I hired Chris to be my lawyer for a custody issue that had been screwed up by another law firm. Chris came in and got up to speed on the case quickly and help me achieve an outcome that the other firm said would be impossible. In my opinion Chris is one of the best family law lawyers in Des Moines if not the best!!!!
Chris was there for me in my time of need and despair. His response time was timely and he looked out for me and my son at a vulnerable time in our lives. His direct, decisive mannerism met with his compassionate heart was reassuring to me. He is top notch in his negotiations and helping to discern what needs to happen to keep his client in the best position possible. He understands and knows the law not an attorney who is going to overpromise and underdeliver. He is conscientious on billing and I never felt taken advantage of or milked for his interest. I have and do recommend Chris to my friends and family as I trust him to be a true professional and highly ethical. Thank you for creating a safe space for me and my son! My divorce is final and I am satisfied with what Chris has done for me.
Highly Recommend. Chris was very professional and responsive. Helped guide me from start to finish with great advice and knowledge.
Mr. Coppola handled my case quicker than I expected with a favorable outcome and was there to explain the steps to me. I would highly recommend him to anybody needing a criminal lawyer!
Chris Coppola was my representation in a recent family law matter. You will not find a better attorney. He is responsive, empathetic, fierce in a negotiation, and will stand by your side in a very difficult time. He knowledge of family law is vast and he was able to communicate with me very effectively during times of distress. I would recommend him 10/10 times to any family , friend, or colleague looking to hire an attorney.
I've used Chris for a number of legal needs throughout the years. Most recently was related to a personal injury accident. Chris delivered excellent results with the highest degree of integrity and professionalism. I highly recommend Chris!
I hired Chris for a difficult divorce case that went to trial. He helped in all aspects. Coached and educated me through every process. He remained calm during stressful situations while providing empathy and compassion. Chris and his paralegal, Sarah are very organized and have quick response time. They both worked around the clock for my case. I needed someone to be blunt and Chris is just that. He offers great advice and indicates the potential of every outcome. And he knocked the socks off in the courtroom!
I hired Chris to help with my custody case. Chris was very professional from day 1, and was determined to help me in every which way possible. Chris came in ready to go to bat for me. Chris kept good communication with what was going on in my case, what I needed to do, and how to handle certain situations. He is very knowledgeable with the laws, knows what you will be going after, and does not stop until you win or until you say so. If you want an attorney that is driven to win, and win with ease - this is the attorney for you.
Chris has been a Godsend, literally. When I hired him, I was beginning to lose hope that I’d find an attorney that I’d feel confident in that they’d help in my ‘difficult’ custody case. Chris, without hesitation, took over my case, while we were half way into it. My previous representation from another well known law firm in the area robbed me of thousands of dollars and got nothing done for me. Chris asked for a fair and reasonable retainer up front and got the job done and got it done QUICK! I highly recommend Chris Coppola and his awesome assistant, Sarah to anyone seeking legal representation. They have been amazing and I’m so grateful for all they have done for me and my children!
Helpful with all types of legal matters. Very responsive to phone calls and emails.
