About

I spent the first 30-years of my life listening to people tell me what a great attorney I would make. After 40-years, I decided I'd find out if they were right. I dedicated myself to law school at age 41. With the support of my wife and business partner, I graduated from MSU College of Law 3-years later.My 41-years of life before becoming a lawyer has provided me with a unique perspective on the legal system. Court and legal matters can be very intimadating to people without any experience with them. I can explain to you the process and my plan to fight for what your goals are. I'm blunt and honest with all my clients. I don't represent the spitful or those looking for retribution. I represent clients who want an advocate for their best interests and to limit the pain and damage to them and their family during probably the most difficult time in their lives.I love helping people. I am a natural fighter for all that is right.

We used Chris for a parental revocation & step parent adoption. Chris answered everything in great detail, was always available, and made sure we understood everything we were about to embark on. He never sugar coated anything. You could tell he genuinely does this for us, the client and not the paycheck. I recommend him to everyone for everything.

We had a very intricate family law/custody case and Chris did a great job winding through the mess and making sure there was an equitable outcome for our daughter.

Chris was wonderful and patient during a very emotional time. No one truly wants to go through a divorce. Chris understands that and does everything he can to make it a easy as possible. He is prompt at answering and returning calls/emails and makes you feel like you his most important client. Grateful I had him on my side. Because of him my divorce went as smoothly and painlessly as it could have.

Chris handled my divorce with flying colors. He fought for what I deserved in the settlement and kept it out of court by using a mediator. Turned out to be the best,, fastest way to get the case done quickly. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who needed a family law attorney.

If you are looking for a well-rounded, reliable attorney who is simultaneously knowledgeable, empathetic, and realistic; Chris is the one for you. His understanding of the optimal method of approaching a situation in family law is both comforting and effective, and his personal touch and dedication makes being his client a pleasurable experience. He worked with everyone involved to develop a solution that worked for everyone - a feat that I had believed unattainable - and the case was resolved almost as soon as I hired him. I couldn't be more impressed by his services. Thank you, Chris!

Mr. French represented me in a personal matter and was exemplary. He was knowledgeable and professional, and stayed on top of my case and in contact with me. And we won.

Chris worked relentlessly on my case to find mistakes the court created. Chris fixed those mistakes, closed old cases, and combined them into one case. He found co-council in the county that my case had been filed, and saved me hundreds of dollars for travel and time. He is a very tough negotiator and can get you what you are seeking from your Divorce. I cannot recommend him more to anyone looking for an attorney who can get your case closed in a timely and professional manner.

Attorney Chris French, went above and beyond for me, he's professional and to the point he got everything thing I needed him to do and more. He will be my attorney from now on. My daughter's father was making accusations about me making me seem like a terrible mother which if anyone has seen me with my daughter you would know he's full of it because she is my whole reason for being put on this Earth. No matter what they said Chris never faltered. He was amazing and I say if you want a shark of a lawyer Chris French is your guy.
