To say my case was complicated would be an understatement. My case has been ongoing for almost 2 years now. It started with an HRO violation, then another then another until I was charged 9 times in 15 months. Mr. Cadem has been by my side through it all. I cannot say how grateful I to have the best attorney when I walk into the court room. His work and dedication to helping people whom have been wrongfully charged with a crime is unsurpassed. There are many attorneys out there, but Chris will fight for your rights. After all was said and done I owned the 1st HRO violation that I committed and Mr. Cadem fought for my rights and freedom to show that I did not commit the others as was said by the plaintiff. I will never be able to express my gratitude for the work he has done.

Please read: Christopher was hired to represent my daughter on dui and other related charges. I have over 12 years past paralegal experience and felt like we hit the jackpot hiring Cadem Law Group. Their letterhead truly sums it up: aggressive, compassionate and strategic representation. His expertise through years of experience and professionalism helped her get the dui and nearly all other charges dismissed for a single flat fee. I strongly recommend Cadem Law Group for criminal representation.

Chris Cadem has represented me in a complex lawsuit and a motion to deny my rights to a business ownership. His expert knowledge and presentation lead to rulings in my favor. I will and have recommended Chris to my friends and family.

Mr. Cadem represented me against the previous owner of my house on a case involving fraudulent disclosures. He is bright, motivated and dedicated to his work. I also found him to be very personable and attentive. His writing is strong and persuasive, and he performs especially well in court. Most importantly, the results he delivered (ultimately, a monetary settlement) far exceeded my expectations! I will be a lifelong client.

Chris was referred to me from another attorney to help handle a real estate dispute that stemmed from the closing of an estate. In my profession, I have worked with several different attorneys that handle estate planning, probate, and litigation, but none have compared to the expertise of Chris Cadem. I have used him and will continue referring my clients to him in the future whenever possible.
