year later I found myself in a situation and needed help! Christian was there the second I reached out and held my hand through a difficult relocation and child custody case. He was responsive and honest throughout the entire process. Going through a second round of what felt like divorce negotiations was extremely emotional and tiring, and by the end there was doubt in my mind that it would even work out. I was exhausted, but knowing that I had someone who cared about my case behind me really got me through. Even on the worst days, a meeting or discussion with Christian would turn my mood around and re-invigorate me to keep going forward. He had his entire team working to make sure I came out on the right side of my case and we went into a settlement negotiation fully prepared because of all their hard work. I can now say that because of his help I am in an amazing place in my life. I have full confidence that should anything arise in the future that he'll be right there to help me through. He is professional, honest and caring; and I would recommend him to any of my friends and family.

I was going through a bad separation/divorce in 2010 and I needed an attorney ASAP. I looked around the internet and posted what I was looking for in an attorney on a website. Christian immediately emailed me and said he could help me out with my situation. The minute I met him, I knew I hit the lottery with him as my attorney. Christian is such a calming presence and assured me he would take care of my stress and make sure that I would not be bullied by me ex's attorney. Off and on, my divorce and custody battle went on for a few years! Each time, Christian was there and had my back. My Ex's attorney was a very difficult person to deal with and very irrational and emotional at times as well. This behavior allowed my attorney (Christian) to come out with a favorable outcome when it came to my custody issue. His recommendation on having my young son testify in my custody battle was key to me having 50-50 split shared custody. While always calling a child to testify is a calculated risk, Christian felt good about it with the Judge that would oversee the trial. Christian also made excellent choices for me when it came to my divorce. His recommendation on a small buyout of my ex in return for her leaving my retirement alone and forfeiting her ability to ever come back to me for anything in the future was the BEST decision I ever made. I didn't think that at the time, but he assured me it was in my best interest seeing how vindictive my ex is. The end result? Christian was correct! Whenever I had needed Christian, he's always been there for me. He has become more than just "my attorney" He has become a true friend and someone that I consider family. He is so kind, considerate and his integrity is what makes him an outstanding attorney. While I hope I never go through anything like this ever again, I know that I can rely and count on Christian if I ever need him again in the future. He's a great person and an excellent attorney!

Like so many, I never imagined needing the services of a divorce attorney. It was upsetting, unfamiliar, and a venture into uncharted waters. From our initial meeting, Christian was calm, clear in his explanation of the process, sensitive with his questions, and thoughtful with his comments and suggestions. He listens and shares his thoughts and experiences. He is a wonderful guide through a very challenging time. He always has a smile, a gentle grace, and a sense of humor - and yes, you need a sense of humor to get through this! Christian is the consummate professional - giving expert advice on the law, developing a sound strategy for the case, and requesting advice from other professionals when required. He is easy to reach and always responsive to questions. In short, Christian is not only a skilled attorney, he is a caring and compassionate man. I put my faith and trust in Christian from our first meeting and I was never disappointed along the way. I am thankful to have had his assistance and very happy to have made his acquaintance. He is a gem.

Bean Kinney & Korman was recommended to me in the summer of 2014. Christian Lapham met with me during the most difficult time of my life and has navigated me through complicated legal issues involving child custody and divorce. My custody case was complex because it involved multi-states and parental kidnapping. Christian and worked vigorously, using his knowledge of the legal system in different states to bring about the outcome I was seeking--to reunite my a brother and sister with each other and their moth. Christian is a brilliant attorney, which is very important but knowing that he genuinely cared about me and my children has been comforting in the last year. Christian was always upfront about costs and his bills were always transparent. I would reccommend Christian to friends, family and even strangers I meet on the street who are looking for an honest, hard-working attorney who will fight for you.
