I hired Christopher Farwell for my divorce and 1 year later I clearly see how much I got screwed. Christopher is extremely overpriced for his services. I payed $8,000+ to get a divorce decree where my ex got everything he wanted. I just want to mention my ex self represented himself and payed nothing since he didn't hire a lawyer. Also, my ex is not a US citizen. If someone from another country that has no knowledge of US laws and used google for legal advice can do a better job than a lawyer there is clearly something wrong. I can't even sleep at night one year later thinking about how Chris Farwell took thousands and thousands of dollars of my money, but did nothing for me. My ex and I got divorced with a child involved. My ex gets the dependency exemption for taxes every year, which I now know is extremely rare and uncommon; I somehow lost this battle in the divorce. My ex got an extreme amount of visitation that he argued about until he got his way ( 1 year later he doesn't even use this visitation at all). Like I said earlier my ex is not a US citizen.... Chris Farwell somehow couldn't even stop the judge from deciding that my child could leave the U.S. with my ex after my ex threatened me he was going to leave the country with my child and that we wouldn't see each other ever again. Also, I learned Chris Farwell is one of the most expensive lawyers in the area. If I could give advice I would say please don't let happen to you what happened to me. Chris Farwell is lazy and doesn't put as much effort into a case for the price he charges. He charges $200 an hour and I wouldn't even pay $10 an hour for the service that I got. There were tons of red flags during the whole process, but I was emotional from getting divorced that I overlooked them because I was scared. I highly regret not switching lawyers in the middle of this process. 1 year later I am still struggling with dealing with my ex. My ex and I jointly own a property together and Chris took my exes word that my ex couldn't get the house refinanced into his own name (which was a lie). The agreement in the divorce was that the house be sold. Now 1 year later my ex doesn't have the house for sale anymore and is renting out the house making a profit off the house while it is still in my name! I've told my ex for months that his 1 year is over and my name needs to be off the house and my ex refuses to refinance the house in his own name. I even took the extra step and found a bank that will most likely refinance the house loan in only my exes name with a lower interest rate! My ex still won't get the house in only his name!!! 1 year later I am now set up by Chris Farwell to go back to court to deal with all the things Chris started, but couldn't finish.
