My father died young and unexpectedly and I was left to deal with his estate and difficult wife. I had no idea what all needed to be done or where to even start. Chris was recommended to me by a friend of my fathers and from the very first phone call with Chris, I knew I was in good hands. Chris thoroughly explained everything that needed to be done and was always quick to answer my questions. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case all because of Chris' knowledge, hard work and compassion. Chris really went above and beyond to help me and I am forever grateful. Highly recommended!

My husband died in January and Chris was recommended to me by a neighbor who had just lost his wife. Chris was very helpful, understanding and patient during our dealings with estate issues and new legal documents for me. I asked him to help with legal documents for my sister. She has some challenges and was very anxious about meeting with an attorney. Chris spoke directly to her with kindness and made her feel comfortable. She was not intimated and we were able to get documents and establish a trust for her. Chris is personable and interested in us as people not just clients. When our business was completed, my sister and I actually missed him! Imagine, actually missing an attorney! Thank you for the opportunity to acknowledge Chris for his professional behavior, but also his ability to sincerely relate to clients on a personal level.

Chris was recommended to me as a specialist in Elder law by a friend who is also an attorney. I am VERY grateful. Chris has guided us through a difficult, complex and emotional situation with expertise and compassion. Chris' broad knowledge base, previous experience and contacts in the larger legal community are especially helpful. He is very responsive, responding quickly to emails and phone calls and completing all work within the time frame we expected. We are very pleased with the outcomes we have achieved because of Chris' guidance and legal services. And we have been grateful for his kindness to our family as well as his professional help. Chris is approachable and easy to talk to, as well as knowledgable. We whole heartedly recommend Chris.

Chris Clendenen is an excellent attorney. I have used his services in estate planning. He is knowledgeable and provides legal advice given in a way you can understand. He prepared a will for my mother some years back. She passed away and the correctness and wording of her will made things easy for me and my brother. He promptly returns phone calls and his ethical standards are excellent.
