Chris was very helpful with my family law case. He was very compassionate and trustworthy. He is also very easy to communicate with either by phone call, text message, or email. Overall I would recommend him!

Mr. Dunnells was hired to help with a chancery court matter and took care of everything. The process wasn't as stressful, expensive, or time-consuming as I originally thought, and that was all thanks to Mr. Dunnells.

Chris was able to do all of the work to start up my small business, including advising of potential problems that could arise and providing counsel on how to avoid them on the front end.

Chris was hired to help with custody papers for a grandchild and was very understanding to my situation. We actually met 6 months before I took action and he still had his notes and remembered everything. He served me well, but also looked out for the baby's mother when requested. He met with me as much as I needed, returned all my calls, and held my hand through the process. Chris prepared me for court since this was my first experience. He actually returned some money to me- which how many lawyers do that. He was very conscientious of my finances, which I really appreciated. I'll use him again for other services.

Mr. Dunnells represented us in our adoption & termination of parental rights case & was phenomenal. He handled everything timely & efficently, always updating me & answering any questions I had. He took his time while talking with me & never rushed through any of our conversations. Mr. Dunnells will still be our attorney in future cases & we are ecstatic we worked with him!

Chris was professional and yet displayed great empathy for my situation. He was very prompt in returning calls and answering texts and emails. He made the process as hassle free as possible. I'm very pleased to have chosen him to handle my divorce.

This young man knows his stuff. No one can know everything ao he will be the first to tell you that if he doesn't know something he will find out. He has a commanding presence AND voice. In other words, he can sound stern while remaining firm and fair. I'm sure anyone reading this is wondering about his fee. We found it to be very agreeable. Having hired many attorneys in the past we found that we got an extremely good/great attorney for a very fair price. He is not family and before we met he and his wife we were not our friends. In saying that, this is an unsolicited review. We now count them among our friends, because we trust him. So much so that we have hired him for a new venture of ours. When an attorney gets repeat business on an entirely different issue it says a lot for the person. Repeat business is your best recommendation. You can not go wrong with Chris Dunnells.

Mr. Dunnells was amazing in doing my uncontested divorce. Everything was filed on the exact day it was able. He was always in immediate contact with anything going on with the case and was very kind during the entire process ! I couldn't have had better!
