Mr. Lefebvre was kind, helpful and extremely professional. Nothing was ever dragged out ... he was quick and to the point every step of the way. I highly recomend him as an Attourney who cares yet is professional.

We had filed for bankruptcy with another attorney and after our hearing one of our creditors filed a suit against us. Our attorney couldn't handle the claim any longer and referred us to Christopher. He was very prompt and assertive. Any time I contacted he responded right away and he always reassured us that he had the matter under control. It was a pleasure working with him and we couldn't have made it through the bankruptcy without him.

I was just recently in the process of purchasing a truck at a used car dealership and found out that the dealership was attempting to scam me with yo-yo financing. I called Chris and he was great. Very knowledgeable and really went above and beyond. My wife and I are extremely grateful for his help and would recommend.

Thank you for your exceptional service in handling my child support case on my behalf. You ensured that my child’s needs were met and saved me thousands of dollars in very little time. I would highly recommend you!

Dear Mr Lefebvre, I am writing to express my most sincere appreciation for your professional and affordable legal representation. It was a challenging time for my family and I prior to the start of your legal representation, however you were able to put me at ease by walking me through each step until the conclusion of this case. Thanks again for such an excellent service and I wish there were more of you out in the world for clients like me. Respectfully, Amre C

I contacted Christopher for a consultation after another local divorce attorney had my case for almost a year. he was confident, fair, and straightforward about what could be done to complete the case and pick up from the other attorney that was just kicking the ball along. Everything was thorough and completed ahead of schedule, much to my surprise and for so much less than the other attorneys had quoted. TOP NOTCH representation and excellent communication. Christopher was always back to me within a couple of hours. If you're considering a great attorney- give him a call! you'll be glad you did. Thanks Christopher and Maria for a job well done!

If I can give higher than 5 stars on this review - I absolutely would! Attorney Christopher Lefebvre and his office went above and beyond to assist on delicate matter involving a debt collection suit. Sometimes a person’s formative years can catch up on them later in life unexpectedly, which was the situation I had involving a credit card owed many years prior that closed. It has now reared its ugly head in the form of a suit for an amount away above the credit limit. I couldn’t believe this was happening as I understood this debt was “charged off” years prior and did not think I could be sued now for such an incorrect amount. I did what most would and researched relentlessly on how to make suit “go away” and next steps needed to handle matter – which was to timely file an Answer. Next thing – I get notice that default judgment entered by the court due to an incorrect assertion by the plaintiff that I “failed to answer, plead or otherwise defend”. I was scared, nervous and confused on why/how default judgement could enter after timely filing Answer and without opportunity to be heard. Hearing the terms “default judgement” and “garnishment” or “levy” – your mind immediately takes you to dark place and your overcome by fear/anxiety of the consequences this can have on your financial wellbeing. Entry of default judgement accelerated matter tenfold, and I immediately contacted attorneys to see who help me and how best to proceed. Although I contacted many law offices, I actually spoke with few attorneys that were either aloof, unhelpful, or more concerned with a monetary agreement in place before hearing the facts further. All those I spoke with just assumed when they heard “debt collection suit” and “default judgment” that I failed to timely respond. However, my matter was different and that was NOT the case. I did what I had to do procedurally and felt default judgement entered in error – but none of the attorneys seemed to acknowledge that fact or simply did not care. I felt lost and helpless after these unsuccessful conversations. Finally a glimmer of hope came in the form of a call back from Attorney Lefebvre’s office. I laid out facts leading up to the suit, steps taken so far and willingness to settle, despite inaccuracies and request to vacate default judgment. Attorney Lefebvre listened attentively, looked up case docket and immediately sprang into action. Attorney Lefebvre agreed that default judgement should NOT have entered. Since creditor's counsel is a party that Attorney Lefebvre was very familiar with – he immediately contacted them on my behalf to propose settlement offer, request to vacate default judgment and dismiss the case. Attorney Lefebvre truly listened without judgment and reviewed case then without hesitation assisted by reaching out to other side. He asked for no compensation since he felt it was “crystal clear” default judgment should NOT have entered. Entering the legal world as a pro se litigant with little to no knowledge of laws can be unnerving and intimidating. However, Attorney Lefebvre’s straight-forward/practical approach (i.e., expertise in the law) and personable touch quelled those fears. As we wait to see what the other side will do, Attorney Lefebvre has been very transparent on the next actions to be taken and very responsive as well. Although I’m hoping for a favorable outcome that ends with the other side consenting to my initial offer/request, if not – at least I have comfort knowing that Attorney Lefevrbe will be hired to fully represent my interests during the pendency of the case. I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Lefebvre to anyone needing professional assistance or guidance with handling any precarious legal matter involving financial issues/hardships. Attorney Lefebvre and his team will go above and beyond to assist and meet your needs. They're honest, efficient, and highly reputable!

Attorney Christopher Lefebvre helped me win a very tough case in Superior Court, where the outcome was uncertain. Chris is trustworthy and sharp, and he modulated my expectations from the beginning, while at the same time zeroing in on the essence of the conflict in our first meeting, laying out the first steps needed to increase the odds in my favor. Once engaged, he deployed his considerable experience and expertise to build the best case possible. He waded through the murky waters of my case’s history, and made sense of a complex narrative. The deposition he took was thorough and he asked all the right questions. It proved effective in avoiding a trial as well as a settlement. He delivered a successful outcome during a challenging post-pandemic period. I would hire Chris again and would consider his skills and professionalism very valuable in resolving disputes.

my Chapter 13 plan became too complicated for my existing attorney. I was not getting any answers and there was no plan on how to move forward. From the moment that I spoke to Attorney Lefebvre, it was obvious that this person has the knowledge, expertise, and motivation to get things accomplished. Within a week of accepting my case, he had everything sorted out and back on track. My stress levels decreased pretty quickly, once he was involved. I highly recommend Chrisptpher Lefebvre. Give him a call, you will surely be impressed.
